River City Vineyard - TeachingsSwept into Hypocrisy-Scott TjernagelPaul returns to Antioch certain that he is on the right track in announcing the Kingdom of God to the Gentiles and asking them to simply believe in Jesus with nothing else added. Peter helps assure Paul of his ministry. All is good until Peter comes for a visit. Sadly Peter is followed by others who disagree with the decision reached in Jerusalem. For this Judaizer group Faith in Jesus for the Gentiles must include obedience to the Jewish law of circumcision. Peter is so intimidated By this group he draws back from the Gentiles and is swept into...2020-08-3022 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsHow to Face an Uncertain Time- Scott TjernagelFor fourteen years Paul announced the Good News of the Kingdom to Gentiles in Syria and Cilicia. Throughout that time he had a lingering uncertainty. He expressed that uncertainty in this question: “Am I running or have I run this race in vain?”What did he do with this uncertainty? How can we learn from Paul as we face our uncertain time?2020-08-2324 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsIntroducing Groups of Three- Scott TjernagelWe are not the first lovers of God to face difficult circumstances. Those who love God have quite the history of facing slavery, forced labor, pompous emperors, fiery furnaces, global famine, and even execution by the state. How did our ancestors face their trials? What can we learn from them?2020-08-0224 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsBe Reconciled to God- Scott TjernagelWho is going to step up to the work of reconciliation in our generation? Reconciliation is long overdue making the challenges even harder. But, who regardless of the difficulty is going to do the heavy lifting? 2020-07-2621 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsServants of Reconciliation- Scott TjernagelWe all need reconciliation with God and with one another. The need for reconciliation continues in our nation. It is hard work to reconcile. It takes a lot of time. Yet, there is nothing like being reconciled. Who are the servants of reconciliation in our generation?2020-07-1917 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsStereotypes and Doing Reconciliation- Scott TjernagelStereotypes get in the way of reconciliation. Paul confesses to formerly judging Jesus, the Messiah, wrongly because of a stereotype. Setting stereotypes aside and seeing through new eyes is a big step toward reconciliation.2020-07-1220 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsThe Focused Center of Reconciliation-Scott TjernagelFor those who follow Jesus, the cross and resurrection are the focused center for reconciliation. We are all regardless of our diversity on level ground. As one translation reads, “We are all in the same boat.” Because of the work of Jesus reconciliation can and must happen.2020-07-0521 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsWhy Do Reconciliation- Scott TjernagelIn these challenging days I feel somewhat helpless in the pandemic. I can continue to pass along safety measures from our Public Health department, but I cannot do much more. I also think the same about our economic downturn and the record unemployment. Apart from encouraging our community to contribute so our mercy ministries are fully funded to help when help is requested, I can’t do much. The third challenge is the social unrest and I think we can work with this one. We can learn to do reconciliation and take steps forward being reconciled to God and to...2020-06-2923 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsAim To Cheerfully Please God- Scott TjernagelHow do we keep our focus when our circumstances include a pandemic, record unemployment, heartless brutality toward Black Americans by some police, all at the same time, and in just four months?2020-06-2113 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsA Prosperous Community- Scott Tjernagel2020-06-0727 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsStop Grieving the Holy Spirit- Scott TjernagelIt is Pentecost Sunday. We wait for the Holy Spirit to fill us so we can be an effective witness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Thousands in our generation need to hear an empowered witness like Peter on the first Pentecost. Is there anything about the Church today that would cause the Holy Spirit to delay our empowerment? 2020-05-3128 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsSuper Spreaders- Scott TjernagelWhat an irony to call the Church a super spreader event. On the one hand, yes, we are as long as we are spreading healing and life and truth. But when we foolishly spread an illness and death and conspiracy theories, no we are not and never meant to be. How can we be the super spreader event we are meant to be in light of our current crisis? 2020-05-1721 minRiver City Vineyard - Teachings"Open Texas"...Our Path Forward-Scott TjernagelThe Stay at Home order has ended. The Governor has announced the Open Texas Plan.What is our path forward as a community following Jesus? 2020-05-0319 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsBright Light and a Darkening Horizon- Scott TjernagelJesus is a bright light shining in a dark world. We live in the tension between his light and our darkness. The global pandemic with almost 3 million human beings infected and almost 200,000 dead in 3 months is a reminder of our darkness. Along with the dark cloud of the pandemic, there is another storm cloud on the horizon, economic recession or possibly depression. This economic downturn is a second reminder of our darkness. And at the same time Jesus remains a bright light in the darkness. How do we keep his light burning in our darkness?2020-04-1920 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsProfound Disappointment and the Empty Tomb- Scott TjernagelThe has been the most unique Celebration of Resurrection in my lifetime. While we cannot change the circumstances, we can change our vantage point. When we reread the Gospel stories from a different vantage point, we discover we have more in common with the first Easter Sunday this year than ever before. And just in case this is not a comfort to you, remember this unchanging, fantastic, mind-blowing fact, Jesus is alive, risen from the dead!2020-04-1216 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsShelter in Place and Holy Week- Scott TjernagelWe begin a very unique Holy Week this morning. It is Pam Sunday and there will be no parade today. No large crowds. No loud Hosannas. We will celebrate Palm Sunday at home with our family. How different is that? And then again maybe this provides for us a new vantage point. We can reread the story and see something new from a new view. We will see things that we’ve overlooked in past celebrations when we focused on the large public gatherings and the loud shouts of hallelujahs. Enjoy the view.2020-04-0522 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsThe Bridge Over Troubled Waters- Scott TjernagelFor the past two weeks and all the sudden changes to our lives due to the very real threat of COVID-19, I have heard Simon and Garfunkel’s classic song, Bridge Over Troubled Water, on auto-play as the background to my many thoughts. The lyrics of the song raise so many good questions for this troubling time. Who will wipe the tears from our eyes? Who will protect us? Who would lay their life down for us? Who is our bridge over troubled waters?2020-03-2917 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsA Fear Not Faith- Scott TjernagelA crisis exposes our faith.

"Not our will," but his be done every day.2019-09-3036 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsWhat is Our Message?-Scott TjernagelSometimes we reduce the Good News.

It's a mystery how grief which feels like death expands the soul and brings new birth.2019-06-0226 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsA Season of Disorientation- Scott TjernagelAs we walk through grief our lament leads us into a confusing in-between time. This is a season of disorientation. We have many questions, but few answers. It seems that God has abandoned us. The beginning of this Podcast failed to record. A listener may want to start by reading Psalm 13 and then proceed with the Podcast.2019-05-2616 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsLife Shaped by Grief- Scott TjernagelPeter Scazzero writes, "In emotionally healthy churches, people embrace grief as a way to become more like God." Our community is traveling through an unusual season of grief and at the same time we are focused on a life shaped by God.

He definitely uses our family in that shaping. 2019-05-0626 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsWhat to Expect When We Tell Others of Our Risen King- Scott TjernagelThe empty tomb is " too much...too good to be true." A dead body resting in a tomb raised from the dead overwhelms all our rationalistic circuits. Even the first followers of Jesus at first did not believe the report. They seemed to move from unbelief to disbelief into full belief. So what can we expect from ourselves as we read the Gospel accounts of Jesus raised from the dead? What can we expect from others when we share the story of the empty tomb and invite them to follow the Risen King?2019-04-2116 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsZacchaeus and Palm Sunday- Scott TjernagelAs Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem, Luke seems to develop the story of Jesus entering the city. Maybe Zacchaeus, a man who wanted to see Jesus, is one bookend with Jesus weeping over the city that did not want to see Jesus as the second bookend with the triumphal entry in between with disciples praising God for all the works of power they had seen. It all seems to be intentionally tied together which makes one wonder if Zacchaeus continued to follow Jesus to Jerusalem in order to join the praise of...2019-04-1421 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsReceiving Extended Patience- Scott TjernagelWe are caught between the ages, the present age and the age to come. Jesus inaugurated the future age, but it is not yet here in its fullness. We taste of the powers of the age to come, but we wait for the full spread.

That patience is available at the Table of our Lord.2019-03-3126 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsCome to the Table for Forgiveness- Scott TjernagelWe all need to receive forgiveness for ourselves and extend forgiveness to others.

In the confrontation Jesus begins to tell story in order to get his point across to the opposition. The Parable of the Wicked Tenants comes right to the point: surely the tenant farmers will respect the son, but what if they reject him? What will the owner of the vineyard do?2018-06-0327 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsThe Curse of Fruitlessness- Scott TjernagelThere is only one miracle when Jesus curses something.

Do we see everything clearly?2018-04-1538 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsThe Glorification of Jesus- Scott TjernagelThe road to greatness for Jesus and those who follow him is paved with service to others not being served, a refusal not to lord over others or to tyrannize them, and a willingness to give up of one's life for the sake of others. Who will get in on Jesus' glorious Kingdom rule as soon as possible?2018-04-0824 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsResurrection Sunday- Scott TjernagelWhat has Jesus done in his death and resurrection?

2018-03-1828 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsEntering the Kingdom- Scott TjernagelJesus announced the arrival of the Kingdom of God everywhere he went. He also demonstrated the arrival of that Kingdom by healing the sick or by setting people free from demonic oppression or by multiplying food of silencing a storm.

Have we accepted the Kingdom?2018-03-1125 minRiver City Vineyard - TeachingsHow to Attain New Creation-Scott TjernagelMark 10:1-12
