Hi Vineyard fam,Â
As we move forward from Holy Week and our journey through Lent and the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Adam encourages us to ask: What now? This Sunday, we’ll concl...
Hi Vineyard fam,Â
We are going to change this up and get a little more personal with the weekly updates. There is now going to be a video rather than a blog post.Â
We're at the midpoint of the week of prayer and this Friday we will hav...
Be ready for the Lord’s coming… This is the subheading in my Bible introducing the passage from Luke 12:35-48. “Be ready for the Lord’s coming.” Eschatology, the study of the Biblical end times, consumes much attention and energy of th...
Well, I’m back…
This week is the weird post-break time that makes me wish both that I was still on a break, but also wish that I never took a break in the first place. As important as rest and restoration is, I don’t like being away a...

Yes, the Defiance series is over…or is it? Yes. But not yet. I have a feeling that this series will have some legs in the life of our congregation. Defiance has served as a helpful paradigm to compare the difference between the way cul...
24 Suddenly, Festus shouted, “Paul, you are insane. Too much study has made you crazy!”
25 But Paul replied, “I am not insane, Most Excellent Festus. What I am saying is the sober truth. 26 And King Agrippa knows about these things. I...
