Vista Community Church

There's just no way around it. The journey of faith requires humility at every turn...

Don't judge, you're no good at it…

Justin and I finish up our discussion with an uncomfortable discovery...

Pastor Justin and I continue our conversation and kick around the probability of widespread Christian unity...true, sincere, authentic unity

In the first of three segments Justin and I kick around a few points from Msg 15 (Rom 15), most notably the utter necessity of humility in any degree of real unity.

Adam and I wrap up our conversation out of Rom 16...being "established" in Christ. One way of putting it is, "Being established in Christ, is being okay, no matter what." Are you?

The diverse inclusiveness of the gospel, particularly with regard to women, is groundbreaking...like an earthquake is groundbreaking. Not only was Paul on mission to breakdown national/entho boundaries with [re]gard to God's people, but gender, economic, and any other characteristic formerly dreamed up to divide humanity...

This is the first 7min of 21min with Adam Heath [re]garding the 3/20/21 Sunday teaching in Romans 16:25-27 . Contrary to what is often presumed, Paul wasn't aiming at reaching individuals or at planting local churches, (although he most certainly did), but at establishing you  (in the original language, the "you" here is plural) God's one new global Church in Christ.

When we come together in unity, God will pour anointing on the Church that blesses us, the land, the nation, and our neighbors.

COVID restrictions are lifted, and as of May 30th Vista is gathering weekly!  If gathering together to worship and encourage one another, I can guarantee you three things if you make it a point join together with your Vista family...

A people where every person matters.

Salvation is when your story is grafted into His-story.

Gov. Dewine will lift COVID constraints, effective, Jun 2nd. Oh my, what a year. It's been a wild and rough 16 months. Tragic, for many.  But God... God has used the upheaval to deepen our faith, affirm His priorities, and alter us how He has seen fit. I couldn't be more encouraged – let me tell you some of why that is...

Serving someone is not for your benefit, but for others.

The best stuff in life takes time...lot's of time.  Towering trees, resplendent marriages...and other such things.

How well the pastoral staff equip the church to be the church may be the make or break issue over the next 10 years...

The first act of love is always the giving of attention.

What's happening this summer?? Well, we're adding more weekly in-person services in the NC facility, organizing a few opportunities to connect with city partners, and in pursuit of some permanent space for services in the NW...

Zero-sum conflicts and a manipulative barrage of lies are part of a sophisticated strategy to divide people and consolidate power. As a people committed to living in the light, embracing truth, and valuing unity amidst great diversity, it's imperative for Christians to see what's going on and learn how to do something about it.

Prayer is our way of joining in with the Heavenly conversation.

We're in the midst of  a 20-week ramp-up to a celebratory [re]launch of Vista. I thought it might be helpful and encouraging to talk through some of the changes that we've implemented and anticipate, in today's podcast...a bit about worship.

Yesterday we started a 20-week ramp-up to a celebratory [re]launch of Vista. No, we aren't changing our name to Vista 2.0! That's just what we're referring to the shifts and adaptations God has led – and is leading – us through over the past 18-months. I thought it might be helpful and encouraging to talk it through. The good news (so to speak) is that Vista 2.0...isn't dramatically different than...

Today we start a 20-week ramp-up to a celebratory launch of Vista 2.0 (no, we aren't changing our name to that). That's just what we're referring to the shifts and adaptations God has led – and is leading – us through over the past 18-months. I thought it might be helpful and encouraging to talk it through. The good news (so to speak) is that it's Vista 2.0...not Something Else 1.0!  Although we h...
