RESURRECTION | My Limits
John Vermilya // May 22, 2020 God has no limits, and is able to do more than limited humans could ever ask or imagine. We tend to limit God with shallow prayers because we don’t grasp who God is and what He wants to do in us. In Christ, our limits are resurrected.
Read MoreRESURRECTION | My Story
John Vermilya // May 16, 2020 God has the power to resurrect any story, even the story of COVID-19. Suffering is given meaning and purpose when we work with God and give Him control of our stories, so He can resurrect them for His glory.
Read MoreRESURRECTION | My Tribe
John Vermilya // May 9, 2020 A sense of belonging is a primary human need and Jesus doesn’t leave us alone and isolated. Being “in Christ†means we are part of something greater than ourselves. Because of Jesus we now belong to a tribe called the church.
Read MoreRESURRECTION | My Purpose
John Vermilya // May 2, 2020 God has a purpose for every person. The astounding grace of God resurrects dead lives for good works, and makes Christianity unique and superior among all other religions. Sadly many Christians don’t understand grace, and waste time trying to earn God’s favor, instead of freely responding to what He’s…
Read MoreRESURRECTION | My Perspective
John Vermilya // April 25, 2020 The power of Jesus’ Resurrection gives us a brand new perspective. What God says about us is the truth, regardless of how we see ourselves. When we we get to know Jesus personally and intimately, he gives us a resurrected perspective that transforms our everyday lives.
Read MoreRESURRECTION | My Identity
John Vermilya // April 18, 2020 In Christ, God has resurrected our identity and given us a new way to live. We no longer live with guilt, shame, fear, purposeless, hopeless and desperate for love and acceptance. Our identity is now His identity, because we have been chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and lavished with love.…

John Vermilya // April 11, 2020 Easter marks the date that Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, the most important event in History. Over 2000 years later, the evidence is still beyond a reasonable doubt. It is not beyond any doubt, because God leaves room for Faith. What we believe is ultimately the most important…
Read MoreINVITE | They Invite
John Vermilya // April 4, 2020 God intends disciples to multiply disciples. After the triumphal entry Jesus preached a sermon on how a grain of wheat must die in order to multiply more fruit. Jesus’ mission of redemption multiplies exponentially when disciples, leaders, and churches reproduce themselves. Unfortunately most Christians and churches fail to multiply,…
Read MoreINVITE | We Invite
John Vermilya // March 28, 2020 God invites people into relationship and transforms them with his love. Transformed people invite others to meet God, and when these people band together they form a church – and that’s when real momentum is developed. When everyone takes responsibility for that kind of culture, we build momentum and…
Read MoreINVITE | You Invite
John Vermilya // March 22, 2020 God invites so you invite. God invites all of us into relationship because He loves us. Last week we looked at the wheel of discipleship: Seekers – Believers – Followers – Laborers. Part of God’s invitation is to become his invitation. 2nd Corinthians 5 gives us a picture of…
Read MoreINVITE | God Invites
John Williams // March 14, 2020 The great story of the Gospel is that God invites all people into relationship with Him through faith, and deeper in relationship through obedience. The main point of the message is for people to see clearly where they are on the path, and to accept God’s invitation to make…
