Ottawa Valley Vineyard Sermons

We need more of the Spirit in our lives. In conflict, in everything. Ahren talks about how that comes about -  and what it means to have more of the Spirit as a whole, rather than approaching it like isolated 'gifts' or 'fruit'.

Heaven and Earth are only 3 feet apart, but in thin places that distance is even shorter - Celtic Saying How close is God? How does he reveal himself? Vince shared this past Sunday on how God does this, and how we experience it.

"The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne" Revelation 3:21 How do we as Christians "conquer"? Ahren spoke this week on the weapons of spiritual warfare that Christians use in conquering the enemy's strongholds.

Looking at one of our core values - valuing the supernatural, well explained. Christians can get culturally whacky about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Ahren discusses the value and practice of walking in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit, without being fake. For more on our core values, visit: http://ovv.ca/who-we-are/story-beliefs

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

The person of Jesus unites us, and is the greatest need in our society today.

Finding the balance between meeting as a community worshiping together, and going out in to the world to spread the gospel. Something that has been held in tension for centuries in which our community and the church in North America are no different!

Continuing our look at the adventure the Christian life is - what was Jesus' attitude to those who were 'lost'? How did He reach out to them? What is His will for the church living this out today?

Doug shares wisdom in His journey of coming in to relationship with Christ, and how to hear Jesus in relationship with Him.
