Vineyard Community Church

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.

In this new sermon series, we will be looking at how each one of us are responsible for the climate we bring into our relationships and interactions we have with people throughout the day. What is the impact we have on others when it comes to their experience with the Kingdom of God through us?

Thomas Dickson will use three examples from the Bible of characters who failed to give God the glory He deserves. Using these stories, we will see a pattern of how pride can lead to the downfall of a person when we fail to give God the glory He deserves.

As we end this series, Kristen Fitterer teaches how we can learn from Jesus by loving and restoring dignity to those around us who feel unseen, on the sidelines of life, or overwhelmed by all that life throws our way.

Kim Richardson continues our series titled, "Rooted in Christ"  on the mission of reconciliation by looking at how we can love others like Jesus loves them. Kim teaches how we can become intentional on restoring dignity and treating all people equal in the same way Jesus loves us.
