What are you consuming? Whether we realize it or not, what we consume impacts the way we live our lives. When life squeezes us like a sponge, what we have been taking in will inevitably pour out. Filling ourselves up with more of Jesus will pour out more blessing and servitude into the lives of others. Pastor Matt preaches from the account of Nicodemus, told in the Gospel of John. In essence, we learn three things: Believe, Receive, Become. We believe we need something we don’t have, receive something we cannot buy, and become children of God. All freely given to us by Jesus Christ.

We have spent the summer on a journey through the Gospel of John. In this final installment we dive into John’s reflection on Jesus’ death and resurrection. With his own eyes John saw Jesus willingly die and triumphantly rise again. These events are the cornerstone of our faith. God gave up his son that we may have life. Our debt has been paid, death has been defeated, and now we have the opportunity to live in relationship with our creator. Lean in as Pastor Matt Smith walks us through John’s account of these powerful moments.

Jesus knew difficult days were ahead. His first follower would have their faith in him pushed to the edge. So he leverages these final moments to preach to them and pray for them. Jesus prayed for his disciples and the ones who would believe in him through their testimony. In other words, Jesus prayed for US! Because he knew it would be just as challenging for us to remain faithful as it was for them. This prayer revealed Jesus's heart and hope for his church so that all people would come to believe and trust in him. The message from Vintage Church this week unpacks what Jesus prayed for you and me.
