June 23, 2025 | Reading through Philippians 3:7-14, Dakota Tucker asks whether Jesus alone is truly enough. This passage of scripture calls believers to examine their perspective and pursuit of Christ, showing that knowing Him is worth more than anything else. Paul's example challenges us to seek Jesus above all—to know His power, share in His sufferings, and be transformed by His life.

June 16, 2025 | Daniel Harris reminds us that Jesus came for everyone—Jews, Gentiles, and especially the broken. Jesus seeks those who know they need healing, not those who think they're already whole. Just as Christ welcomes all, we're called to do the same—and to remember that He welcomes us, too.For more information about The Vue, visit www.bellevue.org/college.

April 28, 2025 | Daniel Harris walks through how to identify fake love from friends versus the real love God has for us. A true friend rejects jealousy, offers help even at personal cost, speaks honestly, and reflects Christ-like love. Real love is selfless, sacrificial, and rooted in truth.

April 21, 2025 | Jason Pyron speaks on how real love shows up in how we treat others. Jesus taught that loving God and loving our neighbor are inseparable. True faith isn't just belief—it's love in action. Scripture shows that love fulfills the law, builds others up, and reflects God's very nature. If we say we love God but neglect those around us, we're missing the point. Who is God asking you to love better—family, friends, classmates, even enemies?For more information about The Vue, visit www.bellevue.org/college.

This morning we are honored to have Josh Smith from College Ministries of VA. Josh looks at faith and authority from Mark 9:14-29, where Jesus heals a boy possessed by an evil spirit. This passage challenges us to examine our own beliefs and the source of our spiritual power. We're reminded that true faith isn't about our abilities, but about connecting with and relying on Jesus. The disciples' failure to heal the boy serves as a stark reminder that even those closest to Jesus can falter when they lose sight of the true source of their power. This story encourages us to humble ourselves, recognizing that it's not our own strength or reputation that brings about change, but the authority of Christ working through us. As we reflect on this, we're called to examine our own lives: Are we trying to be the hero of our own story, or are we allowing Jesus to take center stage? This message urges us to seek a deeper connection with God through prayer and to approach our spiritual journey with humility and dependence on Christ.If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out!If you want to talk to someone about going deeper in your faith or starting to walk with Jesus on a daily basis, please reach out to us at office@graceva.com

Josh Hudson preaches on living in exile from Jeremiah 29.

The best time for college retreats seemed to be at the beginning of Christmas break and return from that trip the day before Christmas. Was it successful yes... for several years. Was it worth it? For the students yes.... for my family who was very gracious to me? No. Why? Because all things in Jesus name are not necessarily the best thing to do. That sounds wild right? We did eventually move these trips to fall during spring breaks, but you have to use at least 2 different spring break weeks to cover a lot of the students since they were not always at the same time. The beauty of the Rocky mountains was always amazing! But... I had not yet learned the one rule, in which I will repeat over and over again for your sakes as leaders... and for you and your families health. ”You MUST say NO to something BEFORE you say YES to something else." FYI... That NO should be to some other equal project, ministry, or hobby that takes time from your family and health. All around health is important! Peter Drucker, the Father of  Modern Business and mentor taught Pastor Rick Warren that specific truth. He would always say, “Rick... Tell me what you gave up before you tell me what you are doing next." A few things... It was the best time to get college students enthused and signed up. It was a beautiful time of the year to hit the slopes. Students came from all over the United States and that enthused the local students. The Gospel was shared and souls were saved. What would I do differently now? I would never go at Christmas time. That time should have been reserved for my wife, children, and their memories. I would have moved it to every other year and not every year. _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource? You can read my book “Burn Up Not Out: A Student Ministry Fire Builder's Guidebook” here: https://amzn.to/3PtBTIy Listen to more episodes from the Youth Worker On Fire Podcast here: https://bit.ly/3saDyYq _______________________________ EPISODE CREDITS Email us at: youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Hosted by: Doug Edwards Theme Song: "The One and Only" by The 808 : Listen to more at https://bit.ly/3FTYIAJ Intro/Outro Voiceover: Michael Helms : https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelTheSoundGuy  Edited by: Secret Roots Music House

February 17, 2025 | Reading through Exodus 32-34, Daniel Harris talks about how Israel's idol worship came from impatience and anxiety, while Moses stayed faithful through prayer and accountability. God rewarded Moses with His presence and glory; so we should also be patient and trust God's timing. Through endurance and faithfulness to God, we will be blessed just like Moses.For more information about The Vue, visit www.bellevue.org/college.

Why are the daughters of Zelophehad significant? What do they teach us about God's heart/character? In today's episode, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark college student Sam Curtis as they discuss God's response to the financial insecurity of Zelophehad's daughters and His kindness in protecting them.   Additional Scripture Referenced: Hebrews 3:3 – “For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.” Hebrews 7:25 – “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 4:15-16 – “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  Interested in Watermark's College Ministry?

February 10, 2025 | Teaching from Exodus 14, Dakota Tucker reminds us to stand firm with the Lord because He knows what's best for us. Just like how God delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt, God has a plan for us.

November 18, 2024 | Daniel Harris addresses the difference between what is "religious" versus what is "spiritual".

Are we so caught up in the "religious" aspects of following certain rules and customs that we forget to talk to God through the Holy Spirit?For more information about The Vue, visit www.bellevue.org/college.
