Branches Vineyard Church

Life Group season is back. This week we talk about WHY these communities and Branches are so important. Listen and learn how we are designed to be and are much more effective when we go through life together.

The world teaches us to want more. To seek contentment in many different things that take our attention away from a relationship with God. Today we look at what contentment looks like as we are transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit.

We're kicking off our important, summer series called "Summer Lovin'." Listen this week as Tom explains why it is important to be transformed into God's likeness rather than being conformed to the world's standards (just think about an apple on a stick).

Happy Father's Day! This week we take a look at what it is to be a man by considering the example of Jesus' father, Joseph. We are challenged to follow the example we have to move into who we are created to be.

Following Christ is a change of thinking. It's a transformation of who we are and how we understand the world.

You'll find this changes how we view others in our world and enables us to love as God loves.

We aren't designed to do this alone. We are meant to be together in relationship with our God. Unfortunately, we can be our own barrier to realizing what God has for us. Join us in this episode and be challenged to see your opportunity for more in the context of The Kingdom of God.

This week we take a look at our faith and consider how a struggle to have faith stands between where we are and moving into what God in mind for us. Take a listen. I believe you'll be inspired to take your next step of faith in obedience to how the Holy Spirit guides you.

Understanding why the church exists and why it exists at all is the first great barrier to our success. Join us in this important series calling our attention to our opportunity to participate in the work of the Kingdom of God.

This message might make you laugh, feel uncomfortable, or both. BUT, what is important is recognizing we were meant for lives of open relationships with our God and our world. Our God of reconciliation is at work to remove our shame.
