Vineyard Altoona Podcast

We who live the west exist in what is possible the wealthiest era of human civilization. And despite our great wealth, there still burns within many of us the desire for more. More money, more possessions, more experiences. We believe that "If I just had more.... I would find satisfaction". How should we respond to such desires?

In an age such as this, the practice of generosity exposes and resists the idolatry of wealth. And it forms us, not only to trust, but to participate in God's abundance, goodness, and generosity.

When we give our lives to Jesus, what scripture tells us is that our lives will change. We expect to be transformed. But for so many of us, we wrestle with so many of the same struggles that we had before we met Jesus. Is it possible to get free? Is transformation a reasonable expectation? Today, Derek begins our new series “The Struggle is Real”.

By design, relationships are directional. They are either growing or weakening. The same is true of our relationship with God. We don't happen upon spiritual maturity simply with the passage of time; it takes intentionality and process. In order to grow spiritually we must put our faith into practice. This week Jeri concludes our series.
