Discipline of the Father - Audio

Want to create the future? Come join us this Sunday as we continue the conversation about being Intentional. When we become Intentional with the choices we make, we create the future that our soul longs for.

We’ve said for a couple of weeks now that being Intentional in our pursuit of Jesus requires effort and energy, and that knowing him the way we want doesn’t happen by chance or by accident. But what is the destination of our effort and energy? What does that mean, and what is God calling us to? On Sunday, we will talk about what it means to slow down and rest in Jesus!

One of the byproducts of living Intentionally is that it takes time to achieve our desired outcome. That time period requires waiting, and waiting is something most people struggle with!! On Sunday, we will talk about the biblical understanding of it, how it is talked about in scripture, and how we can apply it to our lives today.

This Sunday, we continue our Intentional series, focusing on the words of Jesus and Paul as they talk about the internal struggle we all face between our passions and our convictions. Our hope for Sunday is to be honest about our struggle, recognize God’s strength, and take steps towards a more intentional life in Jesus!!

We end our Intentional 21-Day Fast with a morning of celebratory prayer and worship.

As we step into our third week of fasting, it's a humbling reminder that we're not navigating this journey on our own strength. Fasting helps us acknowledge that God is the one in control. Simultaneously, taking intentional moments to rest is like a gentle prompt to hit the brakes, giving us the chance to savor the goodness in our lives. Together, these rhythms help shape our lives for the future God wants us to step into.

The second week of our 21 Day Intentional Fast begins on Sunday. This week, as we go into Mark 9 and Matthew 17, we will unravel God's power that is available to us through the marriage of prayer and fasting. We will examine two disputed verses in each chapter and determine what we can gain from them.

On Sunday we begin our Intentional 21 Day Fast. In the video above Steve gives some direction and tells us about the online resource page you can access for more information on fasting, types of fasts you can do, and the vision of why we are doing it as a church. During our service this weekend, Steve will build out the powerful connection of prayer and fasting and why these 21 days could be the most important days in the history of Vintage.

On Sunday we step into our series titled “Intentional.” Our goal is to look at our personal growth in 2024 as a priority we invest in. But what do we focus on? What do we make a priority? What steps do we take? This week starts our journey into these questions.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of 2024. We would love for each of you to start the year with your Vintage family as we discuss God’s vision for us, the goal of living intentionally this year, and where each of us fits into His plan.
