Everyone has a need to for a guide in life to help us through the unknowns. That guide is Jesus. We get guidance from him through the Spirit and the Scriptures, but we hear God's voice and understand the scriptures best in community. We all need guidance as we walk through life and that begins with community.
A Picture of Discipline and Correction
All of the effort to rebuild was to the precursor to invite everyone (the exiles) back to Jerusalem so they could reorder their lives around God and his kingdom. The same is true for us as a church. As we rebuild we need to remember that we are rebuilding for the sake of those who have not yet come through our doors. This is why we are opening doors to Vineyard campuses all around our city.
How to Save a Life
The church is always one generation away from becoming even more like the people of God we’re called to be! And it’s our corporate responsibility to continually pass the torch of faith to the next generation no matter what age or stage we’re in. Whether you’re a retired sage or a university student, a middle-schooler or a matriarch – if you are a follower of Jesus – you have an important role to play in igniting the faith of the next generation. Join us as we consider the blessings we have to pass along as we embrace, equip, and empower the next generation.
How to Deepen a Child's Spiritual Life
Gathered to Become Generous
It's easy to forget why we need to gather together as God's people. Hebrews 10:25 reminds us to "not give up the habit of gathering together, as some are doing"… In this series, Gathered, from the book of Acts, we will look at what happens when the church gathers together. What we will see is that our proximity to one another and to God releases power to change the world.

The Ongoing Work of Rebuilding
Remember the law of entropy? Things are always breaking down. No matter what we build (or rebuild), the job of upkeep is never finished. What does Nehemiah teach us about our calling in this world and how there may just be a constantly repeating nature to everything we do as we seek to build the kingdom and the church. And what vision is there attached to that? Vision for not just continual work, but for continued growth, continued innovation.
