Growing in Faith
Matt’s message is rooted in Mark 10.17-31. What powers might be holding us captive and preventing us from taking a next step into the freedom toward which Grace lures us? How might we grow in faith? What might the story of Jesus and the rich young ruler have to teach us about growing in faith today?
Our Vintage Church’s Future: Tony Soprano, Pablo Escobar, & Jesus
Our gathering was rooted in Mark 9.38-50. Matt’s message invites reflection on how followers of Jesus have drawn lines of exclusion, yet Jesus is always on the other side of our lines…Jesus is always with the outsiders. How might this shape our vintage church’s next five years? Daryl Black joined our phenomenal music team again this morning as we continued our celebration of #thetableturns5. This is the third week in a three-week series called Our Vintage Church.

We celebrated The Table turning 5 in worship this morning. Our gathering was rooted in Mark 9.30-37. This is the second week in a three-week series called Our Vintage Church.

Linda’s message invites reflection on Jesus and is rooted in John 6. Who do we say that Jesus is? What is the significance of Jesus in our lives today? This is the fourth week of our five-week worship series called On Ramp. The music featured in this week’s podcast is Joe Kye singing Jesus Are You Real by Mason Jennings.

Matt’s message invites reflection on how we relate to the Bible. Some followers of Jesus argue “the bible says it, they believe it, that settles it.” Others reject Christianity for such simplistic worldviews. How might we relate to the Bible in our contemporary lives? Where do we start if we’re picking up the Bible again after many years away? How might we wrestle with the Bible as we make meaning of our lives? Matt’s message is rooted in Acts 17.10-12.…
