Life on the Vine | Walking with Jesus Our Hope
In his first message as Lead Pastor of Grace Church, Pastor Tim shares how John 14 became a lifeline during a difficult season in his own life. As Jesus comforts His troubled disciples, we’re reminded that hope isn’t found in circumstances, it’s found in a Person. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He’s still writing your story. He hasn’t left you as an orphan. And He invites you to trust the Spirit who lives in you, not just a God who’s “with” you, but the One who is fully in control.

In this message from Pastor Jordy, we explore the deep longing for fulfillment and how only Jesus can meet it. Through the lens of Jacob’s encounter at the well and Jesus’ promise of living water, we’re reminded that God has always been the source of zoe—a full and meaningful life.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, this message will help you recognize the “broken cisterns” we often turn to and invite you back to the true Source.

What are you wrestling with? And what lies might be shaping your life more than you realize?
This week, Pastor Joe walks us through the story of Jacob, his past, his limp, and the moment everything changed. We explore how our wounds often lead to lies… and how God meets us in the wrestle to rename, restore, and repurpose us.
Whether you’re carrying shame, struggling to be honest, or simply tired of pretending, this message is a reminder: God isn’t asking you to hide your limp, He’s asking to use it.

In this message, Pastor Josiah Stumbo invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to pray in the Spirit. Drawing from Isaiah, the words of Jesus, and Paul’s letters, we see how prayer becomes a living connection with God, not just discipline, but relationship.
When we recognize the Holy Spirit’s presence within us, prayer moves from routine to reality. We are reminded that we are God’s children, grounded in His love, and never alone, even when words fail.

Paul shows us that moral effort and religious rules can’t make us right with God, only grace through Jesus can. But grace isn’t a license to sin. Every choice has consequences: sin brings death and bondage, while Christ brings freedom, holiness, and eternal life.
In this message, Pastor Kareem reminds us that the domain we serve will be the domain that dominates. Will we choose sin, or will we choose life in Christ?

We don’t usually like empty—but God does His best work with it.
In this week’s message, Pastor Joe unpacks the story of a widow in 2 Kings 4 who had nothing left—except a small jar of oil. As long as she brought empty jars, God kept filling them. The oil never ran out until the jars did.
From creation to the cross, Scripture shows us a pattern: God fills what is empty. The question is—are we willing to bring Him our empty places?
Listen in and discover how to live with open hands and open hearts, ready for the new thing God wants to do in you.

You don’t have to bow to a statue to worship a counterfeit god. In this final installment of our Enter series, Pastor Kareem Smith walks through Joshua 24 and calls us to examine what—or who—has our hearts.
As Joshua reminds Israel of God’s provision and power, he presents them with a choice: keep wavering, or declare your allegiance to the Lord. Kareem unpacks how this same decision faces us today. Whether it’s image, money, politics, or control—anything can become a god we serve. But Jesus invites us into something better.
👣 This message will challenge you to:
• Reflect on where your devotion truly lies
• Practice reverence for God not just on Sundays, but every day
• Step into surrender grounded in God’s goodness

This week’s message, Stuck at the Entrance, is a heartfelt challenge and invitation to anyone who’s found themselves stalled in their spiritual growth.

🔑 Key themes include:
Why staying close to Jesus is the key to real change
What surrender really looks like in everyday life

God’s role in completing the work He started in you

Walls don’t fall because of perfect strategy—they fall when God’s people walk in faith.

If you’re waiting on breakthrough, this message is for you.

How do you keep your faith strong when the future feels uncertain? You remember the past.
In this message from our Enter series, we look at Joshua 4, where God called the Israelites to stop and mark the moment He led them across the Jordan River. These stones weren’t just physical markers—they were faith builders. They told a story. And they challenged every generation to come to ask, “What has God done here?”
When we remember God’s past provision, we gain strength to trust Him with tomorrow.

In Perspective and Provision, Pastor Tim Meier explores the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, showing how our ability to see clearly, through God’s eyes, can change everything. While most of the spies returned with fear and doubt, Caleb and Joshua saw the same circumstances with a different spirit. Their perspective was shaped not by fear but by trust in God’s character and presence.
Tim challenges us to consider: What if the Promised Land isn’t primarily about geography or blessings, but about knowing and walking with God Himself? When we fix our eyes on God instead of the giants in front of us, we find the courage to follow, even when it costs us something. And as we ask the Spirit to give us that same “different spirit,” we can learn to view life’s challenges through the lens of faith, knowing that God is always better, and always worth it.

In “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now,” Kareem Smith invites us into the story of Joshua 3, where God calls His people to step into uncharted territory, literally. As Israel stands on the edge of the Jordan River, God’s instruction is clear: when the priests carrying the Ark step into the water, He will make a way. This message is a timely reminder that God often calls us to step first before the path becomes clear. Obedience and faith go hand in hand, even when the next step feels risky or unclear.
