Vineyard KC Podcast

In this series, 'The Way', we are learning about the launch and creation of the early Church. The disciples receive the Holy Spirit during Pentecost, and are boldly empowered to spread the Gospel of Jesus to those around them. People in the city are drawn in, and the disciples speak to all of them in their native languages, giving powerful testimony of the great things God has done.

This week, Pastor Greg begins a new series, The Way. Because Jesus is the Way, the truth, and the life, followers of Jesus in the beginning were known as ‘followers of “The Way.”’ Jesus appeared multiple times after His death to let His followers know He was alive, showing He had conquered death once and for all. We learn how the early church began, and how the apostles were given the task of spreading the message of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

This week, Pastor Greg wraps up our Elijah series.

We are in to 2 Kings as Pastor Greg continues week 9 of our Elijah series. We learn the story of Ahaziah, King Ahab's son, who is the new king after Ahab has died. When Ahaziah has a serious injury, instead of running to God, he runs to to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, making the same mistakes his father made. God appoints Elijah to confront the messengers Ahaziah sends to give them the word God gives him on whether he will recover or not.

Today we hear the story of King Ahab, who wants Naboth's vineyard, but when he doesn’t get it, his wife Jezebel plans a corrupt and dishonest scheme to get it for him. Pastor Greg talks about being faithful to God where we are. Our tendency when a door opens is to walk through it. But not every opportunity is an opportunity we are meant to step through. We have to stop viewing the world solely through the lens of self and learn to be content with what God has blessed us with.

We are in week 7 of our Elijah series. Pastor Greg talks about Elijah passing on the mantle to Elisha, who is working in his family's field and must leave behind his place of wealth, position and comfort. But we learn it is not about what God asks us to walk away from, but what He is calling us to walk towards to fulfill our calling. God's plan is so much better than our own, and no matter our circumstance or position, He calls us to be a blessing to those around us.

Pastor Greg gives a special message about freedom on this Independence Day. He talks about how one moment with Jesus can change everything.

Pastor Greg continues week 6 of our Elijah series.

This week Nick and John trade dad jokes and talk about trusting God.

On this Father's Day weekend, Pastor Greg continues the story of Elijah, who meets with King Ahab after God’s victorious showdown with the prophets of Baal. Elijah acknowledges God and tells Ahab the rain is finally coming and says it is time to celebrate as God is faithful to fulfill His promises.
