Jesus has accomplished all He was sent to do, and was able to say boldly: It Is Finished! The Greek word is Tetelestai.

Mercy Vineyard Church December 19, 2021 Galatians 3:15-18
Peace on earth. People long for it. But chaos, tension, evil are the real result of a broken relationship with God. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to fulfill the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). All who trust in Christ are Abraham's dependents and sons / daughters of Christ.
Mercy Vineyard Church December 12, 2021 Genesis 12:1-3

Mercy Vineyard Church November 7, 2021 Galatians 2:1-10 Who is Barnabas? Did you know his real name is Joseph but was renamed because of his standout spirit of encouragement?

Mercy Vineyard Church October 31, 2021 Galatians 1:11-24
The good news of Jesus is not a man based message. No man, no woman created it. It was a message revealed by Jesus and it's all about Grace!
Mercy Vineyard Church October 24, 2021 Galatians 1:6-10

Mercy Vineyard Church September 19, 2021 Galatians 5:16-26
One of the values that guides the behavior and mindset of the Church / Christians is the value of knowing and responding to the Holy Spirit. A Christian has the daily battle of choosing to follow the Spirit's lead or give into the "flesh" / baser instincts in our hearts.
Mercy Vineyard Church September 12, 2021 Psalm 119 / Matthew 7:14f
A value that should be high on the list for every follower of Jesus and every faithful church is having a commitment to read, study, and know God's Word. Jesus tells us that in addition, it's even more important to DO and APPLY God's word to our lives.
Mercy Vineyard Church September 5, 2021

Mercy Vineyard Church August 29, 2021 Mark 1:15
There is nothing more central to Scripture than the Kingdom of God! Jesus spoke about the arrival of the Kingdom in Mark 1:15. Revelation 21 speaks of the fullness of the Kingdom to come. Such helpful, practical theology ... the already and not yet nature of the Kingdom!

Mercy Vineyard Church March 28, 2021 Mark 15:42 - 16:3
Jesus' tomb was sealed with a very large stone rolled across the entrance. On the 3rd day, the stone was moved by either the disciples, the Roman Government, or God Almighty. An objective look at the evidence surrounding this event appears to lead to just one conclusion.

Mercy Vineyard Church February 21, 2021 Job 1
The bible gives us many reasons WHY we suffer ... Our sin, the sin of others, an evil presence known as Satan the accuser, indifferent creation that needs renewing. (Creation's destructive power is not personal, it’s indiscriminate in terms of who it harms and what it destroys.) But just as important is the issue of HOW do we respond in the mist of suffering?
Mercy Vineyard Church February 14, 2021 Job 1
God is good, kind, and full of love. God is unlimited in power, omnipotent. Evil, pain and suffering dominate life! Why?
Mercy Vineyard Church February 7, 2021 John 8
Why are there only 27 books in the New Testament? There are good reasons why the early church leaders rejected spurious books like The Gospel of Thomas!

Mercy Vineyard Church January 24, 2021 Daniel 7:13-14

Mercy Vineyard Church December 20, 2020 Isaiah 9:6-7
The prophet Isaiah speaks about the coming Messiah, Jesus. He lists four unique names for the savior of the world ... Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Many reject the claim that Jesus was God In the Flesh. Yet that is what we celebrate at Christmas!

Mercy Vineyard Church October 18, 2020 1st John 2:1-11
The Apostle John lists the 3rd "Evidence" of an authentic follower of Jesus -- that person will not give in to hate.

Jesus ends His section on worry with a 3rd and ultimate cure for worry ... making sure you dress immaculately!
