Community’s Freedom: Why Vintage Church Facilitates Life Groups

October 05, 2015/ Dustin Turner

Recently, I have heard countless reports of Christians who have isolated themselves from any type of Christian community. Sadly, this isolation has caused many of them to fall into deep, habitual sin. Some of these individuals have struggled so greatly, they’ve taken their own lives.

Sin’s Isolation

For many of these people, once their sin is exposed, everyone around them is completely taken back. They never imagined that person struggled with addiction, depression, or any other sin or symptom. Sadly, all of their friends though they knew them only to find out they had been deceived.

Your Invitation to Vintage’s First Equip Series: Living Faith

September 29, 2015/ Dustin Turner

Over the past several years, I have had the awesome privilege of leading or hosting several different “Equip Nights.” We’ve discussed everything from how to study the Bible to the Holy Spirit to prayer. Almost everyone I know who has attended these evenings has loved them. While it’s like drinking from a fire hydrant, the Equip Nights are invaluable times of equipping and training. You can find all of our past Equip Night material here.

Lead Pastor & vStudents Pastor...Let's do this!!!

August 20, 2015/ Rob Wilton

Marshall has been serving as our Generations Director and has focused on leading and building our vStudents ministry. He has done a great job laying a foundation for our church of the future. Marshall and his family will be leaving us in a couple weeks as he is pursuing God's call to serve with a church in North Alabama. This was as much of a surprise to the Henderson family as it has been to us. The Vintage Pastors have affirmed that Marshall has received a call from the Lord.

Vintage Church exists for Gospel Multiplication. This has been accomplished in many ways. One person telling another person about Jesus. One community group multiplying to start another community group. One location for worship multiplying to two locations for worship. We have also accomplished this vision by sending church leaders around the world. We have church planters, church leaders, and missionaries all over the world that have been SENT OUT by Vintage. We are excited to consider this move by the Henderson family in the same way. Our church not only celebrates our gathering capacity, we celebrate our sending capacity.

So...what about vStudents?

SERVE the CITY Opportunities for Katrina 10

August 13, 2015/ Vintage Church

August 29, 2015 marks the 10th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. These past 10 years our city has been rebuilt by thousands of locals and hundreds of thousands volunteers from around the world. Our city has made many strides and grown. The story that is being written is truly amazing. We as New Orleanians and Vintage Church are a part of this story. We have a huge role to play as Christians and a church.

Respond: Music Arts at Vintage Church

August 12, 2015/ Robert Hargrove

Highlighted throughout the Bible and so richly painted in the Psalms, we see response to the Lord through musical worship. I recognize that today in most congregational settings guitars, keyboards, and many other instruments have replaced the lute, harp, and lyre, but the Lord’s steadfast love remains the same. Jesus never changes. Yes, He is worthy of all our praise. And we have the blessing of song to usher in that holy praise. “It is good to give thanks to the Lord.”
