Vineyard Community Church

As we finish this series, we look at how Jesus is the most important thing to God. The Father / Son relationship is like no others. The second most important thing to God is that we share the Good News of Jesus with everyone, everywhere we go. And to do this, we must have a heart that mirrors Jesus' heart for people.

Today, we look at what we can do to help us get to know just what our Kingdom mission is. It's important to study the life of Jesus, understand without a doubt who we are in Jesus (Our Kingdom identity), and to be part of a healthy church community.

Today, we unpack the fact that all believers are called to be on Kingdom Mission with Jesus. We look at the first Kingdom mission for a group of people, the twelve disciples, and the instructions Jesus gave them while they traveled from town to town healing the sick and sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom. We are called to do the very things the disciples did 2,000 years ago... The message is the same!

As we start a new series we are looking at the model Jesus sets for the mission He has for us to join Him in. Who did Jesus come for, and how do we go about sharing the Good News of the Kingdom of God?

Also, today is the day we are taking our Convoy of Hope One Day to Feed the World offering. Chip shares what this is all about, and how can we be part of this campaign in making a donation?

Chip shares with us the importance of being eager to help those in need, to remember the poor. Taking care of those in need is a core value of the Vineyard Movement, but more than that, it is the overarching theme throughout the entire Bible. Are we eager to help the poor? Because when we do we also reap the benefits of being taken care of by God!

Today is the day we report on what is happening with the three international missions we support with the Easter offering donated to these ministries every year. Chip reports on what is happening with the water filter project in Brazil. Steve Fitterer gives an update on the Jeremy Center feeding program in Haiti, and Kim Richardson shares of our first trip with Convoy of Hope and the women's empowerment initiative we recently began supporting.

Our special guest from Convoy of Hope, Bryan McLees, shares with us one of the most important aspects of the Gospel of Jesus, and that is to always remember the poor. The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Galatians how he has always been eager to help those in need. This is the example we as Christians should all follow.

As part of our partnership with Convoy of Hope and their "One Day to Feed the world" initiative, Chip interviews Bryan McLees from Convoy of Hope to better give an idea of what ONE DAY is all about, and also an inside look at what Convoy of Hope is doing around the world.

As we end our three-part series titled, “Climate Change,” we will be looking at the hope our faith in Jesus provides as we go through difficult seasons of life, and how God is always at work producing hope in us so that we can do the things He’s calling us to do.

In Part 2 of our “Climate Change” sermon series, we will look at how our identity in Christ plays a role in the climate others experience through us. Our security in Christ, or our insecurities often predicts how well we represent the Kingdom of God in our relationships.
