Vineyard Community Church

As we celebrate the Sunday before Christmas, we will look at the purpose behind the reason for the season. How do we find purpose to our existence from a relationship with Jesus, and how do we pass that along so others can find purpose to their existence as well? Merry Christmas!

Enjoy our annual Christmas concert in its entirety, along with a message by Pastor Chip about the compassion Jesus has on people, the love He has for us, and how an interaction with Jesus will change a person's life.

Thomas Dickson is sharing a special message titled “If It Were a Complete Christmas Story.” The message examines the completeness of the Christmas story, from the promise in the Garden of Eden to its acceptance in our hearts. It emphasizes that Christmas is not merely about a manger, but about a God who fulfills promises. The greatest gift is not found under a tree, but in the One who gave Himself for us.

As we end our series titled, “Refocus,” we will look at how great of an experience the Kingdom of God can be when we stop limiting His power, completely surrender to Him, and look for His blessings in all areas of our life. Learning to see the constant presence of the Kingdom helps with experiencing all the fullness and power of God’s unlimited resources He has to offer.

For part 2 of our “Refocus” series, Chip  teaches how we can turn little constants into big experiences as we learn the importance of seeking the presence of God with all the little things in life, and how these little constant reminders of seeking the presence of God in between the refocus moments can turn into big experiences with the Kingdom of Heaven.

Today, we are starting a new series titled, “Refocus.” This is a message intended to help us head into the holidays in a way that will provide some spiritual resources so we can refocus on what’s important in front of us. Jesus gives us a personal invitation to come to Him, follow Him, and be with Him!

As we look at the last statement Jesus made in the Beatitudes, we will notice that He is preparing His disciples for what they are about to face as they have made the choice to follow Him. This same mistreatment will happen to us as well, as it is not some strange thing happening when people insult, and say all kinds of evil things against us as we put our faith in Jesus.

This Sunday as we continue our series on the Beatitudes we look at what it means to be a peacemaker. Is Jesus looking for someone willing to go beyond just keeping the peace? To be a peacemaker means that we intentionally work for peace at reconciling relationships and being proactive in creating an atmosphere of harmony with others

As we continue with our Beatitudes series we will be looking at the condition of the heart, as Jesus teaches on the blessings of God that are upon a pure heart, for they will see God. How do we achieve a pure heart, and just what is it that Jesus is looking for as we represent the Kingdom of God here on earth.

As we continue our series on the Beatitudes, this week we are looking at the topic of mercy. God blesses those who are merciful. God pours His mercy out on those who show mercy to others. We will unpack how it is expected of a follower of Jesus to show mercy to others after receiving it from Jesus.
