The Vine Church UMC

Being a part of the Church is an honor and privilege. As we wrap up our series "The Church," our focus during the service will be to celebrate the members of the Body.

The true love a groom has for his bride is undeniable. In this message, Pastor Andrew will explain how the church is the bride of Christ and how the love Jesus has for His bride is like no other love.

The church is more than just a place we’ll get to when we can fit it into our schedule. The church is a body. In Week Two of the series “The Church,” Pastor Gus will help us see beyond the church as simply a building so we can embrace the church as a body of united, unique followers of Christ.

Monuments are great historical sites to visit on vacation and take photos of. In this first message of our series “The Church,” Pastor Andrew will show us that the church is not a monument stuck looking to the past. Instead, it’s an actively moving body of people serving each other and the community around them.

How do you feel when someone tells you what to do? If you’re like most people, you’d rather just do things your way. In this final week of “Your Move”, Pastor Gus will show us that the things Jesus tells us to do are more about the greatness of becoming who we were made to be and less about keeping us from doing things our way.

When we are wronged, our human nature so often tells us to hold on and hate. But Jesus tells us to let go and love. In week three of “Your Move”, Pastor Andrew will encourage us with ways to love our enemies in spite of our human nature not to.

Suffering and Joy. Two very opposite realities. But Jesus says they go hand in hand. If you are longing to find joy in a challenging circumstance, in week two of “Your Move”, Pastor Gus will help you see how changing your focus can be the answer.

Following Jesus is no game of Simon Says. Sometimes it’s just hard. But the pay off for doing hard things is always worth it. In week one of “Your Move”, Pastor Andrew will unpack some “all in or all out” Truths we need to know on our journey as we follow Jesus.

One of the biggest things we’re called to do as followers of Jesus is share our faith. But if you’re like a majority of Christians, you have a list of reasons why this is just hard. In this week’s message, Pastor Andrew will help us realize that sharing our faith values with others can be less intimidating when we strengthen our relationship with God.

How would your day-to-day life be different if you lived in a way that showed your Christian values in such a positive light that people around you were left wanting what you have? In this message, Pastor Andrew encourages us to live out our values in our relationships with others while we become more aware of God around us in the daily grind.
