Vineyard Church Greater Portland Sunday Talks

Week 1 of our series Jesus Change- Stories of Transformation focuses on a man named Matthew. Jesus transformed him from being excluded by his community to embraced by Jesus and accepted into his circle of friends, the disciples!

What does it look like to live real life in the present? So often we can wish our past was different and we can be filled with anxiety about the future but God asks us to live now in the present with Him! Join us in this latest Podcast from our Sunday celebration service as we explore living life in the present with God while celebrating the past and being hopeful about the future.

Faith and Sight Part 2 is the second talk from our 2-part series. In this talk we build on the idea of living by faith and connecting that with idea of our faith motivating us to take risks! We are joined by Ethan Bennett who shares with us his family story of risk which included making the decision to start his own general contracting business. Risk verifies trust! If we are not risking anything for Jesus we must ask ourselves, "how much are we really trusting?" We hope you are inspired by this talk to live by faith, trust Jesus and let that trust motivate you to take risks for Him! Enjoy!

Faith and Sight Part 1 explores the relationship between living by faith and living by sight. We cannot do both at the same time. Sight does not require faith and faith cannot be exercised if we rely on our sight. Paul exhorts the church in Corinth to live by faith and not by sight. What does a life look like when we walk by sight? What does a life look like when we walk by faith? Why can't we live a life by sight? Why does Paul and Jesus require us to live a life by faith? Find out the aswer to those questions and more in our latest talk from our Sunday morning celebration!

Jesus has called us into a life of compassion. Join us as this third and final talk focuses on the consequence of leading a compassionate life. This topic is seen and explained through Jesus' story of "The Lost Son". What are the consequences of leading this kind of life? How do we understand the compassionate heart of God and what it has done for us so that we can in turn become more compassionate human beings toward others. We have the privilege and honor of cultivating a life of compassion with Jesus and possessing a life of compassion through Jesus so that others can understand how compassionate, gracious and merciful God truly is. Join us for our next celebration service Sunday at 10A.

Compassion- The Cost is the second talk in a 3 part series where we tackle the idea and concept of living and leading a compassionate life. In this talk we focus on the cost of compassion. What will it cost us? Is it worth it? Are we willing to pay it? Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan completely redefines for us what a life of compassion should look like and how much it will cost. Join us for this second talk in the three part series focused on compassion and join us next Sunday at 10AM for our next celebration service in which we will conclude this series on Compassion.

This is the final talk in the "Being Built Together" series. In this talk we explore what being built together means for us eternally! What is the future reality for a community that is being built together? When we decide to participate in the process of being built together as people who follow Jesus there are a couple things that are guaranteed to us in eternity! Join us and listen! Find out what those are in our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service.
