Vineyard Church | Following the Way: New Creation Begins

John 20, Matthew 28 NLT
The resurrection of Jesus is not something that happened to Him. It is the beginning of what God is doing in us. Easter is not only good news to believe; it is new life to step into.

Vineyard Church | Following the Way: The King We Want vs. The King We Need

Luke 19:28–44 NLT
Jesus refuses to be the king we try to control and insists on being the King who saves. The crowd wanted a king who would fix their circumstances, but Jesus came to transform their hearts. If we’re honest, we often want the same thing... Palm Sunday invites us to surrender our expectations and follow the King we actually need.

Vineyard Church | Following the Way: Jesus Welcomes the Outsider - The Table of the King

Luke 7:36-50 NLT
Hospitality does not earn God’s love; it trains our hearts to reflect it. Kingdom people are formed at the table, learning to welcome as they have been welcomed and to extend mercy as they have received mercy. At the King’s table, belonging is not determined by reputation or labels, but by mercy. Mercy has the final word, and peace is the gift Jesus sends us home with.

Vineyard Church | Following the Way: Practices of the Kingdom: Giving, Praying, Trusting, Forgiving

Vineyard Church | Following the Way: Salty and Lighty People

Matthew 5:13–16 | Exodus 9:1–6
Jesus forms a people whose lives quietly and clearly reveal the Kingdom of God. Salt and light are not tasks to perform but identities to live from. God never intended for His people to hide in order to preserve their faith—salt left in a container preserves nothing, and light hidden under a basket does nothing. A private faith may feel safer, but it cannot impact anyone. At the same time, we are not called to dominate culture or force influence; being salt and light naturally flows from a life transformed by the Kingdom. Fear tempts us either to blend in to keep acceptance or to become loud to gain significance. But when we are secure in our identity in Christ, we simply live as who we are—and in doing so, we shine. Salt is salt, and light is light. They don’t strive to be what they already are.

Vineyard Church | Following the Way: Blessed are the Broken- the Beattitudes

The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12) aren’t traits we achieve but the fruit of a life abiding in Jesus. Christ didn’t come looking for “put-together” people—He came to call broken people into a relationship with Him. Like trees rooted in living water (Psalm 1; Isaiah 64), we rely on Him for life; the fruit is evidence, not the goal. Meekness is strength without domination, spiritual hunger is a gift, and peacemaking always costs something. The Beatitudes aren’t the way into the Kingdom—they’re the evidence of a life being transformed within it.
