In his book "Postmodern Pilgrims," Dr. Leonard Sweet offers a vision for the 21st century church that engages both the church's traditions and its need for innovation. He calls for a faith that is both ancient and future, historical and contemporary. While he reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), he wonders how the church, the body of Christ, can give a compelling and imaginative witness to Jesus today. In this sermon series, we will explore what Sweet calls the "EPIC" church: Experiential, Participatory, Imagistic, and Communal.

Send us a text In this Village Sermon podcast, Pastor Daniel returns from vacation and shares why he believes people should seriously consider committing to the Village Church for the year. He explains the importance of belonging, first to God, and then to one another. Part of being connected to a church, he says, is agreeing to communicate that shared belonging in Christ to each other. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

The Apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans in chapter 3, verse 23 that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” It's true. We are all sinners and in need of God's forgiveness and grace. Early Christians began to group sins together and by the 6th century, a list of seven sins had emerged. They were called the “seven deadly sins” because they lead to death. Others called them the “cardinal sins” or “capital vices” because they were the worst of the sins. In this series, each of our pastors will explore one of the deadly sins even as we give thanks for God's grace that frees us from sin. Today's scripture reading is Galatians 5:13-21.

Every summer has a soundtrack. There's a big hit or there's an album that gets worn out on the beach or on the road that becomes the soundtrack of the summer. Nothing says summer quite like a summer playlist. It sets the tone for all the sights and sounds of summer days and summer nights. This summer, we're going to look at the most famous playlist ever assembled, the book of Psalms. You might think of Psalms as just another book in the Bible, but to the people of ancient Israel, this was their go to playlist, their songbook, their favorite album for every season.
