VUE Church

Matthew 7:1-5 says, “Do not judge…” What does Jesus mean by that? Is it ever right to call out something wrong in another? Ultimately, Jesus gives us a big generous gift of truth-telling with love for us to practice here. We'd love for you to join us in person at one of our Sunday gatherings--10a at Gower Elementary. You can visit us online at vuechurch.org SLIDES/QUOTES George read in our gatheri...

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus addresses worry asking if it actually helps us in any way. He then invites us to look at the living things around us in nature, like birds & wildflowers, reminding us that God knows our needs and will certainly care for us as he does them.  At the end of this teaching, George guided us in a short meditation & reflection to practice what Jesus invited us to do...

In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus addresses our hearts about our relationship with money and heaven. George continued this journey through the Sermon On The Mount and talked about how "storing up treasures in heaven" was an invitation to live our lives right here, right now with length, breadth, depth & substance. We also heard from Scott Reall, of Restore Small Groups and the author of Journey To Fre...

At the center of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:9-13), Jesus turns to a prayer that can guide us in what it means to be human.  We'd love for you to join us in person at one of our Sunday gatherings--10a at Gower Elementary. You can visit us online at vuechurch.org SLIDES/QUOTES George read in our gathering: Just imagine how different your life would be if moment by moment you were consta...

At the center of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:5-13), Jesus turns to a prayer that can guide us in what it means to be human.  George talked about why prayer matters to our lives, and why it's much deeper than just "talking with God," but rather an experience of God's loving presence that is always near and accessible. “It is the heart which experiences God...this then is faith; God felt...

Continuing with Jesus' words from the Sermon On The Mount in the gospel of Matthew, George moved into chapter 6 (verses 1-4) to explore what Jesus might have meant when he said: "be careful not to practice your righteous to be seen by others." We'd love for you to join us in person at one of our Sunday gatherings--10a at Gower Elementary. You can visit us online at vuechurch.org

What does Jesus mean when he says: "do not resist an evil person, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you?" He is not saying that we should be passive and just take more abuse. He means something else which invites us to transcend both passivity and violence. George from Matthew 5:38-48 teaches us that Jesus offers us something surprising in these passages - a creative, healing, su...

In this teaching, George shared from Matthew 5:33-37 where Jesus talks about the importance of our words—they have tremendous creative power to heal or wound, help or hinder, build up or tear down.  How many of us have said, "I'm only human!" as if it's a deficit to be human. We are continuing to learn that Jesus has a profound belief in the possibilities of being human. Jesus is raising us u...

The end of a marriage is one of the most emotionally painful human experiences. In this teaching, George focuses on Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount about lust + divorce [Matthew 5:27-32 ]. Ultimately, people who are learning to see the image of God in others, are people who are learning to live out the image of God in themselves.

George spoke to us from Matthew 5:17-20, in which Jesus talks about not coming to abolish the law but to fulfill it. In these 3 verses, we learn from Jesus to put the past and the present, a rooted faith and a changing world, sacred memory & holy imagination together. This is the question of every church in every generation: what are we going to do with these two things side by side? 

In this episode, Stacia Freeman guides us in part 2 of being the salt of the earth and the light of the world [Matthew 5:13-16].

In this episode, George takes us a little further on our journey through The Sermon on the Mount [Matthew 5:13-16], talking about how Salt & Light are about being a certain kind of gift to the world and others. People who take this seriously are bearers of redeeming love and creative stewardship,  joining Jesus in his work of blessing people who don't think they deserve it. 

On Sunday we created some sacred space in our gathering to reflect on Memorial Day as well as to mourn and pray and sing and respond with our hearts to the tragic shooting last week in Uvalde, TX. Sometimes to mourn is the only thing that makes sense. But we’re also learning and trusting that in these moments of crying out, God’s loving and guiding us forward with grace and wisdom and hope and com...

In this episode, we take another step on our journey through The Sermon on the Mount and work through the first four blessings of the Beatitudes [Matthew 5:1-6]. There is an order, progression, and brilliant flow here in which Jesus teaches us to imagine the more beautiful world and life our hearts know is possible. 

An Imaginarium is a place devoted to imagining + practicing how to actually live in the kingdom of heaven on earth. In this sermon series George invites us on a journey through the Sermon on the Mount from the book of Matthew. Many scholars believe these three chapters (5, 6, & 7) are the best summary of Jesus' teaching and seem to be the heart of it all. Jesus’ words gathered here forever cha...

Life coming through death is a gift and reality we’ve learned from Jesus. We can also see this pattern of renewal and resurrection happening all around us, and in us, everyday, from seasons to salsa. The whole physical and biological universe affirms this everywhere.

Prayer was central to Jesus and to the early church in the book of Acts. Prayer is important for us too, and it can also bring conflicted and complicated feelings to us about how it works and what it accomplishes. In this teaching, George explores this to discover, as Eugene Peterson says: "prayers are tools not for doing or getting but for being and becoming." https://vuechurch.org

This is a live recording of our Sunday gathering. What is a Church? It’s a group of people with eyes to see the work of God’s spirit in others who may be different than them. Which sometimes takes us to confusing places where we pray together, discern together, care for each other, and with gentleness and sensitivity, keep moving forward together in Christ. www.vuechurch.org

Listen along as George continues our series on What Is A Church?  We hope you find this meaningful and inspirational as we all navigate the joys and challenges of our daily lives.  Peace & joy to you all.  We love you.

Why do we sing?  In this episode, we sit down with our Worship Leader Nick Diamond as he discusses his own personal background and why he still believes worship matters now more than ever.   We have often called our gathering space a 'holy living room' whether we are in an ice center, cafeteria, or gym. It's also been important to us that no matter where you sit, you see the faces of the...

Welcome to our first gathering of 2022!  In this live recording of our service, we begin our series on What is a Church?   Some of us were taught we should go to church.   Others were not raised in a traditional church environment, but very few of us were ever taught what IS a Church?   Why does the church matter? And can the church have any impact on our personal lives as...

Listen along as we discuss 2022 at Vue Church.  We are excited to start 2022 together as a community of peace and joy.  We know that as we gather together we can live lighter and with more joy no matter what we may be facing in our lives.  You are loved!

Listen to our live teaching of our first ever Christmas Eve Service.  We hope no matter when you may listen to this episode the hope and joy of the light of Christ will light your heart so that you may extend that light to others.  Peace and joy and blessings to you and your loved ones.

Listen along as Stacia Freeman finishes up our journey through the advent series.  We were so overjoyed to have her speak and excited to release this live recording of this Preview Service.  Peace and love to you through this wonderful season!
