Vineyard Richmond Weekly Message

What’s the score… Have you ever thought about what that means? What are you truly asking when you ask “Whats the score?" You’re asking, “How are they doing?” How long has it been since someone has asked you how you were doing?

Your present situation has no bearing upon the things that God has planned for you. God is going to be near to you this year.

For Christmas, God asked something big of Joseph. Something bigger than he might have felt was acceptable.

As family we all sit rocking little children and don’t give too much thought to anything other than getting them to sleep, or to stop crying, or fed. We don’t have a clue the extent of influence we can have on a friend, a neighbor, or a neighbors child.

What miracle are you needing right now? What miracle would you like from Jesus this year? What have you given up hoping for.

Welcome to the Christmas season. What do you associate with Christmas? What about miracles?

There is something special about eating together. The early church was eating together and sharing with anyone they could find. What does that look like for us?

We’d like to believe that every time Jesus asks something of us, it will be smooth sailing, but that isn’t always the case, especially if he is trying to shape us.

Peter chose to run towards the words of eternal life when others chose to run away from it. Where do you run to when the teaching is hard, and life gets difficult?

This is what Christian people do, they open up their homes and host groups and people. They give and provide for those in need-- that’s what the Bible says anyway.

Sometimes following God can feel like you are on the receiving end of a wrecking ball. Like you are holding a big “X” on your back.

Parenting is an exercise in intentionality. You can’t ever let your guard down on that. We have to stay intentional. But not just in our parenting...

I can’t expect to pass on anything I don’t keep and model myself. But I also have to share it. The things we are careful to keep are the things we are able to pass on.

The Devil’s wrecking ball keeps crashing through morality, integrity, truth… Families are being attacked on every side, but are we wrecking our own children?

How are you being intentional about sowing your children into the Kingdom of God?

Join us as Pastor Joe wraps-up Holy Moses out at Canaan Acres Farm.

God is working on a plan that we are not privy to. He is building his church, and asking you to make it happen.

Jesus instructs us to be givers not takers. Give testimony, give love, give truth.

Moses did what we all do, he ran from God. But where do we hide from God?

Have you even been there—where the dream you were holding had to be released to the wilds?

Sometimes God really wants to move and we yield to his tug at our hearts. But when we run through life at 100 miles an hour we don’t always have time to give to God.

We draw near to God. We cry out to him. The Bible says, if we draw near to God he will draw near to us.

When you think of real rest, what do you think of? Beaches? Camping? A cup of coffee and the lake? A cup of coffee and a gentle rain?

What does it take to make you cynical enough to slow down, or give up entirely on God?
