This weekend marks the end of the message series we've been working through together here at Vineyard OP called The Complicated Art of Loving Your Enemies. You can listen to the message series here. One person asked about where Jesus says that we need to turn the other cheek in Matthew 5:38, "Are you suggesting that we should just stand by and let someone break into our house and rob us?" When Jesus says to "turn the other (cheek) also", does he mean we are not allowed to defend ourselves and our loved ones? The quick answer for ...

We've been working through a message series here at Vineyard OP called The Complicated Art of Loving Your Enemies. The entire series deals with Jesus' command to love your enemies in Matthew 5:43-48. You can listen to the messages here. I had someone ask the following question: "If Jesus says to love our enemies, does that mean we are supposed to love satan?" Now, some people may feel this is an odd question, but it is not the first time it has been asked in the history of the Church. The movement known as "universalism" in the ...

As you may know, Vineyard Church of Overland Park has been getting more and more involved in and with our community. About a year ago God gave us the vision of Vineyard Church of Overland Park becoming the best friend the Community of Overland Park has ever had. We want to be a church that sees what God is already doing and joining in. All across this world, we see multiple ways God is moving, both through faith based organizations and non faith-based organization. The fun part is listening to God, to see which ones He wants us to partner ...

Heavenly Father, I worship you and I give you praise. I recognize that you're worthy to receive all glory, honor and praise. I'm thankful that you loved me from eternity past, that you sent the Lord Jesus Christ into the world to die as my substitute that I would be redeemed. I'm thankful that, in him, you've made me complete and have offered yourself to me to be my daily help and strength. I'm grateful, heavenly Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ spoiled all principalities and powers and made a show of them openly -- ...

A few weeks ago, I talked about what it would take to become a Mark 2 church, a church that will stop at nothing to bring the people to Jesus and Jesus to the people. This past weekend, I announced a new initiative that represents a dramatic step in that direction. We're calling it The Hub. Our heart is to use the assets the Lord has blessed us with to offer a community-center-style program aimed at inviting and including the folks in our community to build relationships as they learn together side-by-side. To let us know you are ...

What If The Church is over. *sigh* We cleaned our paintbrushes, emptied the mop buckets, packed up the lunch leftovers and headed back to our respective communities of faith. It's kind of like when you were a kid in the summer time and your friend came over to spend the night, and then their mom called and said they could stay another night. Then, after two days of playing together, the time finally came when your friend's mom showed up for real to take them home. You and your friend begged for another day, but your friend had ...

That's amazing. They are divided into groups of three called triads, and our triad is made up of Heartland ...
