Elm City Vineyard Church TalksThe Work Of Christmas: Fight For PeaceDuring Advent we remember that the babe in the manger is the Prince of Peace – the one who will one day bring an end to all war and discord in us and in the world. Among the Lord’s last words to his disciples before his death are these: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (John 14:27 NASB). And after his resurrection, he greets his disciples on multiple occasions, “Peace be with you.” Yet when we survey the state of the world, the state of our relationships, or the state of our own hearts, we of...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksJubilee: Resistance to JubileeJubilee sounds nice at first – Sabbath rest, freedom, and the expansive favor of God. But Jubilee also costs us something and inevitably brings offense. The favor of Jubilee extends to our enemies and threatens our sense of the portion of God’s grace appointed for us – more for them might be less for us. At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry he is received with great favor, but that favor quickly turns to resistance when the offense of Jubilee becomes clear. In the end, the year of God’s favor is greater than we could ever have imagined. Come this Sunday, an...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBeing the Church: Lessons from the Book of Acts : Works of Power and the Progress of the GospelThroughout the Book of Acts we find accounts of how God speaks and acts in miraculous ways, even as the Apostles and the early church act with wisdom and boldness to bear witness to the death and resurrection of Jesus. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit are normative in the pages of Acts, ever intertwined with considered action, bold preaching, and the willingness to suffer to bring the witness of the Gospel from the villages of Galilee to the imperial capital at Rome.Come out this week and bring a friend to hear a talk entitled “Wo...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBeing the Church: Lessons from the Book of Acts : The Whole Church for the Whole WorldThe Book of Acts tells the story of the birth of the church and its remarkable expansion in the early decades of its existence. Central to that story is the crucial encounter between the Apostle Peter, an observant Jewish man, and Cornelius, a respected Gentile military officer, and his family. Through this encounter, the fledgling church-- and our church, too-- learns that faith in Jesus is not merely for Jewish people but for people of all nations who call on God in faith. Come out this week and bring a friend to hear more about "The Whole Church for...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBeing the Church: Lessons from the Book of Acts: The Power and Beauty of PentecostFew narratives in the Bible describe an event as impactful as the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2. At Pentecost we see the birth of the church, the reversal of the divisions of Babel (Gen 11), the breaking down of ethnic and linguistic barriers, the ingathering of thousands to faith in Jesus, the radical generosity of the early believers, and a foretaste of all the church is called to be through the ages. Bring a friend and join us this Sunday as we invite the Spirit's filling to direct and empower our life as...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBeing the Church: Lessons from the Book of Acts: You Shall Be My Witnesses: The Power of Solemn TestimonyIn this first week of the “Being the Church” series, Andy Saperstein considers what it means to bear witness to our faith in the world among friends and family, neighbors, strangers and enemies alike. In the early verses of Acts, Jesus declares that once the Spirit has fallen on the church, we will be his witnesses both near and far, from our own homes to the ends of the earth, as we fulfill our identity and calling as the people of God. To have a genuine encounter with Jesus and to be filled with the Holy Spirit qualifies us to b...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWe Have Seen the Lord: Faith & BeliefIn this third part of the “We Have Seen the Lord” series, we will consider the striking encounter between Thomas, often labeled “Doubting Thomas,” and Jesus, where Thomas in the end affirms his deep and real faith in Jesus as Lord and God. This week we are all invited to consider what it means to embrace faith in Jesus without the physical scars of the risen Christ before us to see and to touch, based instead on the witness of the Scriptures, of believers through the ages, and of the Holy Spirit in our own lives and hearts.- Seri...

The words Jesus speaks to Mary in her grief and bewilderment 2000 years ago continue to reverberate for all of us today, and will serve as the title for this week’s sermon: “Why are you crying?” and “Who are you looking for?” Join us this Sunday as we too seek to encounter the risen Lord in our own tears and searchings, whatever they...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksConviction & Embrace: Practicing Conviction in CommunityAs we finish out the Conviction and Embrace series, we will consider what it means to practice conviction in community. What kind of people must we seek to become if we are to speak words of conviction wisely and winsomely into one another’s lives? How can we avoid the pitfalls on the one hand of never speaking words of challenge to one another, and on the other hand of doing so in harsh and unredemptive ways that lack all humility and self-awareness? Thankfully, the Scriptures have much to say to help us find our way, so bring a fr...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBuilding a Life of Prayer: Foundations of a Godward Life: Listening PrayerAs we begin a four-week series entitled “Building a Life of Prayer,” we will focus on one of the stones in the foundation – listening prayer. By listening prayer, we mean a quiet and settled godward orientation where we hold ourselves open before God, free of striving, settled and attentive, seeking both to encounter and to receive from God, even when we remain silent. For God is alive and does not merely passively listen to our words of prayer but actively communicates to us through both his word and his Spirit, if only we have ears to hear. Join us this w...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLove Your Neighbor Beyond Your Comfort Zone: The Cost of Following Jesus and Loving the Wrong NeighborsAt the beginning of his ministry, Jesus was attacked by an angry mob simply for speaking well of the enemies of his own people, and he later taught that God would bless us when people hated and mistreated us on his account. Elsewhere, the Scriptures guarantee that to be faithful to Jesus and to love those he loves will often put us at odds with others, and often with our own people. This week we will consider how Christians around the world and throughout history have experienced persecution and opposition not only for their faith in Jesus, but for...

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLove Your Neighbor Beyond Your Comfort Zone: Neighboring Those Behind BarsWhat does it mean to proclaim liberty to the captives? How can we neighbor people that are locked up? When it comes to loving incarcerated people, we have to be intentional to even see folks who are often invisible to us. Yet, in a city like New Haven, many of drive past a correctional center regularly to get to our work, homes, our home groups. Of course, even more people are trying to re-enter society and need support. Thankfully, God has a special place for criminals, those held in detention, jail, or prison.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksSilence, Light, and Joy | An Advent Series: SilenceOn this first Sunday of Advent and of the liturgical year, we reflect on how Jesus was born to humble people in quiet village places, and not in a great city or to the rich and powerful. In our own time, too, it is in humility and quietness that we are invited to encounter Jesus and to receive from him the one true life, so often revealed in whispers and not shouts.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpty: Empty ContactsWhen we come to Jesus, we are not only joined to him, but to his people—to his household. In the way of Jesus, our identity as members of his household takes precedence over all other memberships and identities, and, humanly speaking, becomes the locus of all our other relationships. To continue the “Empty” series, this week’s sermon will be called “Resetting our Relational Center: Emptying Ourselves to Make Room for a New Community." Our guest speaker, Andy Saperstein, will help us explore some of the graces, challenges, and adventures we encounter as we make room to live out our id...

Many of us are content to stick with what we know, our old things, and our old way of doing things. This was the case with the 1st century Jewish believers; they were being tempted to return to their old way of life. Jesus, however, had offered a new way of relating to God – a way to bring them into closer relationship with God. That way is available to us today too!
