Vineyard Church Of Hopkinton

Starting a new series and beginning by looking at Ephesians 6:10-18 on the armor of God. God gives us the tools we need to stand firm in the face of opposition. What are those tools? Peace. Truth. Salvation. The Word of God.

Jacob has a surprising encounter with God and is transformed. His focus goes from grabbing to generosity. What can we learn about being transformed worshippers of God from this story?

Each family has a legacy, a history and a set of patterns. God wants to bring blessing and healing to broken patterns. What can we learn from this family about how God wants to bring healing and how God still works in spite of our mistakes.

This is from our series, Origins: God's Grace in Genesis. Joshua Chestnut, a leader in the church, spoke on the story from Genesis 22 of God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. What can we learn about God from this? How can we learn from Abraham what it looks like to be entrusted by God?

Let's talk about the story of Hagar: A servant/slave in the middle of a dysfunctional relationship who is seen by God and names God. It's a story that reminds us that normative behavior isn't always godly and God loves to show up in the midst of our suffering with gifts of love and dignity.

How can we respond to the promises of God with faith? Abraham and Sarah (Gen. 18) were way too old to have kids and yet God promised. Their reactions, what God did and what they learned give us a lesson in faith.

This is from our series, Origins: God's Grace in Genesis. Rob Davis, founding pastor, is speaking on Abraham and asking, "How can we have faith like Abraham?"

This is from our Advent Series, Waiting for Christmas. Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is speaking on the way that Jesus came to be one of us on Christmas. John 1:1-14 tells us this wonderful mystery was hinted at since the beginning, that God would become one of us.

The Old and New Testament words for Peace mean complete or whole. So when Jesus said he was giving us peace, it meant that he was making us complete. How do we embrace this gift and allow him to come and move in our lives?

Micah 7:1-20 tells us that we, as followers of Jesus, wait for God to do what he has promised. We don't wait for what we want, we wait for what God wants (which is always better). How do we learn to wait for the promises of God?

Hope in the Bible isn't vague or abstract, it's rooted in the person and character of Jesus. And it's deeply connected to how we wait. How do we, as the church, remain healthy as a people who are called to wait?

Moriah Felder, pastor from Elm City Vineyard in New Haven, CT, is speaking on the Sabbath. How do we learn to rest (and work) like Jesus?

One of the most obvious habits that Jesus had was prayer. Jesus was always praying! How do we grow healthy prayer habits in our lives? How do we pray for others like Jesus did?

This is from our series Who Would Jesus Be (WWJB). Mike Turrigiano, guest speaker, is talking about the relational dance between us and the Holy Spirit.

This is from our series Who Would Jesus Be (WWJB). Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is speaking about joy. What does the character of Jesus (and his first miracle) show us about joy?

Jesus is merciful, which we see in the story of the woman caught in adultery from John 8. What does the character of Jesus show us about mercy? What are the limits of the mercy of God? And who needs mercy?

Acts 11:19-30 tells the story of the church in Antioch. Healthy churches are filled with healthy people who are using their influence wisely. Sharing Jesus in the places they are sent. Creating space at the table. And living in ways that raise the level of spiritual health for those around them.

The church in Corinth was messy, but so is any growing community! How do we learn to live united as the body of Christ, not in spite of our differences but because we have differences?

Rob Davis, Founding Pastor, is speaking from Acts 19:1-16 and Ephesians 1:22-23 on what it looks like to be the church, a church filled with the Holy Spirit.

Stephen Watson, co-lead pastor, is looking at the story of the church in Philippi from Acts 15 and 16 and talking about the types of relationships we are supposed to have as followers of Jesus from Philippians 4:1-3.
