In this message series called Lifehacks, we are looking at practices and principles that make life work. We all have a way of doing things, but sometimes it helps to stop and ask how well our way is working. In this message, Dan & Anita Wilt give valuable insight in ancient practice of prayer. They relate this practice directly to parenting, but also to life.

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)

In this message series called Lifehacks, we are looking at practices and principles that make life work. We all have a way of doing things, but sometimes it helps to stop and ask how well our way is working. In this message, Pastor Jon Sterns teaches on the practice of use. It's based on a parable of Jesus from Matthew 25.

His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share you master’s happiness!”

Matthew 25:21 (NIV)

You've got questions, we have answers! In this message, Pastor Jon and Kitty Sterns use a "Q&A" format to talk about the foundation of worship at the vineyard. There are some laughs and some really insightful moments as they discuss principles of worship within a congregational setting and in the life of every believer.

There are practices in life that just make life work better. Some people call these "Lifehacks". In this message series we're looking at some biblical principals and practices that do just that. In this message, Pastor Jon Sterns shares on practice of perseverance.

“Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Galatians 6:9

When we are filled with the knowledge of the rule and reign of God, there is no place in our lives that is off limits to a transformation of finances, brokenness or health. The Kingdom of God gives sight to the spiritually blind and the result is that we become great visionaries.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Genesis 1:26 (NIV)

If we try to build our lives on anything but the Father's love for us, we are building a life on very shaky ground. The Father's love for you is the plumb line of your spiritual foundation. When we begin to lose the centrality of the Father's Love, it affects everything. We lose the nearness of God and He becomes distant, His presence is no longer present, the generosity of the Father's heart no longer stirs our hearts; our worship becomes stale, and we move into religiosity rather relationship. In this message, Pastor Jon points us back to the Father's love for us.

Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Jude 1:21

What did Jesus do after His resurrection? Pastor Jon Sterns shares one account of an encounter with Jesus after He is resurrected. Pastor Sterns uses this story to give us a picture of the Kingdom of God and the King, Jesus.

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world… But now my kingdom is from another place.”

John 18:36 (NIV)

The crowds on Palm Sunday were all excited because they thought that Jesus was the Messiah. But, did they really grasp what Jesus had come to do? In this message, Andrew Kiteck gives some insight into the mission of Jesus and all He came to accomplish through His life, death and resurrection. As you listen, may you be stirred to enter more fully in to this Gospel of the Kingdom.

As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.”   Luke 19:41-42

If we're honest, we'd rather be served than to serve. We are born as self-centered individuals with a desire for others to fulfill our needs. When we look at the life of Christ, we find the opposite. He came to serve rather than to be served. Pastor Jon Sterns calls us to this Christ-like attitude in this first message of the series: Christ the King. This servant attitude of Christ should be the calling card of the Church. It's what we lead with.

"Not so with you. Instead, shoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. For the Som of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."

Mark 10:43-45

Disappointment at some level is inevitable in this life. It is actually important what we do with it. In this message, Art Witulski gives insight on how to navigate times of disappointment. 

“Yet I call this to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:21-23
