Thomas Dickson explores the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus and the profound gifts Jesus offers. Thomas will share how each declaration in each of Christ’s statements reveals a divine gift that meets humanity’s deepest needs. These gifts, freely given, remind us that the true essence of Christmas is found in embracing the eternal hope and love of Christ Jesus.

For this second of a two-part series on, “Thanksgiving.” We look at how a thankful lifestyle is rooted in the grace we receive from God. How we gain a better perspective of God’s grace when it comes to cultivating a thankful heart as a lifestyle.

As we head into the Thanksgiving season, this Sunday we start a two part series on gratitude. We will begin by looking at the Biblical principles of blessings received when we are thankful, and live a life of gratitude. And most importantly, how can we cultivate a life of gratitude within us for others to experience?

As we finish the last and final chapter of the Book of Revelation, we get a glimpse of what eternity will look like, as well as the final words from Jesus. Jesus, the Lion of Judah, had the opening words to what the Apostle John was about to experience as he wrote the Book of Revelation, and Jesus has the parting words as well. All for our benefit as we live life here on earth in expectation for what is to come as our eternal home is being prepared.

In the Book of Revelation Chapter 21 we see the new heaven and new earth are formed, as well as the new Jerusalem. We get a glimpse of what the next chapter of life for a believer will look like after the Millennial Kingdom. The history of time is over, and eternity begins!

As we look at the Book of Revelation Chapter 20, we see an amazing event about to happen called the Millennial Kingdom. This teaching will show us what happens in between the time of the Tribulation Period and the Millennial Kingdom, as a variety of God's covenants will be fulfilled during this time.

As we cover chapter 19 in the Book of Revelation we see that Jesus is returning to the earth to judge all those in rebellion of him, as well as conquering the antichrist for his final defeat in the battle of Armageddon. This signifies the end of the 7-Year Tribulation Period, and ushers in the Millennial Reign.

As we are coming to the end of the 7-year Tribulation Period in chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation, we see the complete destruction of the system of Babylon. God has been at war with Babylon the great city since the beginning of civilization, and her judgment comes swiftly as He avenges the justice of years in the waiting.

As part of our "Missions Sunday," Chip shares with us what God says about helping those in need. God calls His church to be the ones to help, and in doing so He will take care of the helpers.

This is our annual missions report as we hear from those who oversee the various missions Vineyard Community supports. We will see what's happening in Vietnam with the wheelchair ministry, Steve Fitterer shares how the feeding children program is going in Haiti, Chip Richardson gives a report on the water filter project in Brazil, and Kim Richardson talks about our new partnership with Convoy of Hope and how we are joining them in domestic missions work here in the United States.
