Vintage Grace's Podcast

The Church operates like a battleship where every believer is called to recognize their role and live on mission for Christ. We carry out this mission by being disciples who make disciples as we devote ourselves to 3 key relationships in our lives (R3). When each of these relationships is lived out, we grow as disciples who make disciples (E1H1). Weekly we gather, in order to be scattered and live SENT. As we scatter, we are united through Christ, living on mission in our pray-watch communities so that the Gospel may flow through us to reach the yet-to-believe with the Gospel.

"We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of Christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed hope, motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service and energetic mission"

The Church is God’s Plan A for glorifying His name and spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Each person who is a part of the body has a unique and important role in order for the Church to carry out its mission. Through the body we experience Communitas as we share in a special community together on mission. This Communitas sharpens, transforms, and helps us grow deeper in our relationship with God. Further, the Communitas we experience fuels us to live on mission as together we are the living proof of a loving God.

Jesus died so we would experience life in His kingdom. We must surrender our lives not only to the King, but also to the SPIRIT, as He guides us in exploring and experiencing (#JoyInJesus) Kingdom/Garden living.

The cross deals with our sin and reconciles us to God, which means we are new creations in Christ.  Now with a new perspective, we live out of the overflow of His Spirit on a mission to reach the world with the Gospel.

Jesus Christ came incarnate as the perfect image of God, both fully God and fully man. His invitation to us is to get off the throne of our hearts, surrender, and follow Him. Jesus offers us the good life that is found only in Him. When we surrender to Christ, we experience His life-giving power and our new mission and purpose to live SENT for His Kingdom.

God speaks to us, trains us, and makes us capable through His word.

Sin is ALWAYS destructive and ultimately results in death and separation from God. We live in a world that tells us to trust, believe and rely on ourselves. However, God’s Word tells us we are inherently Desperate & Dependent at our deepest core. Recognition of our weakness and the sickness of sin inside of us leads us to joyfully get off the throne of our hearts.

The way we think about God determines everything about the way we live. How we understand God's character and nature will shape how we spend our time, talent, and treasure. What we believe God does or does not value will shape what we value in our lives as well. The story of creation and of our lives is ultimately about God and His glory.
