The Vineyard Church Maryville podcast is an incredible resource that I stumbled upon while searching for sermons on iTunes. As a member of a different church, I was initially hesitant to engage with this podcast, but the quality of the sermons and the energy they exude pulled me in. This podcast has made accessing sermons so much easier, and I find that I can connect with the message better through audio rather than reading them on the website.
One of the best aspects of The Vineyard Church Maryville podcast is the great message it delivers. The sermons are full of thought-provoking content that challenges listeners to dig deeper and truly engage with their faith. It is refreshing to find a podcast in evangelicalism today that encourages critical thinking and doesn't shy away from addressing tough issues. The speakers bring a great level of energy and passion, making each sermon engaging and impactful.
Moreover, the accessibility of this podcast is commendable. With just a few clicks on iTunes, anyone can access these sermons from anywhere at any time. This convenience allows individuals like myself who may not be able to physically attend the church to still benefit from its teachings. Whether it's during a morning commute or while relaxing at home, having this podcast readily available ensures that spiritual nourishment is accessible whenever needed.
On the downside, one aspect that could be improved upon is providing more context about certain points discussed in the sermons. While the speakers do an excellent job overall, there were moments when additional explanation or background information would have been beneficial. This would help those who may not have prior knowledge or familiarity with certain theological concepts to fully grasp and engage with the sermon more effectively.
In conclusion, The Vineyard Church Maryville podcast is an absolute gem for anyone seeking uplifting and thought-provoking sermons. Its accessibility through platforms like iTunes makes it convenient for listeners to engage no matter where they are. Despite some minor areas for improvement, the overall quality of the sermons and the energy they bring are truly commendable. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a spiritual boost and a fresh perspective on their faith journey.
Should we be expecting a rapture? Is the rapture theory new or old? Do all Christians expect a rapture? Is it a test of orthodoxy, or something less than that?
As it turns out, "hardly working" is actually a tougher path than "working hard." Faithful, diligent work isn't just about paying bills, it's about stepping into something core to our humanity, and contributing to something larger than ourselves.

The Trellis of Fasting: A Hunger for Justice
Paul gave the early church his whole heart without losing his head--and that's the key to why he had more influence than almost anyone who ever lived. While people all around us are panicking and catastrophizing, can we do the same? Can we love without reservation, while holding on to our principles, values and best thinking?
In telling the Thessalonians why he can be trusted, Paul gives us an ideal set of tests for who we should trust in our lives (and how we can be trustworthy ourselves).

Trellis, Scripture from August 2024
How studying Scripture can be transformational, even if you're not close to being a bible nerd!
Ezekiel 47 describes a vision of water flowing from the temple of God, which begins small but grows into a mighty river bringing life to whatever it touches.

True life—the kind that builds, multiplies, and sustains—doesn't come from taking what seems good in our own eyes, but from trusting the God who gives life generously and abundantly. In a world of competing voices and scarcity, the real question is whether we will use our power to preserve our own lives by taking life that isn't ours, or wait for God to give more of what He's already given—using the life we have to lift up and preserve those whose lives are failing: the weak, the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed—rather than securing our own life at their expense.
Anyone who truly knows Jesus wants everyone to truly know Jesus. So how do we help people know Jesus? We live our lives like one big giant Show & Tell.

Giving and Generosity are spiritual practices taught consistently throughout the entire Bible as a way to worship, thank, acknowledge and trust God.
A sermon about sound boards, regulating emotions, honest people who lie to themselves, and how unfiltered prayers might just save the day.
Why did Jesus have to die? Why is the resurrection such a big deal?
Work is not a curse… but it has been cursed. How do we find joy and meaning in our vocation with all these pesky thorns and thistles?
In this message I'll be contrasting the actions of the youngest son and the jealousy of oldest son, while highlighting the loving response of the father to each of his sons to ultimately show that the Father's love toward us is greater than our rebellion against him.
Even after we are saved, our choices in this life will impact our eternity. We want to know that our salvation is real, our motives are true, and we are fueled by gratitude instead of fear. A simple image from scripture reveals how.

Jesus radically redefined what family looked like in God's Kingdom and established a precedent for the early church and all future generations to follow.
The church is a school, but it's not centered around classrooms, or lectures... and there are no stupid questions. Let's consider what enrollment in the school of Jesus looks like.
John Wimber said the church must be a hospital, a school, a family and an army. This week we consider the church as a hospital--why it's so close to the heart of Jesus, and why it's a value we can easily lose sight of.
