The Catechism further unpacks the communion of saints and shows us how the Church lives in communion with those members who have passed on to eternal life with Christ in heaven.

This is your family, interceding on your behalf that you might receive the fullness of Faith here on earth. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 954-962. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Colossians: The People of God in the Age of Empire – Naming the Empire (Colossians 2:6-15) - Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard  Summary: In this powerful and provocative sermon, Pastor Donnell Wyche continues the Colossians: The People of God in the Age of Empire series by exploring Colossians 2:6–15 and what it means to be faithful to Christ in a world shaped by empire. Drawing from Paul's letter to a fledgling church in Colossae, Donnell frames the passage as a deeply subversive text—one that directly confronts the ideologies, powers, and allegiances of the surrounding Roman empire. For Paul, and for us today, to declare that Christ—not Caesar, not the economy, not nationalism—is Lord, is to resist the false narratives that shape our lives and identities. Pastor Donnell draws sharp connections between Paul's world and our own, exposing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways empire exerts its influence today—from militarism and economic control to curated media narratives and Christian celebrity culture. He names modern forces—TikTok, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, Warner Bros, and even popular pastors—not to shame, but to awaken the church to how deeply these forces shape our desires, fears, and theology. “Don't be taken captive,” Paul warns, and Pastor Donnell echoes that call with urgency, reminding us that resistance starts by rooting ourselves in Christ, not in power, performance, or fear. The sermon crescendos with a bold declaration: Jesus, crucified by empire, disarmed the powers not with violence, but through the cross. Pastor Donnell invites the weary, the skeptical, and the disillusioned to see Jesus clearly—not as a tool of empire, but as the one who triumphs by love, truth, and resurrection. “Empire doesn't get the last word,” he proclaims, “Jesus does.” The call to the church is clear: Wake up. Resist. Stay rooted in Christ. And when overwhelmed by the noise of the world, pray the simple prayer of resistance: “Jesus, free me from the voices that hold me captive. Root me in you again.”  

One more message in the “One Anothers” series. We return to James 5 (see March 2 sermon) and this time focus on “pray for one another.”

Colossians: The People of God in the Age of Empire – The Unco-opted Christ (Colossians 1:15-20) - Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard  Summary: In this opening message of our new series on Colossians, Pastor Donnell Wyche invites us into a powerful re-centering of our lives around the crucified Christ. Preaching from Colossians 1:15–20, he reminds us that in the midst of empire, cultural pressures, and leadership failures, Paul does not begin with fear or anxiety but with a bold proclamation: Christ is the image of the invisible God, the one who holds all things together. Pastor Donnell challenges us to see worship not as private devotion but as public resistance — an act of allegiance to a kingdom that values humility, peace, and sacrificial love over the power, dominance, and platform of empire. Drawing on rich historical context and vivid contemporary parallels, Pastor Donnell names how empire continues to shape our world through fear, fragmentation, and injustice. Yet in a world that feels unstable and disillusioned, Christ invites us to a different imagination — one rooted not in scarcity but in abundance, not in domination but in reconciliation. He reminds us that Christ's death was not a defeat but the planting of a seed that bursts into new creation, calling us to participate in God's ongoing work of healing, resistance, and restoration. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Donnell gently yet boldly calls us to faithful resistance: to make Christ, not empire, the center of our lives; to embody peace, generosity, and mercy in a world hungry for hope; and to trust that even in the ruins, Christ is making all things new. As we contend with grief, fear, and low trust, we are invited to breathe deeply, to anchor ourselves in Christ's sustaining love, and to live as witnesses to a kingdom that does not co-opt or conquer, but sets us free.

As we continue our discussion of "The Gospel and the Gathering," in this, part 3, we discuss:1. Who are the People of God? 2. God does not see as man sees. 3. The only people who are the people of God are sinners.4. Love is the clearest evidence of who the people of God are. 5. The Ekklesia is supposed to be a gathering of these people.

God draws people to himself and makes them his own. The Catechism shows us what makes God's people different from everyone else, and what it is that unites them. Fr. Mike hones in on what exactly it is that the People of God do, and exhorts us to start doing that right here, today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 781-786.

The focus in our "One Anothers" series today is to encourage one another with Jesus' resurrection and return.

In this exploration of grief and renewal, we dive into the book of Nehemiah, uncovering God's wisdom for processing loss as people of faith. Nehemiah's heartbreak over Jerusalem's destruction becomes a mirror for our own experiences of pain and sorrow. We learn that grief is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one that can draw us closer to God's heart. This message challenges us to sit with our sorrow, to weep openly, and to bring our raw emotions before God in prayer and fasting. This biblical pattern of grieving reminds us that it's okay to be vulnerable and that our tears can be a powerful testimony to what truly matters to God. As we navigate our seasons of loss, be encouraged to seek not only closure but also divine comfort that strengthens our souls, enabling us to step into our calling even amidst pain. This message speaks to anyone grappling with heartache, offering hope that our Comforter, Jesus Christ, binds up our broken hearts and walks with us on the path of renewal.

In our “One Anothers” series, looking at “one another” lines in the New Testament, today's message is about why and how we pursue peace and mutual edification.

The Mission of God through the People of God | Acts 8:1-8

Hebrews 8:8-10 // To be one of God's people means not just professing faith but being transformed by the New Covenant, where God writes His law on believers' hearts, empowers their obedience through His Spirit, and secures their eternal life with Him.Anchor of the Soul // Michael Crosswhite

We're in a series called “One Anothers,” looking at a few of the “one another” lines in the New Testament. Today's message is about why and how we practice confessing our sins to one another.

Good News from God's Messenger Mark: Finding Our Life in Christ

We're in a series called “One Anothers,” looking at a few of the “one another” lines in the New Testament. Today's message is about why singing matters to our growth in Christ.

In this sermon, Dr. Roger L. Smith emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus Christ. Referencing John 17:6-8, he explains that Jesus’ revelation of God to humanity is the ultimate testament to God's love and plan for salvation. Dr. Smith argues that true faith lies in receiving and believing God's word, as demonstrated by the disciples whose faith, though imperfect, was celebrated by Jesus. He reassures listeners that even a small amount of genuine faith is enough for God, who views us through the lens of grace and sees the transformative work He is doing in our lives. The sermon concludes with a call to prioritize faith in Jesus above all else, for it is through Him that we find eternal life and the forgiveness of sins.
