The Love of Christmas is the final talk in our 4 part advent series at Christmas! Jesus ushered in a love at His birth that the world did not know. Are we all capable of loving others? Yes!

That love that was ushered into the world on Christmas Day is love that is available for us today. Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service where we catch a glimpse as to what the love of Jesus looks like.

"The Joy of Christmas" is the third talk in our Advent series focusing on the birth of Jesus during the Christmas season. Can we possess the joy that Jesus brought to this world? Is it possible to live a life characterized by joy even when life does not bring us joy. Is joy a lifestyle or is it a response to life? Can we choose joy or is it something we cannot control? In this latest talk from our Sunday celebration we take a closer look at the joy Jesus ushers into this world through His birth! It is a joy we can choose to possess and to live from that conquers any circumstance in our life!

What kind of peace did Jesus usher in with His birth. How do we experience that peace? Find out in our latest podcast!

Psalm 100 is an amazing life call to focus our attention on God. To celebrate Him and thank Him for His goodness and faithfulness! It's easy to drift through life and zing through life without acknowledging what an amazing God we truly serve. Join us in this latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service as we understand what it is like to live a life where we recognize the importance of constantly praising and thanking God for who He is and what He has done!

Vineyard Church of Greater Portland has been around for 25 years! Through those years people have come and gone. Buildings have come and gone. Friends have come and gone but the one thing that remains constant through it all is Jesus' faithfulness to us as a community of believers! In this special podcast we are joined by Phil and Jan Strout who planted our church in 1993 and who are now the Vineyard National Directors. It's always amazing to hear what they have to share both from the past and to the future!

Who is the rich farmer that Jesus talked about in His famous parables? What did he do? What did he not do? This parable is a reminder of the opportunity we have to live rich for God! We all have the ability to live rich for God regardless of how much wealth we have accumulated on this earth. Find out how we can do that! Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service where talk about these questions and more!

In our latest podcast we are joined by Maila Stevens who is currently serving on the Leadership Team shares with us about the relationship between seeking and finding. Jesus explicitly commanded to seek and if we seek He said we will find. Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service where we talk about what it looks like to seek Jesus and what's in store for us when we find Him!

Timing is everything they say! And that is so true especially with God. When do we wait? When do we go? It's up to Jesus! Find out how to better live your life according to Jesus' timing in this talk from Sunday!

Boxes are great! They are so convenient! They allow us to save time and energy when transporting items from one location to another. Boxes can also be very restricting and limiting. We like to have out life boxes. Some life boxes would include family, work, recreation, faith, school, friends. It's comforting to create boxes in our lives. But if one of those boxes contains God we will find ourselves living a life of stale, ordinary, lifeless drifting! Jesus will not be confined to our boxes no matter how hard we try. Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday service celebration as we discuss our boxes!

Doubt is everywhere! The world is filled with doubt, angst, anxiety and pressure! As Christian it is very easy to slip into a mindset of doubt where we don't believe for anything that doesn't seem possible. The life we live with Jesus should and can be free from doubt. Because everything Jesus said He was going to do He will and if we live from that mindset it is impossible for us to be letdown and therefore impossible for us to doubt! Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service where we talk about the issue of doubt in our personal faith.

Man it's hard to wait! In a culture of instant access, google searches that give you millions of results in seconds when we are forced to wait for something in almost seems unfair! But when Jesus makes us wait for something it's usually because we are not ready for what we are asking for or what we know He wants to give us. How can we use that opportunity to grow and mature and become more like Jesus? Join us and listen to our latest podcast from our Sunday celebration service where we tackle this and more!
