Raleigh Vineyard Christian Fellowship: Raleigh, NC Sermons

On the last day of this year and this decade, pastor Grant challenges us to live lives wide open to what God wants to do among us.

Our final message for Advent 2019. The fourth practice that makes the most out of our waiting is love - being the object of God's love and sharing his love with each other. We slip into the story of Lazarus in John 11 to talk about love in the time of grief and loss.

Our 3rd message in the Essentials Advent series. This message focuses on the practice of Joy as we try to make the most of the time between how things are now and the way we know the kingdom coming will be. As we look backward at Jesus' first advent we also look forward to the day our wait will be over and Jesus will come back, bringing heaven with him. Luke 2 and 15.

2nd message in our Advent series. Peace from the Gospel of Mark. Jesus came into the world on that very first Advent to bring us real peace, lasting peace, a peace that bullies and internal and external conflicts can’t take away.

Today's message is the first in our Advent series for this year. We're focusing on the essential elements of the Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Brian introduces the formational practice of waiting and talks about the very personal nature of hope.  

Cristo es nuestro regalo de Dios. - Sin Él y su ejemplo, estaríamos sin hogar en nuestra propia independencia, poniendo nuestra esperanza en la falsedad del mundo. Nuestra esperanza fundamental vive y crece en la casa de nuestro Padre.

Estamos en el lugar más seguro cuando nuestra expectativa de cambiar está arraigada en las preciosas y grandes promesas de Dios (2 Pedro 1:4), y aprendemos a vivir en la manera de un amor humilde y sacrificial - así como Jesús lo modeló para nosotros.

La historia de Amor de Navidad nos enseña a ser mejores amigos, hermanos, padres, vecinos, líderes y trabajadores.

Cuando la iglesia muestra un amor incondicional, ferviente, sacrificado y fiel al mundo, tal como el Padre lo hizo en Cristo, podemos verdaderamente ofrecer esperanza a un mundo en oscuridad. ¡Luz en medio de las tinieblas!

In today's message, pastors Brian and Freddy share a tag-team message during a combined RV/RV en Espanol service. The text is Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and together they explore what being better together means today.

Today's message is part of our series, "Better Together: a Fellowship of Differents." We dig in to Galatians 3:28 and its context to uncover Paul's convictions that putting on Christ and living our lives out of him means shedding our cultural, social and gender biases. There are no "less thans" in the kingdom of God.

14 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. 15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

Today's message is about being a mixed salad and through a conversation of differents, recognizing the unique flavors and textures we each bring to our life together.
