Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBuilding a Life of Prayer: The Power of the Ask: Growing in Intercessory and Petitionary PrayerPrayer is mysterious. Jesus demystifies it by encouraging us simply to start praying. If we need something? Ask God for it. If we have a cry for justice, then shout it out. The newest part of this teaching by Jesus seems to be the shock that someone wouldn’t pray for their needs or the needs of others. What’s the difference? Jesus knows God as Father, a loving parent. Of course there’s room to bring all of our needs before that kind of God.2025-02-1040 min
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...2025-02-0331 min
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...2025-01-2738 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLove Your Neighbor Beyond Your Comfort Zone: Love Foreigners as You Love YourselvesAs we love our neighbors beyond our comfort zone, this includes neighbors who have recently arrived to our country. Scripture has a long witness of blessing the stranger in our midst and showing them hospitality - the goodness of God in practical ways. In the book of Leviticus it says, “do not mistreat foreigners living in your country, but treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love yourselves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” This invitation stands in contrast to the way we can vilify fore...2025-01-2032 min
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. Jesus had experience with that the...2025-01-1349 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLove Your Neighbor Beyond Your Comfort Zone: Loving New HavenIn Matthew 22, when asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”What does it look like to actually live out these commandments? More specifically, how can we love our neighbors here in NewHaven as ourselves? Join us this week as we begin our new series on loving our...2025-01-0641 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksSilence, Light, and Joy | An Advent Series: Good News for All PeopleIn Luke's account of the birth of Christ, an angelic herald proclaims to a group of shepherds "good news of great joy for all people." ECV exists to call all people to revolutionary lives of action through Spirit-empowered communities that love and obey Jesus Christ in all things. This week, we will consider this "all people" aspect of what it means to follow Jesus, and how it challenges us to live vulnerably, availably, and courageously to love and engage with people very different from ourselves as a way of life, that all people might also know and obey Jesus...2024-12-2328 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksSilence, Light, and Joy | An Advent Series: JoyJoy is a major theme of the Christmas story, and for good reason—Mary rejoices with her cousin Elizabeth as she carries Jesus in her womb, angels announce the birth of Jesus as "good news of great joy" to the shepherds outside Bethlehem, and the Magi rejoice "exceedingly with great joy" as they approach the place of Jesus' birth. And yet even in the joy, there is much sorrow and pain and loss—Simeon speaks of a sword piercing even Mary's soul, Mary and Joseph take Jesus and flee from Herod as refugees to Egypt, and Herod takes the life...2024-12-1628 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksSilence, Light, and Joy | An Advent Series: The Light of GodIt’s that time of year. It gets dark before 5pm. It can seem like darkness is all there is. While that is true for December in the northeast, that can also feel real for our souls. But what if we remember that anything can be illuminated by God’s light? This light brings about truth—revelation about what is so, grace—warmth and kindness from the one who has no shadow, and beauty—God’s light making ordinary things beautiful and marked by His power and presence.- Series Description -During Advent this year, we join beli...2024-12-0937 min
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. Join us this week, bring a friend, and learn to get quiet and make room for Jesus at the beginning of this not-so-quiet holiday season....2024-12-0240 min

With word and song, our physical bodies, attentiveness to God in ordinary moments, and offering our lives to God as a living sacrifice, we will finish out the liturgical year together in preparation for Advent and welcoming the coming of Jesus. Do join us, and bring a friend!- Series Description -...2024-11-2545 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWorship: WorshipWorship is more than music. It is a whole life surrender to God’s will. This kind of whole-life worship reshapes our lives to look radically different than the patterns of this world. This week, in the second installment of our teaching series on worship, we’ll be exploring what it means for us to lead fully submitted lives of worship, beyond our communal singing and our religious services, and what Scripture has to say about how this kind of whole-life worship can set us free.W- Series Description -Our Fall 2024 series started with heal...2024-11-1844 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWorship: WorshipDo we live slow enough to notice invitations from God to worship? We don’t ever start worshipping God ex nihilo, out of nothing. We join in. We respond to an invitation. During our short series on WORSHIP before Advent, we are taking time to see worship as more than music. Worship is the site of our noticing God and drawing near. Worship is obedience. Worship is the place we establish habits of spiritual formation. This Sunday, we’ll look at how noticing God is the beginning of this path and how God can help us overcome distraction, confusion, and...2024-11-1145 min

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEnemy Love: Calling in Our EnemiesDuring our series on Enemy Love, it may have been easy to wonder…but what about the Pharisees - the religious teachers that strongly oppose and eventually help kill Jesus? Jesus doesn’t seem too chummy with them. How is that love? Jesus does have a strange way of showing this group love. But by putting the pieces of our series together - creative engagement, proximity, and forgiveness, Jesus somehow manages to call his enemies in vs. cut them off. Come learn more on Sunday.- Series Description -If your sworn enemy asks you to love...2024-10-2745 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEnemy Love: Proximity Not OffenseIt can be easy to avoid our enemies, but it may be even easier to be offended by them. Jesus calls us to do something different: to love them. When we give up being offended, opportunities for love abound…even love that gets close. Jesus demonstrates this in his ministry. He gets close to people that his own community would consider enemies. When a tax collector shows up to see Jesus, Jesus doesn’t get offended by his swindling ways. Instead, he gets proximate in a surprising way. Come and learn more this Sunday. - Series Description -...2024-10-1431 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEnemy Love: Enemy LoveIf your sworn enemy asks you to love those who hurt you, you should run. If God asks the same, you should lean in and listen. Most people nod and agree with the teaching to love your neighbor — even if we don’t. But to love our enemies? Most laugh. Why love people who will hurt us? Why prioritize people who want to harm us? This seems foolish, unwise, even abusive. Yet, loving one’s enemies is the foundation of Jesus’ teaching…and his life. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Chr...2024-10-0746 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHealing: A Healed CityIn this fourth week of our teaching series on Healing, we’ll be looking at what scripture has to say about the healing of our cities. The brokenness in our connections to one another can be so easy to see in the city around us. But real hope for the healing of our city can be harder for us to grab hold of. Do we hope in our own striving? Or is our hope in Jesus, the wounded healer who loves our city and longs for its wholeness more than we do? This Sunday, Tina will walk us through wh...2024-09-2341 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHealing: A Healed HeartGod heals broken bodies. God heals troubling thoughts. But what about hearts? Broken hearts are not just the stuff of junior high drama. A broken heart steals our joy, robs our peace, and leads us to numbness. God isn’t only invested in our spiritual lives. God is invested in healing our hearts and emotions. We can ask God for full hearts in order to receive deep healing in our very emotional lives. God is near to the brokenhearted, he saves those crushed in Spirit.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHealing: A Healed MindGod desires an integrated healing for us — body, mind, emotions, communities, and the world around us. In the Gospels, Jesus heals bodies. Does he heal minds too? With our increasing awareness of anxiety, depression, and trauma, it would be great if Jesus’ healing was more than skin deep. This Sunday, we’ll talk about how God does heals us through meditating on truth, rejecting lies, and receiving freedom for a sound mind.- Series Description - God heals. We see this in scripture.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHealing: Healing the BodyGod heals. We see this in scripture. Jesus performs miracles and then his disciples do the same work of healing people from sickness and setting people free from dark forces. We see this in church history. Saints do healing work and communities rejoice. Hundreds of years later, do we see God’s healing in our lives? In our community? This Fall, we’re going to look at who Jesus is as a healer, but also what it means that God forms healing communities in and through us. This is healing for our bodies, minds, emotions, our cities, and our worl...2024-09-0245 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksGod is __!: God is Light!This week, for the final message of our summer series on the book of Ephesians, we will be looking at what it means to live as children of light. In a world like ours, with forces at play that are neither safe nor kind, it can be easy to keep parts of our lives hidden in the dark. But when we hide from God and from others, shame grows, and we become less of who we were made to be. This Sunday, we’ll look together at God’s invitation for us to bring everything into the light of Chri...2024-08-2634 min

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksGod is __!: A Living God Makes Us AliveWhen we look around, things aren't perfect, or even ideal.

But there's also a promise that something unexpected can come from what we see, and people can be made ALIVE.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHope in Heaven: Revolutionary Household CodesWhen Paul wrote to the church of Colassae, perhaps Paul wondered, “What if tomorrow, different households became faithful witnesses to the person of Jesus in all that they do? What would our world look like with multiple homes on fire with the Holy Spirit?” Paul’s ancient letter to the Colossians encourages the church of Colassae to dwell with Jesus’ teachings, clothing themselves with what they have received from God and encouraging them to practice this first in their household. This Sunday, Kim and all of us will be in wonder: How can we be faithful witnesses through mutual submission...2024-07-0121 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHope in Heaven: Seek the Kingdom, Live the KingdomWhen we look at the world around us, there is so much death. So many default ways of being and living that bring about harm, emptiness, something other than freedom. We see it in our individual lives, and we see it in the oppressive systems and structures all around us. And yet, Jesus invites us to live with our minds and hearts set on a different Way, a Way from above that is life and peace and freedom. How do we walk out this tension, as Jesus people in a decaying world? Paul’s ancient letter to the Colossians in...2024-06-2441 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHope in Heaven: Complete Not CaptivePaul’s letter to the Colossians urgently encourages the church in Colossae to remember their connection to Christ, where the fullness of God lives. Christ, the head of the Church. Christ, the one who aids God in reconciling all to Himself. Paul wants the Colossians to know that they are complete in Christ. Yet, many of them are living captive to deceptive philosophies and empty practices. A growing number were fascinated by a syncretic mix of following Jesus, rules from Judaism, gnostic religion, and “the elemental spirits of the universe.” They cheated themselves out of freedom in Christ. Instead of bei...2024-06-1738 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksHope in Heaven: Rootedness in Christ's SupremacyIn the first two weeks of our teaching series on the book of Colossians, we've explored the "hope laid up in heaven" (Col 1:5) that the gospel articulates, good news that "bears fruit" in the communities to which it has come all over the world. While Christ's supremacy has been "proclaimed to every creature under heaven," the rule and reign of God is not yet "all in all" (as 1 Cor 15:28 puts it), and Paul urges the Colossians to "continue...steadfast in the faith" (Col 1:23).In v. 24, Paul—who, after all, is writing from prison (4:3)—makes clear that his havi...2024-06-1055 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpty: Empty and FilledWe conclude our post-Easter teaching series, Empty, on the Sunday that concludes Eastertide in the church calendar: the feast of Pentecost. We've explored the idea that empty things-- like the empty tomb of Easter morning-- can be places of blessing. When we empty our schedules, wallets, resumés, beds and more to be present to God we can experience his life-giving abundance.Join us this Sunday when we'll empty out some of the time we typically devote to teaching to engage with the Lord and be filled with the Holy Spirit whose coming to the fledgling post-Resurrection c...2024-05-201h 10
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpty: Empty BedsJoin us this Sunday as we continue our Empty series. We will focus on the Empty Bed. Is it a site of restless anxiety or a place of reflection and peace? Sometimes, our culture's messaging on sex and our trust in God's goodness in this tender area of our lives determines whether we hide in shame or isolation or whether we open up this part of our lives to God and others. We become open not because our romantic life is perfect (whatever that would mean) but because we'd rather have a loving God speak to us—personally and co...2024-05-1354 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpty: Empty Teacups | The Power of Our WordsThe Bible talks a lot about power of the words that come out of our mouths.

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...2024-04-2939 min

Thankfully, Jesus has a list of accomplishments that are different than our own. They are freeing and completely free. Child. Reliant on God’s power. One who discerns the way of Jesus with him, not alone. This is the way to a life where we don’t withdraw from the world; instead, we remember who we are - God’s beloved, and continue in the path God has called us, empowered by the Spirit to deal with trial and challenge.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpty: Empty WalletsEmpty wallet. Empty bank account. How could those things have anything to do with resurrection? Jesus’ life giving advice on money isn’t go forth and chase “up and to the right” or “more, more, more.” Instead, Jesus’ path towards abundance goes once again through loss. Can we trust Jesus with our finances? Whatever our answer is, come and consider how following Jesus with our money can lead to flourishing.- Series Description -Following our Easter service exploring the power of the empty tomb, we will spend several weeks looking at how resurrection changes emptiness.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksResurrection & RedefinitionWhat’s a time you’ve had something redefined? Was it sudden or over time? Some of us have woken up with an ordinary understanding of some specific part of our life and by the time we went to sleep, everything was different. Others had that change happen over months, years, decades. This Easter, we remember that Jesus’ followers went through a whirlwind of emotions after Jesus’ death leading to his resurrection. Grief. Offense. Shock. Doubt. Belief. In the morning, the offense of someone robbing a grave gave way to myriad emotional responses when the empty tomb was revealed. How do w...2024-04-0120 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLoving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Longing for JubilieeWhat if tomorrow brought freedom to all people and the land? This was God's vision of Jubilee, a time when the Israelites were invited to take a break from harvesting every 50 years to let the land rest and enjoy the abundance God would provide. They were also called to free all enslaved people. This is the essence of Jubilee.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLoving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Living OpenheartedlyOver the past few weeks during this season of Lent, we’ve been spending time considering God’s heart for those who are materially poor. There is Gospel good news for all of us in this call to love the poor. And yet, we can so easily miss the good news altogether because we get entangled and distracted with other things, like wealth, and stability, and worry.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLoving the Poor Through Word and Deed: What's Love Got to do With It?Jesus’ famous last words dealt with being known by one’s love. What does love have to do with the poor, service, and justice? A lot, it turns out. Love isn’t just motivation to do work with and among the marginalized. Love is how we will be recognized as disciples, students of Jesus. On Sunday, we have the privilege of hearing someone who has walked this out in word and deed.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLoving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Expecting to See Jesus in the MarginalizedIn the famous parable of the sheep and the goats, both parties are surprised by Jesus’ connection with the poor — even the ones who have seen Jesus through their feeding, clothing, visiting, and compassionate service. Through our hearing of the story, we don’t have to be surprised anymore that we can see Jesus in the face of the poor. Instead, our compassion for the poor and marginalized can now become our worship of and encounter with Jesus. With that hope, we’ll go deeper on Sunday as we listen to stories from our community about encountering God through the marg...2024-02-2640 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksLoving the Poor Through Word and Deed: Who is the Poor?Who is “the poor”? What does that phrase even mean anyway? Throughout the Bible, that phrase is used to describe people God wants to remember, serve, include, and relieve. Yet, we often forget these people. During this Lenten season, we’re remembering this group and God’s call for us to serve the marginalized amongst us. In Matthew 25, Jesus has surprising news about who they are.

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksS I N: SinAfter exploring four weeks on hospitality, we will dive into one of the most contested topics when it comes to hosting others — SIN. Jesus was constantly accused of spending time with tax collectors and sinners, unsavory types. Religious experts thought Jesus minimized God’s law. Jesus wasn’t just full words and teaching on the matter either; he touched the untouchable who were thought to carry sin’s contagion. Our Sinless Savior wants to teach us a thing or two about how to view and engage sin, others’ and our own. Are we up for being learners?- Series D...2024-02-0546 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWarmed: Holy SpiritOur January teaching series on Hospitality has explored how we need to be hosted by God with the gifts of love, home, and family that God gives us and then give those gifts in turn to others. We conclude our series with the gift that makes all of those (and more) possible-- the gift of himself in the Holy Spirit. When Jesus, who welcomes sinners (Luke 15:2), ascends to heaven, he sends the Spirit to his followers whose growing numbers represent an ever-widening circle of those into whose hearts God's love has been poured by the Spirit (Rom 5:5), a "spirit...2024-01-2952 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWarmed: FamilyThe loneliness epidemic in our country impacts our city and our church. Even with people around us and in our lives, we can ask who is our family? Once we receive family, we have a choice. Do we hoard sacred and beloved relationships? Or do we connect other people to life-giving relationships and see that family grow. When we’re warmed, we provide warmth. That’s the hope. So, what does it mean that we have a God, who is a Loving Parent —one whom Jesus calls his “Heavenly Father.” Can we feast of this relationship and then minister family to...2024-01-2236 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksWarmed: HomeLast week, we kicked off our series, Warmed, by proclaiming and experiencing God’s love. Even though God’s love is abundant, we can act like it is as scarce as warmth in the winter. How can we show God’s warmth to others when we haven’t received it ourselves lately? We need to be hosted first by God with the gifts God gives us (love, home, family, and the Spirit). Then, we’re called to give those gifts away to the Church, neighbors, strangers, and enemies. This week, we’ll explore how God gives us the gift of home. Thr...2024-01-1533 min

When you finally get some warmth in the winter, sharing it is not so easy. Sometimes, we simply need to be warmed in order to share that warmth with others. This is often true for God’s lavish love and hospitality. How can we show God’s warmth to others when we haven’t lately received it ourselves?

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksExpecting a Bigger Story: HumilityWhen we think of humility, we often think about lowering ourselves and our self-worth so as to not seem prideful or arrogant. What if being humble is not about taking on a false worth but actually stepping into the fullness of who God created you to be? What does that mean in the scheme of God's bigger story that He is writing?

How can we still cling to the bigger story of our faith when we're not sure?

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksExpecting a Bigger Story: HopeIn Advent, we remember the anticipation of many who were looking forward to the birth of Jesus. In Advent, we also expect and look forward to the second coming of Jesus. Both parts of Advent help us expand our own story — it started well before us and it is connected to something beyond us. As we expect a bigger story than just our own, we grow in hope, we shake off doubt, we foster humility, and we learn just how central Jesus is to all of that. A few months ago, we began a journey learning about how our st...2023-12-0424 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpowered: Come, Holy SpiritLast week, we learned that “can I pray for you right now” is a helpful question to encourage real-time compassion, discipleship, and service to others. This week, we’ll engage “come Holy Spirit” as a powerful prayer to call on the Spirit’s power. This is an ancient prayer that has its roots in the disciples waiting on the Spirit at Pentecost before the Spirit fills them all and leads them to new and deepened connection with God. This Sunday, Mike Turrgiano, a Vineyard pastor from NYC with four decades of experience, will teach us more about asking for God’s Spirit...2023-11-2747 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpowered: Can I Pray for You Right Now?In the last few weeks, we proclaimed that spiritual gifts like prophecy and healing are from God and are meant to build up the Body. We also demonstrated this through some practical exercises around these gifts that have yielded some good stories. Praise God! Our Empowered series continues looking at how any number of these spiritual gifts operate in the real world by asking this simple question: Can I pray for you right now? This question is a favorite of the Vineyard, and we see its roots in how much of Jesus’ ministry results in immediate interaction where prayer is...2023-11-2045 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpowered: Healing"...and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal..." (Luke 9:2)The accounts of Jesus's public life and ministry in the gospels of the New Testament can be roughly divided between stories of Jesus's healing ministry, his teaching and dialogue with disciples, crowds, and religious leaders, and the extended narrative of his arrest and crucifixion.The gospels make abundantly clear that Jesus spends *a lot* of time healing people and commissions his followers to do the same.Indeed, there may not be a more straightforward example of the good news of the "...2023-11-1353 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpowered: The Way of Love, The Way of ProphecyAfter one of the most famous passages on love ever written, Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians says, “follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.” Huh? What do love, spiritual gifts, and prophecy have to do with one another? This Sunday, we will explore how prophecy is relevant today — not as a plot to a convoluted superhero movie, but for the building up of communities in love — inside and outside the Church.- Series Description -Empowered is a practical sermon series on how Jesus’ work to bring the...2023-11-0641 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksEmpowered: The Holy Spirit is NearLast week, we looked at how Jesus invites us to Kingdom ministry alongside Him. We took a risk and sent out a few folks to pray for others on the green during service to see what God would do and got to hear testimonies of how God showed up. This week, Andy Saperstein will look at how Jesus and Elijah were able to notice and act upon the shouts and whispers of God both in season and out of season.- Series Description -Empowered is a practical sermon series on how Jesus’ work to br...2023-10-2939 min

It is Jesus’ Kingdom, but we are all invited to pray in the power of the Holy Spirit to see it change our lives, the lives of people around us, our neighborhoods, and beyond. - Series Description -Empowered is a practical sermon series on how Je...2023-10-2341 min

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksThe Power of Our Stories: The Power of Expecting God to Work in and Through CommunityAs we’ve looked at our stories over the last few weeks, it’d be easy to see our stories as purely individual affairs connected to the person of God. After all, it’s my story! Right? Well, there is a power in stories not being only our own. Our stories are impacted and influenced by others. Our stories flourish in community. Many of our best stories include invitations from others, interruptions by others, and real risks and vulnerability to connect with one another —even folks less familiar to us. This helps us do something together that we cannot do on ou...2023-10-0939 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksThe Power of Our Stories: The Power of Suffering Righteously in Your StoryHow do you live out a story of worship even when wronged? This isn’t just the story of Jesus; it’s our story. It might not be a surprise to learn that our way of responding is different than Jesus’ way. Jesus was wronged repeatedly. And yet, he still chooses love. Learning the story of this kind of suffering might not be attractive, especially when we know that Jesus was killed for this kind of love. However, Jesus’ love and his suffering have a greater story of outlasting the wrong. Come on Sunday to hear more!- Series...2023-10-0245 min
Elm City Vineyard Church TalksThe Power of Our Stories: Moses | The Story of Our CallingWhat is your calling? This simple question can begin existential crises. Who am I, we ask? What if, however, our calling is less who we are and more what we find we cannot stop doing over the long haul. In good seasons, in bad seasons. Looking at our calling through the lens of our story, we can find patterns, habits, and rhymes that help us understand the call God has on our lives. Through the bigger story of God, we learn we’re all God’s children. That’s the foundation. Through God’s work in our stories, we can find...2023-09-2538 min

Elm City Vineyard Church TalksBe Not Afraid: When God invites us deeper into His StoryGod wants us to know that we do not have to fear. Whether it’s simply how harsh life can be or whether it’s opportunities God speaks to us about it, the fear we face can come either way. Today, Josh will explore both of those scenarios — the fears of life and the fear that comes when God invites us deeper into His story. After all, we have a story where fear can lose its volume as we grow and mature even if our fears change over time, shifting to stop the growth God has for us. As we con...2023-07-1742 min
