Those who followed the early Church did so at a great cost. It cost them their time, their talents, and treasure. They joined other believers and devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and fellowship.

Just as Jesus cleared out the temple in Jerusalem, so is He inviting you to let Him clean out your temple. The question is, would you trust Him to do it?

As followers of Christ, we must choose the posture of hearing, listening, and following God’s voice just as sheep hear and follow the voice of their shepherd.

What posture do you take amid difficult times? We have a choice; we either believe in God’s plan in tough times or we don’t.

When we submit to God’s will, we partner with Jesus, The Prince of Peace, who crushes Satan under our feet.

Jesus commanded us to love one another amid disagreements. Why? Because He first loved us.

Speaker: Dustin Scott Passage: Romans 16:1-16 Give Them A Word Of Comfort I want to share something before we dive into the scriptures. This is a cool insight into how God designed the church to work. I woke up this morning, and I was sitting with the Lord. Every time I teach, I try to […]

In Romans 15, we see that many troubles tested the people of Macedonia, who were very poor. Through their struggles and poverty, they gave what they had.

It’s not wrong to have dreams, plans, and desires, but God’s way may include detours that lead us to His ultimate goal and purpose.

The Holy Spirit changes us from within. Even in times of difficulty and lack of faith, there is a spiritual solution to our earthly problems.

When Abraham, in Genesis, asked God for a child, God promised him that he would be the Father of Nations.

Will you still trust God if things don’t go as you wanted? We may not always see Jesus in real life, as the disciples did 2000 years ago, but every day He is giving us opportunities to get to know Him better.

Pastor Gary helped us to understand the process of walking in preference of others. It starts by resisting entitlement by trusting in the sovereignty of God.

In Luke 11:1-11, the disciples came to Jesus and said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” They wanted to lean into prayer.

Refusing the rights we believe we deserve, being willing to suffer for the benefit of others, and laying down our lives in in servics–this is the way of Jesus.

The impossible is made possible by God. He will never call us to do something He has not done first.

Nehemiah’s ultimate intention – let the revelations of God be known.

Our unhealed past and brokenness can hinder the freedom we have in Christ. As soon as you confront and give up your inner narrative to God, then you have the freedom in Him to welcome other people with love and joy.

What is Sabbath? A day set aside to rest, not to work, it’s a holy day. The Lord modeled this for us in the Creation story as He rested on the 7th day.

Completing the Fit & Finish Campaign will allow us to close this chapter of the building project and release the Vintage Team to move forward in the things God has called us into. For such a time as this!

God can handle your opinions and preferences, but we must be careful about how they affect others around us.

There is a way we serve Jesus that pleases God. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is not based upon my preferences or choices, but The Kingdom of God is the reality that I belong to and is led by Jesus.

The Church is Christ’s eternal reward, so let us love, give, serve, and participate in unifying and edifying rather than dividing our preferable matters.

We believe that Holy Spirt is stirring up the waters in Vintage City Church, and our hope is in His presence, which will never leave or forsake us.

Jesus died so humanity had a pathway back to being His image bearers. It was the cross that secured our path back to Him.

“The day will come when Eternity will become reality. What areas in your life are you not yielding to God? Judgement Day will come and we will stand accountable for how we lived our lives for Him. His goal for us is to have the attitude that, “Apart from God, we are nothing.”

The way we live is to prove what we believe. We have to let go of this idea that we know it’s there, but we’re not going to live it. There’s no power in that life. There’s no anointing in that life. There’s no supernatural in that life.

In Romans 14:1-12, Paul charges mature believers to cease quarreling over disputable matters by focusing instead on the indisputable attributes of God.

God’s intent for salvation, the end of history, the new heavens, and the new earth, is that Jesus, the Son would be clearly present in everyone and everything. 

What does church membership look like at Vintage and how does it reflect the early church depicted in Acts 2?

You see, acting important reveals a terrifying truth: you don’t actually think you are, and you haven’t heard His voice enough to refute that fear. 

What is our attitude supposed to be toward our government and authority in our lives?

We were always designed to be under God’s authority, and when man’s authority challenges that authority, we have a choice to make.

Engaging with others opens relational doorways for supernatural transformation. You are never going to imprint somebody in the supernatural if you don’t engage them.

What does it look like to be a people of peace? This week, we encourage you to pause and turn to Him so that His voice will transform us into gentle rightness capable of bringing all humanity to repentance.
