Flowing directly from Paul’s call to be a living sacrifice and make sure our LOVE is genuine in our relationships with one another, even extending to our enemies, he now tells us to submit to civil authorities.De către Vintage Grace

Since the beginning of time the enemy & the world has tried to distract & drown out the voice of the Good Shepherd. We need to have hearts that hear & trust His voice if we want to experience the abundant life. His voice is not just for our salvation but also for His future flock. #HarvestIsPlentiful…

How do we, those whose lives are founded in our experience of God’s mercy, whose minds are being renewed, how do we think? In view of God's mercy, with the grace He has given us, we steward the gifts God has given you. Why? To build a community unified by Jesus & His gospel. Thats the ‘win’!De către Vintage Grace

Our experience of God’s mercy is the foundation of our expression! Paul knows the secret to joyfully living sacrificially is tied to being transformed in the mind. Our thoughts can be our greatest enemies or our greatest allies when it comes to walking in the way of Jesus.De către Vintage Grace

The Gospel calls people to God, and unifies all of humanity—every Jew & Gentile, past & present, in Rome & California. The Gospel informs, directs, and defines our lives. The Gospel sends us to our towns, to point people to the power of God to save! The Gospel is the completed work of God’s Plan!De către Vintage Grace

We want Jesus to be King of our lives. We also want him to reign in the lives of our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and everyone far from him. #LivingProofDe către Vintage Grace

Rehoboam is leading his people into rebellion against God. It is not just a problem from him and his people, but it's a problem with us and all of Humanity. Rehoboam is a failed king of a people who needed a greater king. King Jesus, is ready to do a redemptive work in our lives. He is not phased by our failure, but reveals a need for a new work in…

Gods plan of salvation is humblingDe către Vintage Grace

The mystery of God’s plan of salvation includes both the rejection and inclusion of his first covenant people. If their sin led to our saving how much more will their salvation mean for us and the world?De către Vintage Grace

Today, Paul shows us that we have not been abandoned. God has and is continuing to rescue us from sin and separation from God. Even when we cannot see it, understand it, or feel it, God is still at work in our lives. Since He is always at work, Paul urges us to trust deeply in God’s grace and His sovereign work– the only thing that will ever bring …

In our text Paul lays out 5 essential steps in the process of conversion, emphasizing the absolute necessity of someone verbalizing the good news. Call - Believe - Hear - Preach - SendDe către Vintage Grace

Paul can see the redemptive potential in his people but their passions are in the wrong place. If only they knew Jesus already solved their biggest problem–how to get right with God.De către Vintage Grace

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who is merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be…

Jesus identifies & invites us to follow Him, imitating him as disciples who live in Communitas together and break bread in table fellowship, which results in us being SENT on mission to invite all to come and repent and receive His grace and forgiveness.De către Vintage Grace

God choosing to show MERCY to his children is not a new idea, and has massive implications for how we invest our time, talent, and treasure in and for things that are eternal.De către Vintage Grace

Paul wants to give us a richer, fuller picture of God’s LOVE. God has not failed the Jews and He will not fail those who trust Christ. Without negating what he has written in the first 8 chapters about human responsibility, Paul opens for us a window into the activity of God. He shows from three Old Testament examples - God has always been choosing…

At the end of Joseph’s life, he is able to see his life from God’s perspective. What man meant for evil, God meant for good. This is universally true of God’s character, He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.De către Vintage Grace

Looking back (Rearview Mirror) gives us clarity & empowers our ability to look up & SEE GOD in each & every situation throughout our lives. In Joseph we are now starting to see how God was not only with him, & for him, but also providing through him for ALL His people. #Promises #IntentionsDe către Vintage Grace

Moses’ intention in sharing the life of Joseph is, on some level, to show us how trials are always clearer through the rearview mirror of life. When we look back at a complete story, we can clearly see how God is not only WITH us but FOR us. The present gap is not only for our good, but also for His glory. As HisStory unfolds we begin to see, recei…

The Steadfast love of God on display in the story of Joseph in prison is a source of encouragement for us when we feel forgotten. When you feel forgotten, remember God is faithful.De către Vintage Grace

In Joseph’s life, God is working through EVERY Gift & Gap to unfold and bring about His plan. Looking at Joseph's life, we can find strength, joy & hope knowing that God is always working all things for His glory & our good. In light of this, EVERY moment of life becomes full of meaning & purpose because God is at work. He invites us to join His di…

All throughout humanity we see the brokenness of God's children on full display. Our lack of faith, our dark hearts and our evil intentions continue to play on repeat, but what man intends for evil, God transforms for good, and one of the best stories depicting this truth is the story of Joseph. This summer we will see the sovereignty of God, trump…

Paul calls us to consider the depth & magnitude of God’s love expressed to us. He sacrificed his greatest treasure so that we might become his children. What would He withhold if He has already given us His Son? The Love of Christ means we have nothing to fear, the Kingdom and the King’s victory are here! #GoodNews Vintage: a Church that lives in t…
