The Vineyard Church - Sunday Messages

How Do I Follow Jesus?

Are you an apprentice of Jesus or just a consumer of church culture? Pastor Kelly tackles the discipleship crisis in America and challenges us to move past "tier-system" faith into true, life-altering transformation. In this message, Pastor Kelly dives into the Gospel of Mark to explore the radical nature of Jesus' call: "Come, follow me." Pulling back the curtain on the intense cultural context of ancient Jewish schooling, she contrasts the deep, life-long commitment of a true rabbi's apprentice with the consumer-driven "MLM culture" that shapes modern American Christianity. If you've found yourself treating faith like a gym day pass, or if you've quietly "un-enrolled" from spiritual practices due to burnout, deconstruction, or church hurt, this episode is a gentle but urgent invitation to reconstruct and re-engage. Discover the daily rhythm of what it means to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did.

How Can a Good God Allow Suffering?

How do we reconcile an all-powerful Creator with the visceral "ache" of a broken world? This message moves past shallow religious platitudes to explore why a mature faith must hold space for both the cross and the resurrection. Discover how to meet the God who doesn't just explain our suffering, but chooses to suffer alongside us.

How Do We Determine What is Right?

In a world of complex choices and competing philosophies, how do we truly discern right from wrong? Pastor Trey examines the limitations of human reason and explores how the witness of Scripture, communal wisdom, and the Holy Spirit form us into people of character.

How Do I Pray?

In this message from our Foundations of Faith series, Pastor Jonita explores Luke 11 and the true heart of prayer. Moving beyond rigid rituals, she reminds us that prayer is simply an invitation to a conversation with a Father who already knows our needs. Whether you're reciting the Lord's Prayer or a simple "Jesus, fix it," your foundation in Christ is what carries you through.

Why Do We Sing?

Why is singing such a central pillar of the Christian faith? This week, we continue our Foundations of Faith series by looking at the purpose of corporate worship and how singing shapes our hearts and our community. Please Note: Due to a brief technical issue with our livestream, the first two minutes of this recording are missing. Audio begins shortly after the introduction.
