The Bible is full of beautiful, descriptive, rich, and wonderful truths! It also has some rather… odd… stories than by themselves leave readers with more questions than answers. Passages which on the surface standout as being weird, funny, confusing, or all of the above. This series dives into some of those unique stories to help us mine for the Truth within the curious. Today we look at the story of seven brothers who have a unique encounter with a man possessed by a demon.  Text: Acts 19:11-20Come visit us in person!

Text: Esther 9-10Esther is perhaps the most unique and controversial books in all of the Bible. It's one of only two books named after women. It is full of moral failure, ambiguity, and less-than-savory heroes. And it never mentions the name of God once. Yet it is an important book that tells an important piece of God's redemptive history.

Drawing from Exodus 33:7–23, Pastor Christian explores Moses' pursuit of God's presence and his bold request to see God's glory.

Pastor Christian brings the next message in our series, Holy Ground, where we have been reflecting on the life of Moses. Our scripture reference is Exodus 32:7-35.We hope you were blessed by this message! Visit our website for more information about Grove City Vineyard.

We tell a true story of feeling stranded and anxious in a strange city, then watch God provide in a way that points straight to kingdom culture and belonging. We connect “It Is Well” faith to shalom, covenant, and Jesus' authority over chaos so perseverance does not cost us our peace. • Shifting the goal from preparing to suffer to persevering while still pursuing peace • The Aaronic blessing as a covenant framework for security, favor, grace, presence and peace • Shalom defined as wholeness and right standing with God, including the insight that shalom can read as “it is well” • Why peace is not the absence of chaos but security through it, from Noah to Job to Jonah • Sea and dragon imagery as a biblical picture of chaos and the enemy's strategy • Jesus calming the storm and walking on water as authority over chaos and revelation of divine identity • Revelation's ending as the final defeat of chaos, where the sea is no more • Prayer, communion, and the new covenant as the ground of our peace in Christ

We wrestle with miracles, unanswered prayers, and the kind of perseverance that forges real faith when life hurts. • Inheriting a legacy of prayer across generations • Refusing the idea that hardship always means secret sin or weak faith • Paul's thorn and God's answer that grace is sufficient • Redefining faith as loyal allegiance that holds under pressure • Job as a test of endurance and integrity with our lips • Faith forged like gold through trials and refining • Church history examples of perseverance under persecution and illness • Miscarriage, grief, and the shock of gratitude in suffering • Perseverance as a group project and a warning against suffering in silence • Expectation as hope that waits and acts differently • Rejecting entitlement that assumes God is withholding good • tThe Holy Spirit interceding when we do not know how to pray • “It Is Well With My Soul” as a picture of steady trust

Pastor Christian teaches that following Jesus isn't about fighting for your personal rights, but willingly laying them down for the sake of others, choosing what builds people up rather than what simply benefits you. True Christian maturity shifts the question from “Am I allowed to do this?” to “Is this helpful and loving for others?”—modeling the selfless way of Jesus. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

Did you know that April 15 marks Eastgate's 31st birthday? Last year at a staff meeting, we talked about how amazed we were that our little church community had reached 30 years. Now here we are, a year later, celebrating 31.Instead of throwing a big party, we realized we would rather invest our energy into the people and ministries that make this community what it is.Over the past year, we launched a podcast to share more about who we are and to talk about things we do not always have time for on a Sunday morning. We created our first ever VBS program from scratch and served over 30 children. We began weekly financial support for Pastor Christian and the Spanish speaking ministry he leads. We also opened a new Eastgate location in the Fountain and Marianna area called Eastgate North, led by Julie Gjendem and her husband Trond. We also continued many of the quiet, faithful practices that shape who we are. Our weekly donations to the Panama City Rescue Mission continued. Our meal train ministry kept bringing meals to families welcoming babies or walking through illness. Men's gatherings, women's gatherings, young adult meetings, and small groups all carried on. We trained and hired our teens to help care for children during special events, inviting them into responsibility and service. I have been part of this community for all 31 years, and I am continually in awe of what God has done through this imperfect, generous group of people. That brings us to this Sunday's scripture. Jesus will be teaching about what to do when people in a community face internal struggles. The truth is that a healthy community is made up of people, and wherever there are people, there will be conflict. This Sunday we will read Matthew 18:15 to 35. The first part of the teaching helps us see that conflict is not only normal, but that there are wise and loving ways to address it. How might learning to handle conflict well actually strengthen a community rather than weaken it?We invite you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM as we study this scripture together and reflect on what it means to cultivate community.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Pastor Christian taught from Romans that the gospel brings unity by leveling everyone—Jew and Gentile alike—reminding us that all have sinned, all need grace, and no one stands above another in God's family. Following Jesus means loving like He loved—choosing forgiveness, humility, and community—because the gospel produces real love and unity, making us one family in Christ. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

On this snowy day, we are grateful to share a recorded sermon on the command of Jesus that is often neglected by Christians: not to worry. Let's examine Matthew 6:25-34 for guidance from Pastor Christian.We hope you were blessed by this message! Visit our website for more information about Grove City Vineyard.

We're kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God's kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon's rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God's kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we're building with our lives.

The Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to live extraordinary lives for God.
