Discover the transformative power of joyful giving in this inspiring message on becoming a cheerful giver. Learn how to shift your perspective from seeing giving as an obligation to experiencing it as a joyful privilege. Based on 2 Corinthians 9:7, this message explores the Greek word 'hilaros' (the root of our English word 'hilarity') and how God desires us to give with genuine delight. Uncover the three keys to developing a cheerful giving attitude: understanding giving as a seed rather than a debt, adopting a 'triple P perspective' (Personal, Pensive, and Passionate giving), and embracing God's 'all-ability' to provide abundantly. This message challenges common misconceptions about generosity and reveals how God's economy works - where generosity multiplies capacity not to get more for ourselves, but to give more to others. Perfect for anyone struggling with mixed motivations in giving or seeking to experience more joy in their generosity. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned Christian, this message offers practical wisdom for cultivating a heart that gives cheerfully. Discover how generosity creates a beautiful circle of joy and thanksgiving that brings glory to God.
Title: Revelation 13 — The Dragon, the Beast, and the Call to EndureDescription: Revelation 13 pulls back the curtain on spiritual warfare. John shows us the dragon (Satan) and his helpers—the beast of persecution, the false prophet of deception, and Babylon's seduction. These powers demand worship, but the church is called to endure in faith and worship the Lamb.In this sermon, Pastor Timothy unpacks the mark of the beast, Nero and Rome as historical types, and how these symbols continue in modern forms of power, false religion, and cultural idolatry. More importantly, we see how believers overcome: by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and not loving life even unto death.This is not a puzzle for tomorrow—it's a word for today. Stand firm, stay faithful, and live marked by Christ.

Pastoral, practical, and full of pastoral wisdom — a sermon to help you build habits that actually shape your soul.
Here's what makes unholy desire a trap
We were reminded today: ⚠️ LUST IS A SCAM. It baits you, promises to fulfill you, but always ends ugly. And if you think lust only applies to sexual desires, think again. Lust can be an uncontrolled desire of pleasure, possession, power or pride.
The news shook us this week, but also woke us up. Now is not the time to let fear hold us back. Instead, let it be a call to live boldly in truth. To love truth more than comfort. To live consecrated in a world that wants compromise. To shine as light when culture embraces darkness. This is the cost of truth, but it's also the call of every believer. Lord, give us courage to stand, even when it costs.
You know this: what you feed grows stronger
Pastor Timothy asks; What does it look like to live a zealous “not going through the motions,” worshipful life?!

Title: Witness & Woes: Revelation 8–11 — Bitter Warnings, Sweet Gospel, Faithful WitnessesDescription: Revelation 8–11 gives us three powerful movements: the trumpets (warning judgments that call the world to repentance), the little scroll (the sweet gospel that also brings bitter cost), and the two witnesses (the church's courageous testimony in a hostile world). In this message, Pastor Timothy shows how God uses partial judgments to awaken hearts, how the church must “eat the scroll” and speak, and how faithful witnesses may be opposed now but will be vindicated when the seventh trumpet sounds and Christ's kingdom is revealed.Key Scriptures: Revelation 8–11; Joel 2; Luke 10:18–19; John 10:10; Matthew 16:18Takeaways:Choose brokenness over bitterness—God's warnings are mercies meant to lead to repentance.Eat the gospel, expect the cost, and speak anyway.Wait, War, Witness until Jesus returns.Join us next Sunday at 10am (Vintage Church, Lodi).

Sevens: Prayer, Trumpets, and Warning Mercy (Revelation 8:1–6) Revelation aims at faithfulness today.

One moment of extravagant worship can shift heaven and change history. Mary broke her jar, pouring costly oil in love. The demon-oppressed man bowed in surrender and was set free. Both worshipped beyond their limits and reached for a limitless God. One extravagant act. Heaven responds with extravagance. Will you pour it all out?

When was the last time your worship cost you something? True worship isn't casual, it's costly. It's not about what's convenient. It's about what He's worth. Not for our gain, but for His glory. Love moves us beyond the expected. And when we give Him our all, we step into destiny. Let your worship be wild. Costly. Real. Because He is your exceedingly great reward

It starts from the inside out, and contains what your soul truly seeks: peace and alignment with God. Will you live on empty, or thrive on His overflow?

Prayer is strength under submission, admitting we can't, but God can. Thank you to every father who has poured out in prayer. We are blessed and covered because you pray!
