Reese LeRoy | November is Compassion Month at Vineyard Church of Augusta. In this first sermon of the series God’s Justice for the Poor, Pastor LeRoy asks: What is justice? What does justice mean for our everyday lives…especially when it comes to the poor?

Reese LeRoy | It’s a question worth asking today: What is greater? The influence of the church on the dominant culture, or the dominant culture’s influence on the church? Is my life more influenced by kingdom of this world, or by Jesus and the kingdom of God?

Rodger Otero | In this sermon from our Urgent Love Letters series, we learn that Jesus opens up permanent admission into God’s presence.

In this podcast, we continue to look at Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Specifically Sardis. Conquering soldiers came like a thief in the night to capture Sardis. So this letter served as a spiritual wake-up call for them and for us.

The city of Thatira was a busy commercial town with lots of tradesmen. These tradesmen would have to belong to a trade union in which idols were worshipped. This was a big problem if you happened to follow Jesus. Let's unpack this.

Continuing the podcast series: URGENT LOVE LETTERS, we will look at the letter to the CHURCH AT PERGAMUM. The city lacked in commerce but it made up as a CENTER OF RELIGION AND WORSHIP…namely to pagan gods. In His letter, Jesus calls them to Remain True.

In this podcast, we're in the second of the seven letters found in Revelation. There were rumblings about certain issues in the city of Smyrna. Jesus' message to the church: When angry, accusing crowds explode, stay faithful to the faithful One.

In this podcast we are going to look at the letter to Ephesus. The theme for the letter is: LOVE LIKE YOU USE TO…a theme to reflect on our past and look ahead to all that God has purposed for us both as a church family and as individual households.

In this series of podcasts, we’re going to be looking at URGENT Love Letters…messages from Jesus to His Church found in the last book of the Bible – REVELATION. What was written for churches 2000 years ago still have much to say to us today.

When Jesus feels aloof, you can trust Him that there's more going on than you realize.

God is at work all around us. He invites us to join Him in His work. We have been speaking about EVANGELISM. And we could look at it as an adventure with God where everyday activities can be opportunities to share our faith. Let's step out.

Good News! Evangelism is not a strategic marketing plan. Evangelism is telling the truth about the good we have experienced with Jesus.

Evangelism can certainly feel awkward. Sharing our faith can be intimidating. Many of us get overwhelmed when we think about EVANGELISM. Many avoid evangelism for FEAR OF FAILURE.

Rick and Ellen Coffin followed God's calling to plant a church in India. This is their story and how COVID has effected that work.

As this podcast series closes we need to look at our goals. First, we want to bring God glory in our work places. Second, we want to value and honor all people who do honest and faithful work. And finally we want to have gratitude for our own jobs.

A clear identity shapes a way of living that generates more glory for God.

In this podcast we’re going to talk about THE SACREDNESS OF ALL WORK. Again, this relates to how we view and how we do our own jobs, but also how we view the work of others.

We’re going to look at how we VIEW work…both our own work and the work of others…and how we DO work…and what it says about our relationship with God.

In this podcast Don Pearson discusses the battle for identity in an age of outrage. So Whose Truth?

Fun and laughter are good gifts from God. They are good medicine for the body, mind, and spirit. Fun, laughter, and celebration were all part of Jesus’ life when he was here on earth…and they should be part of our lives today.

Fun and laughter are gifts from God that should be embraced and enjoyed by ALL His children. So why do so many people associate Christians with everything BUT fun? Could it be that we take ourselves TOO SERIOUSLY?

Jesus had a habit of having celebration parties with all the "wrong" people while others thought this behavior was a nightmare. Jesus was just doing what God is doing.

Do we consider fun, humor, or laughter “unimportant” or even “unspiritual?” Jesus was probably someone that others wanted to be around; not just because He did miracles and preached the Word of God but Jesus was a fun person to spend time with.

Cars are designed to run on a specific kind of fuel, so are we as humans. What type of fuel is that and how do we obtain it?
