Learning Forgiveness
by Village Vineyard, 12/11/11 10:52am
page 2The Path To Forgiveness By Tad J. Blackburn, Ph.D. The Way to Gethsemane 1. In prayer, empty your heart out to God of your feelings toward the person who hurt you (Heb. 4:15-16; Eph. 6:18). Share these hurt feelings ONLY with God, not the person who hurt you (Eph. 4:29-31). “For we do not [...]

Celebrate what you want to see more of
by Village Vineyard, 07/16/11 12:43pm
“Celebrate what you want to see more of.” I read this quote recently about celebration. Celebration is an interesting concept. I think that it can take many forms – a party, a gathering, a letter, an event, a public speech, etc. To me, the interesting notion is what is at the core of our celebration. [...]

Blessed Are Those Who’ve Had Enough
by Village Vineyard, 02/16/11 11:35am
This was originally posted on my personal blog—but I felt that it was too in-line with our current sermon series not to share. Today I posted a status on Facebook lamenting how annoying it is that my spiritual life is a near-constant battle with cynicism. If you read this blog, you know that I tend [...]

There’s Something About Obedience
by Village Vineyard, 09/19/10 3:03pm
This morning a few of us were praying before the church service, and there was a single, unexpected word that was repeating over and over in my head. Obedience. I can’t say I’m a fan of the word. In our culture, this word carries significant weight. Especially in Christian circles. When I think of obedience, [...]

Loving the World
by Village Vineyard, 07/28/10 4:48pm
Do I love the World? Honestly? I try to make this question infinitely more complicated than it really is. Probably because I don’t think I like the simple answer. I try to hide behind my self-proclaimed introvert tag. I try to hide behind the fact that I am not an evangelist (at least not in [...]

Ahhhhh The Power of Fasting
by Village Vineyard, 06/03/10 11:48am
Hey all I haven’t checked in a while on this so the 10 of you that will read this, I thought it would be worth it. I am currently fasting and once again being reminded of why it is so beautiful, why God gave us the gift. Gift? Yes this thing of fasting is the [...]

close the gap
by Village Vineyard, 01/14/10 1:10pm
It’s time to start closing the gap. The gap between what I say I believe and what I actually experience in the “real world.” The gap between the God I experience on a Sunday morning and the God that I experience at my work place. The gap, what is it? It is the space between [...]

Doing what the Father is doing
by Village Vineyard, 01/07/10 5:27pm
“Doing what the Father is doing.” This is becoming more and more the focus to my life these days and it’s beginning to bear fruit. By fruit I mean there is a smile on my face more often, there is less weight on my shoulders, my heart is softer to God’s presence, I am desiring [...]
