The book of Revelation can be intimidating; it’s full of symbolic language and strange imagery. Because of this, there are a number of different ways it has been interpreted over the years. Despite the confusion (and sometimes fear) that can surround this text, when we read it well there’s one thing of which we can be certain: this letter provides one of the most powerful messages of hope and encouragement that we have in the Bible.

Throughout life we come across ample opportunity to develop new perspectives concerning our faith. Sometimes it’s from personal study, and sometimes it’s forced upon us by sudden changes or new information. We must then do the work of building up our faith as part of our growth as disciple. This is hard work — it’s much easier to break things down than it is to build them back up, especially when we find ourselves faced with some of life’s toughest decisions. But the more we are consistent in pursuing God’s love — despite the hard questions that arise, or the difficult situations we face — the more we can rest that His grace and mercy are enough.

The word “influencer” as job title wasn't added to some dictionaries until 2019, and yet it’s become a dream job for a generation. While filming one’s self to influence others through social media is relatively new in the course of human history, leveraging influence isn’t. The way most people think about authority, power, legacy, and success, is tied to the idea of influencing others. And while we might get caught up in quantifying our influence, what’s more important is how we are using the influence we do have. In the life of Peter, one of the most influential disciples of Jesus, we find key moments that define the type of Influencer we’re called to be.

The book of Psalms is a collection of poems, songs, and prayers from different periods of Israel’s history. With themes of faith, hope, and the coming Messiah, the Psalms provide us with a kind of prayer primer. Through words of lament and praise, they help us to know God and to pray to Him through the varied experiences of our lives and the world around us. They connect our head and our heart to the Creator of our soul.

It doesn’t take an in-depth study to discover that faith in Jesus is meant to be experienced in community. However, the way in which we are designed to relate to one another is an art that is becoming lost in our culture. Despite being technologically connected now more than ever, loneliness has reached epidemic status in our society. The cure is nothing new however, it is ancient wisdom set in motion from the beginning of Creation. The solution? Friendship.
Our mission at Velocity is Helping people find Jesus and love God. It simply comes from the greatest commandment: Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and the great commission: Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching all that I [Jesus] have commanded you.” These words from Jesus are the driving force behind who we are as a congregation and why we strive to be a church that meets people where they are so they might find out who Jesus is as we become more like Him.

1 & 2 Peter are written by the Apostle Peter, one of Jesus’ closest disciples. The letters are written to Christians who are scattered all over who are living life as foreigners, not necessarily because of their geographical location, but because that is the reality all disciples of Jesus live under—after all, this world is not our home. Peter sends these letters to be shared among these Christians gathering all over as encouragement to them that as they suffer due to the unpopularity of following Jesus, and as their faith is challenged by false teaching, that if we stay focused on Christ, and live our lives according to God’s will, Come What May, we may be secure in Him.

Are you confident? Everyone has had something not go according to plan in life and every time it happens, our confidence level shifts. With every unexpected turn of events, it’s easy to develop a level of uncertainty that overshadows what we’re meant to be sure of. None of us can predict the future, but God has assured us what the ultimate outcomes will be. Because of this we can Be Confident.

The Kingdom of God is an ongoing theme of the Gospels — the four biographies of Jesus’ life. Jesus taught about it regularly. And while some mistake it as just a reference to a future reality, still others miss its present purpose.
Those familiar words — Your kingdom come — came through Jesus as he taught His apostles what we today call the Lord’s Prayer. And the stories of Jesus’ life preserved for us in Scripture declare how God’s kingdom comes to be, how He establishes His reign through Jesus, and how we today are to go about living as its citizens.

That’s what we’re discussing in our sermon series called Kingdom Come. Let’s explore it together this Sunday at 10 AM … in-person or online at Velocity.
Imagine that you’re minding your own business one day, and Jesus drops by to tell you that He’s coming over to your house. The Gospels tell us that this actually happened to quite a few people in New Testament times.
We read that throughout His ministry, Jesus was often found in someone’s home eating, teaching — or just hanging out. And the early church continued this practice each week by encountering the Savior in each other’s residence. It’s an example that’s no less important for modern-day Christ-followers: opening our own homes so we can meet up with and share Jesus with others.

Our normal pace of life these days is unsustainable. In fact, we can stay so busy doing so many activities that we risk missing out on life.
It’s a reminder why God instituted a day of rest for His people. And when we take time out to simply be, it isn’t just counter cultural. Instead, it gives us space to experience Him in a life-giving way.
If you’re tired of being busy all the time without much to show for it, eliminating your hurry is the best first step you can take. It’s then that you’ll be on your way to discovering the rhythm of life God intends for us.

The Old Testament's final 12 books contain the writings of prophets of Israel — men whom God set aside as messengers to that nation.
They’re often called the Minor Prophets. But the “minor” isn’t a slight against the content's importance. Instead, it’s simply a reference to size.
These powerful books convey pivotal messages about God’s justice, righteousness, compassion, and love for His people. And they also reveal the character and nature of His relationship with humanity as a whole. It’s in our sermon series called Minor Prophets, Major Lessons - Part 2 that we’re discussing the second four: Jonah, Micah, Nahum, and Habakkuk.
They're small books with BIG implications. Let’s explore them together this Sunday at 10 AM — in person or online — at Velocity.

Writer Tom Wolfe coined the term Me Generation back in the 1970s. It was his commentary on the narcissism of the times, when the concepts of self-fulfillment and self-realization replaced social responsibility and the common good. Today — 50 years later — we still live in a culture dominated by me.
But maybe that’s not surprising. It’s only natural to think of ourselves as individuals and navigate life through that lens. After all, it’s “my” life … or is it?
The truth is that we don’t live in a vacuum, and our lives are inextricably linked. It’s always better when we move forward in life with God — together.
That’s what we’re discussing in our Better Together sermon series. Be sure to join us at 10 AM this Sunday in person or online as we explore what the Bible has to say about it.

But maybe that’s not surprising. It’s only natural to think of ourselves as individuals and navigate life through that lens. After all, it’s “my” life … or is it?
The truth is that we don’t live in a vacuum, and our lives are inextricably linked. It’s always better when we move forward in life with God — together.

We're so grateful for our staff and volunteers who have put in so much time and effort this year, and this final Sunday of the year will be one in which we can all gather together for worship in the same way. Join us for the 10AM premiered online only service on our Watch Online page or Facebook or YouTube. Then, we'll see you again next year, January 2, at 10AM either in-person or online!
This is a special time to gather and reflect on the light and joy brought by Jesus’ first coming -- and the expectant hope we share at His coming again.
Christmas brings out the classics: music, traditions, decorations … and movies. And they in turn bring out the themes of life during the holidays, whether they’re idyllic, fantastical, or the reason for the season.
This Advent we’ll look at the Hope, Peace, and Joy we receive through the gift of Jesus’ First Coming (and His Second!) — all through the lens of the Christmas classics How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story, and Elf. So grab your popcorn, plan a family movie night, and join us at Velocity for the sermon series we’re calling Christmas at the Movies.
We look forward to seeing you at 10 AM this Sunday in person or online as we explore what the Bible has to say about these classic holiday themes.

We all live with some degree of anxiety. Unfortunately, there’s been a concerning trend over the last several years where many people are experiencing a level that affects even their normal day-to-day activities.
It’s in Philippians 4:6 that the apostle Paul tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything.” But with so much to alarm us these days, is this admonition to Christ-followers even possible? It is — but it calls for a different way of thinking … and a distinct approach to living.
That’s what we’re discussing in our sermon series titled Anxious for Nothing. Be sure to join us at 10 AM this Sunday in person or online as we explore what the Bible has to say about this all-too-familiar issue.

Faith is incredibly powerful. We’re wired for it—no-one can independently verify everything that exists. We need it—without faith we lose what it means to be human. However it is often limited to being defined by just belief. In his letter to fellow believers, James reminds us that faith isn’t just an intellectual work—faith produces practical application and action in our lives that provides evidence of what we actually believe. And when we align that with who God is, following Jesus means we have a faith that isn’t just theoretical—it works.
Waiting for suffering to end just seems to prolong our pain and lead to bitterness, envy, or despair. Hope can see elusive. This week, we discuss how God works in the midst of our waiting, and how we can find hope in the promise and purpose that God has for us.

Monday is often the least favorite day of the week for one simple reason: work. After all, that feeling of dread hits us Sunday afternoon when we realize the weekend is nearly over. And then the workday grind will be on again.
It can be hard to get past the feeling that we must work to make a living. But what if there was a different way to look at Mondays? There is — and it all begins with how God wants us to approach our work.

This Sunday is Compassion Sunday at Velocity — a special day for churches across America to share God’s message about caring for refugees and those otherwise in need. What’s more, it’s an occasion for churches in America join in solidarity with churches in the developing world. And that’s more relevant than ever considering the current crisis in Afghanistan and the ongoing threat to our fellow Christ-followers in that war-torn nation.
The opener for Jesus’ most famous teaching — the Sermon on the Mount — is in Matthew 5:3-12. It contains eight beatitudes, which are statements of characteristics that are indicative of those living blessed lives. It’s within each description that we find who belief in God enables us to be. And it’s in this becoming that we are blessed.

Our guest speaker this Sunday morning is Tim Cole, the Executive Director of Waypoint Church Partners -- an organization that plants churches around the Mid-Atlantic, and assists and trains church leaders for a wide variety of needs. And if he looks somewhat familiar, Tim was also Velocity's original pastor!

Anyone who has ever struggled with the pitfalls of life knows what it’s like to wrestle with God. It’s those exhausting times when we deal with people, circumstances and faith — and especially our hearts — that require intense effort that connects deep within our souls.
Thankfully, we’re not alone in these personal battles. And such adversity is nothing new in the human experience. In fact, the Bible is filled with the true stories of men and women who grappled with their Creator. Over the next few weeks, we’ll look at five people in Scripture who did just that, and what their stories mean for us in our own struggles.

We all have family.
For some that’s a joy. But for others, it’s a painful reminder. Either way, we know that family shapes us and affects the trajectory of our lives. What’s more, we want our family to be the best it can be.
Family matters to us — and it also matters to God. And how we form and play our role in it largely determines how we experience it.

What happens when we die?
It’s a question we’ve all pondered, and it’s been answered with theories ranging from nothing to everything.
In the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples that through his death and resurrection — and his return to God — he will prepare a place for his followers before returning to bring them along. It’s a hopeful promise for all who believe in Christ: that when we die, being with God in Heaven isn’t just what happens, it’s the beginning of the eternal life we were always meant for.

A lost art is something that usually requires a particular skill that few people have anymore.
It might seem like the reason we no longer do some of the things we once did is because they’re outdated. But when they relate to our cultural identity, their loss isn’t because they’re unnecessary or useless. Instead, it’s because we haven’t practiced, passed down or upheld the standards of the skills needed to make them happen. Likewise, some lost arts don’t just reflect a bygone era, they also cause us to lose a part of who we are — and more importantly — who God has called us to be.
That’s what we’re discussing at Velocity over the next three Sundays in our sermon series called Lost Arts. Be sure to join us at 10 AM in person or online as we look at what the Bible has to say about purity, civility, and hospitality.

The final 12 books of the Old Testament contain the writings of prophets of Israel — men whom God set aside as messengers to that nation. These scriptures are often called the Minor Prophets. However, that’s no slight against their contents’ importance, but simply a reference to their size.
Each book conveys pivotal messages about God’s justice, righteousness, compassion, and love for His people, and they reveal the nature and character of His relationship with humanity. It’s in Part 1 of our sermon series called Minor Prophets Major Lessons that we’ll look at the first four: Hosea, Joel, Amos, and Obadiah.

Being a disciple means being a follower. And as followers of Jesus, mere belief isn’t what sets us apart as disciples. The actions and the rhythm of our lives are the indicators that we are in sync with our Creator. The rhythms of discipleship aren’t a mystery that we need to figure out either, constantly wondering if we’re “where” God wants us to be in our relationship with Him. Putting in to practice the habits of Jesus’ life puts us right in motion with God’s movement in our lives.

We're so grateful for our staff and volunteers who have dedicated so much time and effort throughout this atypical year, and this final Sunday of 2020 will be one in which we can all gather for worship in the same way.
Christmas is a celebration of The Nativity Story: God’s personal appearance to mankind through the miraculous birth of Jesus — and all under the most-humble of circumstances. The King of Kings was born in a stable among common farm animals because there was no room for him in the inn. For Christ-followers it’s a familiar scene that brings comfort, peace and joy.
While there’s no shortage of stories about the deities in manmade religions, the unique circumstances and impact of Jesus’ narrative stands alone. The way He arrives, lives, leads, and loves sets Him apart as the One who’s name is above all others. Jesus is unique. And He’s worthy of our worship and trust as our Savior and Lord.
That’s what we’re discussing at Velocity in our sermon series called Unique Jesus. Let’s discuss it together at 10:00 this Sunday morning in person or online at VelocityChurch.info.

The way He arrives, lives, leads, and loves sets Him apart as the One who’s name is above all others. Jesus is unique. And He’s worthy of our worship and trust as our Savior and Lord.
That’s what we’re discussing at Velocity in our sermon series called Unique Jesus. Let’s discuss it together at 10:00 this Sunday morning in person or online at VelocityChurch.info.
Christmas is a celebration of The Nativity Story: God’s personal appearance to mankind through the miraculous birth of Jesus — and all under the most-humble of circumstances. The King of Kings was born in a stable among common farm animals because there was no room for him in the inn. For Christ-followers it’s a familiar scene that brings comfort, peace and joy.

We find division in most places these days — in the workplace, at school and at home, with friends — and even at church. But we know it shouldn’t be that way. After all, we long to be in community, and we need each other’s support and encouragement.
Unfortunately, finding the pathway forward feels elusive to most people. Perhaps for some it’s no longer even a priority. But Jesus preached a better way and a greater kingdom. And it’s the kingdom that’s not of this world that brings us together despite the divisions found in the others

This Sunday, guest preacher Dominic Chasse will discuss the remarkable story in John’s gospel (John 4:1-29) about Jesus’ encounter with The Woman at the Well. We hope you’ll join us for his sermon called A Well-Told Story, which covers the life-changing power and implications of our testimony as Christ-followers.

Throughout the Old Testament there are sacred moments and places God sets apart for His people to experience His purpose. And while Jesus changes the form of those moments to invite everyone, He also reinforces their function in God’s holiness in our lives. We'll see in our sermon series Sacred that it’s by understanding 5 ancient consecrations — Relationship, Name, Place, Sacrifice and Calling — that we get a fuller picture of God’s calling for us.

This Sunday, September 6, is Compassion Sunday at Velocity — a special day set apart to release children from poverty in Jesus' name.
Compassion Sunday is also a chance to share our heart for these little ones with those who could change their lives forever — our church family. After all, there are millions of children around the globe who live in poverty. Every single one of them deserves hope. So on this special day, we’ll join with other churches across America to speak up for them. The opportunity is great. And as Jesus once told his disciples, the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

Few things say summertime like an afternoon or night at the movies. It's a great way to beat the heat while getting your fill of nonstop action, drama or comedy. And if the theme music is catchy enough, you'll be humming the tune for days.
It's no coincidence that Velocity's August sermon series is called At the Movies: 90's Edition. Throughout the month, we'll take a look at some of the best films of the 1990s -- plus the Biblical themes you may have never considered -- and how they apply to us as Christ followers today.

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” After long periods of unrest, most eventually just want peace. When it comes to our part, our faith has much to say about how the actions we take can lead to making peace.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, political upheaval and violent social unrest largely dominating 2020's headlines, it's no surprise that so many people are fearful and angry -- and looking for ways to bring a semblance of peace to their lives. So throughout July, we'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about these issues:
July 5 Fear Doesn't Stand A Chance Chip Prior
July 12 Slow to Become Angry Rob Yancey
July 19 Guest Speaker Tim Cole Waypoint Church Partners

There are many things that we could be angry about–and do get angry about. But there’s a very important process that we should go through every time before ever getting to that point.

It's the big question that's been pondered, studied and debated for centuries. And if you pose it to a dozen people, you're sure to get multiple answers that reflect different parts of His character.
Out of the Bible's four biographies of Jesus, it's the apostle John's gospel that takes the unique approach of communicating Christ's nature through His divinity. And one way it does that is through all seven of Jesus' metaphorical I Am statements, which teach us who He is through His own words.

Over the last several weeks everyone has been settling in to a new normal that's marked by change. Much of it will be temporary, but there will be some memories or even new realities that we'll carry with us for years to come. And while it can be difficult to navigate the changes that change everything, there's one change that takes care of the rest. With our minds set on the new life we have through Jesus, our New Normal gives us the well-being to move forward without having to look back.

If you had to pick the single most important thing about the Christian faith, what would it be?
There are lots of great choices including love, grace, mercy, justice and purpose. And if you went to church as a kid, maybe you discovered that "Jesus" is often the correct answer to most questions about faith. It's true in this case as well, but it's not His teachings or His healings that top the list. Instead, it's His death, burial and resurrection that are Of First Importance, which happens to be the title of our current sermon series at Velocity.

Whether it's a simple log placed over a narrow creek or a steel architectural marvel spanning a raging river, bridges have long been the solution for traversing obstacles in our path. With the right materials, ingenuity and effort, previously unreachable places become accessible.
As Christ-followers, we need to span the obstacle of sin with a bridge for reaching others about Jesus. But through His sacrifice on the cross for you and me -- along with the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit -- we can be part of the bridge-building that spans generations of Believers who have shared their faith with others. And that's particularly important in this day when many are more interested in burning bridges than building them.
We've all heard them and maybe even believed them. They're religious clichés that roll off the tongue -- or share easily on social media -- and seem to capture a complicated facet of faith in some helpful way. But under biblical scrutiny, statements like "God won't give you more than you can handle" and "God helps those who help themselves" actually miss the mark.
Separating fact from fiction can be difficult here because these beliefs arise from misapplied truths. However, it's when we drill down to the truth that we find effective help and real freedom.

Drive a car long enough, and the time will come when you turn the ignition key -- and nothing happens. Odds are that you have a dead battery, and you need a jump start.
Sometimes faith is like that -- like when you're facing a life-struggle and your faith is getting you nowhere. That's when you need a different kind of jump start. The good news is that there are fundamental faith practices that can rev up your spiritual engine. And in our sermon series called Jump Start, we'll discuss five that can give us confidence as Christ-followers that God is with us all the way.

“The waiting is the hardest part”
In Tom Petty’s famous song “The Waiting”, he talks about how waiting can be one of the more difficult parts of life. The same goes with waiting on God. We typically expect God to answer prayers on our timetable. In reality he fulfills our prayers based on His timetable and His will. Sometimes this can simply be uncomfortable and other times it can be downright painful. Listen today as our worship director, Chip Prior, talks about how focusing on gratitude and leaning into the discomfort of waiting can be bring us closer to God and His will for our lives.
Every Christmas, we look forward to certain traditions involving family and friends. But over time, some of these traditions can fade away. People, relationships and circumstances change. And that can leave us wondering: What does it really look like to have a family Christmas?
By celebrating Jesus' birth, we can discover how to make every Christmas one in which we share joy with the family we find around us.

We can find Jesus' longest recorded prayer in John 17.
Sometimes referred to as Christ's high priestly prayer -- and regarded by many as His greatest -- it represents what He valued as He neared the end of His ministry and life. Likewise, it can serve as an inspiration for what composes our own prayer lives in our communion with God: our lives, the lives of fellow disciples, and the lives of disciples to come.

Sometimes it seems like they come out of nowhere -- those feelings and emotions that surface in life-altering and damaging ways. And even if we're not entirely sure how they got there, they all come from the same place: our heart.
That's why Scripture tells us to guard our heart. Everything we say and do flows from what's affecting us within. In our sermon series Enemies of the Heart, we'll look at four emotions that we all battle: guilt, anger, jealousy and greed. Left unchallenged they threaten to ruin the heart God wants for us. But when we know how to fight back, we experience the healing that God's grace can provide.

We spend about 90,000 hours of our lives working. Couple this with the overwhelming percentage of people reporting dissatisfaction with their job, and work seems more like a necessary evil than a way for us to experience God's goodness.
It can be difficult to see how God intends faith and work to intersect. So it's in our sermon series Good Work that we'll explore how God's original intent was for work to be a gift.

The apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome was written to Christians with conflicting backgrounds -- both Jewish and Gentile -- including Romans and non-Romans. In it, he explained how the Gospel works and why it changes how we live. And in doing so, he sought to unify the congregation and their differing ideals about what it should look like to live out the Christian life.
Our faith isn't simply about religious rites and traditions. Instead, it's about a new life that more than conquers the old by unifying all Christians on the foundation of Jesus' resurrection.

The Bible is called many things: holy, best-seller, religious text, instruction manual, myth, love letter, scripture, and library -- just to name a few. It's composed of 66 books across several genres, divided into two major sections, and originally written in three different languages. And its significance as a historical and religious text can't be overstated. Yet for those who believe, it's much more than that.
