Wilderness
Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 4.1-13 and invites reflection on entering the wilderness of Lent.
Privilege
Linda and Matt invite reflection on how Scripture and our Christian tradition might frame our disruption of privilege. The message is rooted in Mark 3.1-6.
Fear
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 12.18-21 & invites reflection on how we might move through fear into more trusting and faithful ways of being.
Guns & Gun Violence
Matt’s message puts guns & gun violence on The Table and is rooted in Micah 4.1-4 and Joel 3. Here is a link to Rev. David Lewicki’s blog on December 3, 2015 called We Are All Mass Murderers (And All Victims of It). The clips of music in this podcast are both the original music of The Brilliance. The songs are called Run and Love Shall Overcome.
In the Beginning
Linda’s message is rooted in John 1.1-9 and invites reflection as we begin the new year together.

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.
The Table Turns 5
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.
