Vineyard Assembly of God

Change is an inevitable fact of life and a necessary part of every Christian's life.  Yet, we often resist change.  We fight it.  We pray against it.  But God's greatest and deepest work within us is accomplished through change.  In this message, Pastor Matt shares from the Bible Three Lessons About Change that will encourage, challenge, and strengthen your walk of faith with Jesus Christ.

The miracle of Christmas is the fulfillment of this prophecy that Jesus would be born from a virgin.  The Bible's teaching on this miracle is a challenge to human unbelief and rebellion as it immediately puts us in the position of having to decide whether or not to believe the message of Jesus.  Ultimately, if we will not believe what the Bible tells us about Jesus, we cannot have faith in Jesus.

The first prophecy about Jesus' birth was given by God Himself at the dawn of human history.  In this message, Pastor Matt takes a look at this amazing prophecy and how it promised total victory over Satan on the day of humanity's greatest failure and defeat!

We are influenced by many different relationships at any given point in our lives - sometimes positively, sometimes negatively.  When the influence is negative we tend to lock ourselves into a "victim mentality" which cripples our ability to follow Jesus and serve God at our greatest capacity.  In this passage, we're reminded that the only relationship that really matters, that really makes a difference is the relationship between God and You!

Life has its difficulties and sometimes those difficulties take the form of traumatic events.  Christians are not immunized against experiencing traumatic events in their lives, yet when they come, they test our faith - because we expect God to somehow protect us from the traumatic events.  Instead, the Bible teaches that in this fallen world, traumas will happen but God is there to help us, heal us, and grow us IF we remain faithful.

Persecution, both "soft" and "hard" presents Christians with special challenges and temptations regarding their faithfulness to Jesus.  The Bible warns Christians that "everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted," therefore, persecution is not something that Christians should neglect to prepare themselves for.  In this message, Pastor Matt explains the three main temptations that persecution will bring that will test the faithfulness of every Christian.

In one way or another EVERY Christian will fail Jesus and fail themselves at some time in their lives.  The good news is that when we fail we don't have to end in failure IF we remain faithful to Jesus.  In this message, we take a look at King David in the Bible - a man who failed catastrophically but who ended in great success!
