Vineyard Kc Weekend Messages

In this series, 'The Way', we are learning about the launch and creation of the early Church. The disciples receive the Holy Spirit during Pentecost, and are boldly empowered to spread the Gospel of Jesus to those around them. People in the city are drawn in, and the disciples speak to all of them in their native languages, giving powerful testimony of the great things God has done.

This week, Pastor Greg begins a new series, The Way. Because Jesus is the Way, the truth, and the life, followers of Jesus in the beginning were known as ‘followers of “The Way.”’ Jesus appeared multiple times after His death to let His followers know He was alive, showing He had conquered death once and for all. We learn how the early church began, and how the apostles were given the task of spreading the message of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

This week, Pastor Greg wraps up our Elijah series.

We are in to 2 Kings as Pastor Greg continues week 9 of our Elijah series. We learn the story of Ahaziah, King Ahab's son, who is the new king after Ahab has died. When Ahaziah has a serious injury, instead of running to God, he runs to to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, making the same mistakes his father made. God appoints Elijah to confront the messengers Ahaziah sends to give them the word God gives him on whether he will recover or not.

Today we hear the story of King Ahab, who wants Naboth's vineyard, but when he doesn’t get it, his wife Jezebel plans a corrupt and dishonest scheme to get it for him. Pastor Greg talks about being faithful to God where we are. Our tendency when a door opens is to walk through it. But not every opportunity is an opportunity we are meant to step through. We have to stop viewing the world solely through the lens of self and learn to be content with what God has blessed us with.

We are in week 7 of our Elijah series. Pastor Greg talks about Elijah passing on the mantle to Elisha, who is working in his family's field and must leave behind his place of wealth, position and comfort. But we learn it is not about what God asks us to walk away from, but what He is calling us to walk towards to fulfill our calling. God's plan is so much better than our own, and no matter our circumstance or position, He calls us to be a blessing to those around us.

Pastor Greg gives a special message about freedom on this Independence Day. He talks about how one moment with Jesus can change everything.

Pastor Greg continues week 6 of our Elijah series.

This week Nick and John trade dad jokes and talk about trusting God.

On this Father's Day weekend, Pastor Greg continues the story of Elijah, who meets with King Ahab after God’s victorious showdown with the prophets of Baal. Elijah acknowledges God and tells Ahab the rain is finally coming and says it is time to celebrate as God is faithful to fulfill His promises.

Thie week the Double Take crew decides what is true and what is not. JK. But we do talk about the truth.

Pastor Greg continues the story of Elijah's journey. This week he talks about the great showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. God shows up in a powerful way, proving to Israel once again that He is the one true God, calling Israel to turn their hearts back to Him.

This week Nick and John discuss what it means to "Go Scared".

This is week 3 of our Elijah series. And Pastor Greg explains that when we look for physical fixes to our spiritual problems, we come up empty. The only true fix is the spirit of God being planted in our lives. We learn from Elijah that a life dedicated to God requires continual obedience, in every season, not just momentary obedience.

Can God handle your problems? This week the Double Take crew dives into pastor Greg's message about Elijah and his journey to Zarephath.

Pastor Greg continues week 2 of our "Elijah" series. Elijah's previous season of provision and preparation in the "cut off place" has come to an end; God moves him in to a new season of provision in enemy territory. We learn that the trajectory of our lives depends on how we respond to what God is speaking to us. Will we be obedient and step in to the place and purpose God has for us?

Our new Senior Pastor Greg Hartmann begins his new series about Elijah, a man from an unknown place with an unknown background, that God used in a powerful way. He explains how God can use US in powerful ways if we just say "yes" to Him, but we have to be willing to go to the "cut off" place where we disconnect from the world and all its noise and distractions and be willing to spend time with God to hear His voice.

This week the Double Take crew gets to know each other a little better and talk about what we're supposed to do when we encounter God.

Curt Bartlett wraps up this series and talks about entering into God's presence. He describes the "thin places" where heaven meets earth and how we can experience God's presence there. When we sin, he encourages us to run to God instead of hide from Him, because God will always show us His mercy and grace when we draw near to Him.

This week the Double-Take crew are talking about rest, sleep, and stress.
