Bay Vineyard Sermon Audio

Jen Harvey encourages us to be a people that passionately worship God! Sung worship has always been a key part of the Christian faith, and Jen unpacks why.

Guest speaker Mark Johnson shares on the tenderness of God, exploring Mathew chapters 11 and 12.

If we all carry varying levels of grief, and we continue to accrue losses until we ourselves die, then how can we do that in a wise way? What does the bible say about navigating losses? What does Jesus model? How can we process our grief well?

We're in a fight! There have always been three enemies of the soul: the world, the flesh and the devil. But we don't have to rely on willpower to overcome; empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can live a life that sees us flourish.

Hospitality is not just about knitting together the fabric of our church community but is how we can be intentionally missional with our neighbours. Jay Pathak, national director for the Vineyard in the USA, encourages us to be intentional about knowing and loving our actual neighbours!

What are some of the barriers we may need to overcome as we seek to build a lifestyle of hospitality? Ryan Kaarsemaker shares five barriers, and how we can get over these hurdles to live out what biblical hospitality is all about.

Community and hospitality can be messy and risky, and yet when we accept the reality of community, we will grow in our love for one another and see Community as the antidote to Loneliness. Charlotte explores Jesus' invitation to live a life of love by building an intentional community

Sam begins our series on Hospitality, exploring how it reflects the heart of the Kingdom, how the Kingdom comes, and is the hope of the Kingdom!

Sam unpacks how the politics of God must take precedence over our earthly politics. He encourages us to have a Kingdom vision for the issues that we are passionate about. The talk on Politics and the Sanctity of life can be watched here: https://youtu.be/9T121kgNLBQ?si=e2oScVASA-NYb9Ti

Joseph McAuley explores how, in light of the tension we live in of the already/not yet kingdom, we engage with politics.

Sam Harvey finishes our series exploring the book of Philippians. In this closing passage, Paul exhorts the church in Philippi to be intentional about what they think about and encourages the church with his example of contentment.

Dealing with conflict, living in joy, and how to find God's peace! Charlotte dives into some of Paul's closing thoughts in his letter to the church in Philippi.

Luke unpacks Philippians 3:12-4:1. Paul sets an amazing example, running his race with passion and living as a 'friend of the cross'. Paul's encouragement is that we should join together and imitate this pattern.

Paul says that everything is garbage compared to knowing Christ Jesus. Sam explores Paul's exhortation to "know" Christ and to orientate our life around Him!

Jen Harvey explores how we can "work out our Salvation". As we seek to imitate Christ, Paul highlights to the Philippians some specific ways we can live in a way that "shines like stars".

This passage is at the heart of Paul's letter to the Philippians. In it, Paul points to Jesus through a stunning Hymn, which has all sorts of implications for us today. Ryan Kaarsmaker brilliantly unpacks this passage.

Paul invites the church in Philippi "to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ". This is connected to sharing the sufferings of Jesus. We explore what that means for us in our context.

Paul demonstrates a remarkable ability to view his circumstances from a divine perspective. In this passage, we see Paul encourage the church in Philippi as he shares his perspective on his challenges.

We begin our series new series working our way through the book of Philippians. Paul encourages this church, celebrating their partnership in the gospel, and calling them to allow God to continue to deeply transform their lives.

As we finish our "true treasure" series, we look at the importance of a grateful heart for all that God has given us.
