Matthew 4:23
As we begin a series on Vineyard Values, we consider what Jesus meant by His Kingdom among us. To experience the Kingdom is to live with Jesus as your King. The Kingdom to come is manifest to us and through us now. It has come in power now. Followers of Jesus are to live in the upside-down values of His Kingdom.

Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5:20-21
We embrace God's saving, regenerating grace by recognizing our need for it, then receiving it and living out it's freedom. This best occurs within community.

Luke 9:57-10:4
As followers of Jesus, we know we must count the cost, but sometimes we work harder at getting out of situations, when we should be working on how we can get through them. The missional life involves walking with Jesus, and learning from him. He has a purpose for your life, and spiritual disciplines help you keep at it and stay focused.

What Does It Mean to be Human? - AI and the Son of Man, Jesus
Sunday Jul 23, 2023
Sunday Jul 23, 2023
Genesis 1:26-27
In Genesis we see that humankind was created in God's image, bearing the marks of God, but not being God. Nevertheless, Jesus was the only true human who lived in the sinless humanity designed by God. How do we maintain our humanity in light of Artificial Intelligence? By living a cross-shaped life as Jesus did, serving God and others. Don't let AI consume you.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
As we begin to conclude the series, "Living a Life of Spiritual Renewal", we may ask why we should seek that. Once we recognize our sinfulness and failures, and then grasp the awesome mercy of God shown in the sacrifice of His Son, our gratitude is shown by living a life that is pleasing to Him. It's one that is spiritually renewed daily.

1 Kings 19:4-12
Jesus found it necessary to seek solitude regularly, to fellowship with the Father and gain strength. He did it when he needed preparation, wisdom, and rest, or when he was in mourning. He also sought solitude when he was caught in busyness, or before important events. Let Jesus be our example. As Elijah of old, listen for God's quiet voice.

Sunday Jul 02, 2023
2 Timothy 3:10-17
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped for the tasks God has for us. As we read the Bible, we need to let the Bible read us.

Acts 20:18-35
As we review how we spend our time during a week, how much was spent serving God and others? In order to impact the lives of others, we need to spend time getting to know them, and seeking to serve them. In the Acts passage, we find Paul speaking of his investment into the lives of those in the early Church.

2 Corinthians 8:1-12, 9:6-11
An important part of spiritual renewal is Generosity, which is a reflection of God's grace. Jesus was generous, so we should be also. It is sacrificial and always requires faith. Sowing seeds of generosity reaps a generous harvest of joy.
