At the Vineyard Church it's our desire to thrive. We believe that we begin to thrive by cultivating our relationship with God. Below, you'll find some tools to help you develop your relationship with God through prayer, worship, and Scripture.
The Daily Examine
The Daily Examine is a wonderful tool to guide you through prayer and reflection at the end of each day. Easily follow 5 prompts that help you reflect on your day and prepare for the next.
Stillness: Become aware of the Presence of God. Quiet your heart, and listen. In this moment, become present to Jesus.
Gratitude: Review your day with gratitude. Seeing through a lens of thanks, appreciate God’s gifts in each event of the day.
Reflection: Become aware of your emotions.Review your positive and negative feelings. Did you choose Jesus’ way in each situation?
Joy & Sorrow: Choose one feature of the day, and pray. Rejoice in a success, or ask forgiveness for sin. If necessary, plan to make amends.
Hope: Look toward tomorrow. Move toward expectation. Ask God to shine light on tomorrow’s path. Resolve to grow.
Practice ABCD. (Adoration, Blessedness, Consecration, Decision)
ABCD helps cultivate intimacy between you and God. Taking time to reflect on each one of these can greatly enrich your prayer time.
Adoration: Tell God what you love about Him.
Belovedness: What does God love about me.
Consecration: What are the things that prevent me from union with you?
Decision: What actions can I take toward intimacy with Jesus.
Worship
We believe that worship is an essential part of our spiritual journey because it so easily connects us with God's presence. The Bible even says that God "inhabits the praises of His people." That's why we want to help you develop a life of worship. Our Youtube channel has the songs that we sing on Sunday morning to help you develop a heart of worship in your daily life. Worship Playlist
Scripture
The Bible is the primary way that God speaks to us. It just makes sense that if we're going to grow closer to Him that we have to read the Bible. But, the Bible is a pretty big book! It's hard to know where to start and sometimes it's even harder to figure out what it means! Don't worry. We got you covered. In the following link you'll find an awesome through the Bible video devotional. It'll explain exactly whats going on in the Bible and how it relates to your life today. Check it out here!
