Exactly who are we?
People in transition.
People who have crossed over into "new" life.
A work in progress.
Straining forward to the Upward call of Christ.
We have lived in the darkness far longer than we care to remember.
Now the dawn of hope breaks over us everyday through the Word of God and the presence of His Holy Spirit in us, over us, around us.
It's all about Surrender.
Giving up.
We has spent our lives giving up.
This time the giving up is different. It is a surrender to one greater than us that has the power to restore us to sanity.
Sanity?
The ability to make sound decisions that lead to good consequences.
Sanity!
We had surrendered ourselves to the rock.
We had surrendered ourselves to the needle.
We had surrendered ourselves to the joint.
We had surrendered ourselves to the bottle.
We chose to bow our knee and worship the high.
Repeatedly we performed this ritual so many times that it became second nature
We did it out of habit until it became a habit.
A habit that consumed the very focus of our lives.
We surrendered ourselves to the darkness...and there in that darkness, we lost all hope.
But You!
You broke through and even though we might not have verbally heard the words, our hearts knew the truth. That You truly were The way....The truth.....and The life.
You lifted us up...
You took us out...
You filled our very being with Your presence...
And You set us on a course of learning how to live.
Vineyard ReCovery Church is a community that is seeking answers which can only be found in Christ.
Our Theology?
I Corinthians 2:2
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Christ at the center of our life, gives my life purpose and strength to be lived and walked out everyday.
We are a community of hope.
Our worship is simple and direct.
We sing "to" God and not about God.
Our services are every Saturday Night at 7 p.m.
God On You This Morning....
