Episodes

Angela Otero | Jesus’ Triumphal Entry in Passover week and His activity in the Temple declare: “I lead you not into temptation; I deliver you from evil!”

Reese LeRoy | The Lord’s Prayer invites us to daily practice reconciliation with God and with each other. Through the parable of the Prodigal Son, we can understand that we don’t forgive to earn God’s forgiveness. Rather, we are invited to forgive others in response to God forgiving us.

Michelle Bauer | Conversation is the work of relationship.

Rodger Otero | How to pray as already / not yet people.

Reese LeRoy | In our Lenten message series on the Lord’s Prayer, we focus on the pairing of this call to intimacy with our Abba Papa combined with a call to worship the great and awesome God of the Universe. “Hallowed be Your name” is both a call to WORSHIP God for who He is and an invitation to EXPERIENCE Him in all that He is. …right in the midst of our human need.

Reese LeRoy | In this new message series for Lent, we focus on the prayer Jesus taught his disciples to pray. Throughout this series we will discover that the Lord’s Prayer is a trustworthy framework for learning how to have simple and intimate conversations with our Heavenly Father.

Rodger Otero | God has entrusted us with the care of His entire creation because His entire creation is His temple.

Reese LeRoy | As people created in the image of Creator God, we have all been entrusted with creativity for every arena of life. Like all of God’s gifts to us, creativity needs to be nurtured and stewarded well for His glory and for the benefit of those around us.

Angela Otero | We have been entrusted by God with the care of our own souls.

Reese LeRoy | The stewardship of our lives includes the way we handle the financial resources God has entrusted to us. Today we will consider God’s invitation and encouragement to tithe – to give 10% of our income to our local church. As we honor God with money, we will experience spiritual growth and experience more of God’s rule and reign here on earth

Mary-Margaret LeRoy | Relationships can be wonderful, hard, terrible and beautiful. The Holy Spirit will help us bring kindness, forgiveness, understanding, and discernment to them all.

Rodger Otero | Living within the limits of time requires ever-evolving wisdom.

Reese LeRoy | In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25), we see that being a good steward of what God has entrusted to us is both good for us and for the world around us. As we faithfully and creatively steward God’s gifts to us, we will see His kingdom advanced and experience His joy in our lives.

Reese LeRoy | There is so much that Creator God has entrusted to us…things He has created and given to you and me. But are these things really MINE or YOURS? Do they really BELONG to us? Did God give them to us to do with them as we please? God entrusts us with good gifts so that we might use them to honor Him and benefit others. On this New Year’s Day, we’ll be reminded of ways we can honor God each new day!

Reese LeRoy | On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we focus on God’s protecting love that saves us, protects us, and guides us on this journey of life.

Angela Otero | God puts spiritual families together: sometimes he invites you to seek out family and sometimes he invites you to receive people as they come to you.

Reese LeRoy | God’s formational work in our lives and in our families often comes with challenging situations and circumstances. As we consider Jesus’ earthly family, we see this dynamic on full display in the life of Joseph. We can be encouraged to see how God led Joseph and how he was able to experience lasting peace with Immanuel – God with us!

Rodger Otero | The past, present, and future of God’s family is a redeemed mixed-bag.

Mary-Margaret LeRoy | We are justice and righteousness in the flesh. Just as Jesus did in Luke 18:35-42 when he stopped everything to heal the blind beggar, we can stop to minister to those in need.

Reese LeRoy | We continue our Compassion Month series with a focus on God’s instruction to DO justice and righteousness as we serve and care for the poor. We can activate these in our lives by giving time and attention, money and financial resources, and our voices and influence to help the poor.

Reese LeRoy | November is Compassion Month at Vineyard Church. It’s a time to focus on God’s heart for the poor. Our theme for the month is Amos 5:24: But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! The passage reminds us that the worship that pleases God calls for right relationship with Him and right relationship with our neighbor, including the poor and powerless. Care for the poor is an essential part of the worshiping life.

Rodger Otero | There is more going on behind the curtain than what appears on the stage.

Reese LeRoy | In this section of Ephesians 5 and 6, Paul writes about mutual submission in everyday relationships. As God’s active rule and reign fills these relationships, they are redeemed and infused with His goodness, freedom, and kindness.

Sam Sahyouni | We live in a broken world, and when we enter into a relationship w/ Jesus He brings us out of darkness and into the light. However, we still live in a world wrought with darkness. We have a sinful nature within us. Therefore, to grow in light, and push back darkness, we need to practice constant vigilance.
