Vineyard Church Maryville

God is our Creator and our maker. And in His great intelligence, He designed us to thrive & flourish. And honoring the Sabbath, working six days a week and taking one day to stop, rest & worship is part of His design. The Sabbath is a gift - a gift we are commanded to enjoy.

We tend to measure success and ministry by visible, quantifiable metrics ("scoreboard mentality" or "empire logic"), but this preoccupation distracts from the true, hidden nature of God's work. The kingdom of God is advancing through "seed logic"—small, faithful acts planted in the dark that God sovereignly multiplies and transforms into the expansive kingdom.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a treasure to be discovered. Whether you're searching or simply happen upon it, it is worth giving everything to obtain it because Jesus gave everything for us.

We have been given an invitation to God's great banquet. Have we accepted or have we made excuses? In the same moment, we have the invitation in hand to give to others. Who are we giving those invitations to?

Moms were called to give life... And so is everyone else! God gave life by speaking life, and He called us to do the same. This means that our words matter. What we say and how we speak has the power to hurt or heal, spread fear or faith, bring death or life.

What does it mean if God is pursuing us, but we aren't getting closer to him?

How to get out (and stay out) of a prison you may not even know you're in.

We can glitch from life's detours, closed doors, and hurting ourselves, and yet God has been using people with those types of struggles for thousands of years.

Life wrecks us. We bounce back. But, sometimes we bounce back, and it doesn't stick. What does it mean when we still feel lost after we've been rescued?

When a vehicle is 'totaled' it's given a salvage title, and can never be given a clean title again. What happens to us when we get busted up beyond restoration?
