Westminster Vineyard

Launching a new three-week series titled "Ferment," Pastor Scott Engebretson uses the biological process of winemaking as a metaphor for spiritual growth in the New Year. Drawing from Alan Kreider's The Patient Ferment of the Early Church, Scott explores the "invisible yeast" of God's Kingdom—a bubbling energy that works from the inside out. Looking at Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana in John 2:1-11, he highlights the tension between the mundane habits of the "process" and the "profound" moments of the miraculous. Scott challenges the congregation to embrace simple acts of obedience—filling, drawing, and taking—as the seedbed for God to do something new in 2026.
