Church Hurts: The Principle of the Chipped Windshield - October 13, 2024

Village Church East — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 15:30:00 +0000

When we forgive it opens the gospel and when we don't forgive it tends to hurt others. Gorgiveness replaces sorrow with joy. 2 Corinthians 2:8 is a testimony to how we deal with "chipped windshields."

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

Cucumbers to Pickles

Feasts Pt. 3; First Fruits

Village Church East — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 15:30:00 +0000

What is your first and best thing you love so dearly? God deserves our first and our best. Sometimes we love the previsions more than the provider, but the blessings God gives aren't always what we think they should be. Whoever and whatever gets your first and your best gets your heart.

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

Date: June 9, 2024

Feasts Pt. 1; Passover

Village Church East — Sun, 26 May 2024 15:30:00 +0000

The Passover was meant to remember those who gave their lives just as Memorial Day is as well. The sacrifice of the Passover was a symbol of forginveness, of which God would forgive those who put the blemish-less blood of the lamb on their door post. Jesus is our Passover lamb so that our sins may be forgiven. If you have been freed by Jesus, then live free.

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

2 Peter Pt. 9; Life in the Waiting Room

Village Church East — Sun, 19 May 2024 15:30:00 +0000

The waiting room is a dangerous place to be, so be aware, the end IS coming. Even in the most mundane parts of life we must use the eternal principles in our daily life reality. Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the dead, are you ready?

Village Church East — Sun, 12 May 2024 15:30:00 +0000

Happy Mother's Day! This Sunday we discuss the end times because Heaven is not the end. We are not made for Heaven, rather, we are made for Earth.

2 Peter Pt. 5, Accountable to the Truth

Village Church East — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 15:30:00 +0000

False leaders are all over this world, but we are made in the image of truth, the image of God, therefore we must reflect it. Truth is too often the casualty of the desperate sould. This is why Jesus came, so that we could humbly surrender to God and his truth.

Date: April 21, 2024

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

2 Peter Pt. 4; Have You Heard From God

Village Church East — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 15:30:00 +0000

The world always makes us doubt with Satan's famous question, "Did God really say?" We will never understand what happens in this world without understanding Jesus who came to intersect the world. Everthing within the Bible points to Jesus which is why our interpretation of him is accurate, due to the validation of God in the Bible. The fear of God is the beginning of truth.

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

Date: April 14, 2024

2 Peter Pt. 3; Wake Up

Village Church East — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 15:30:00 +0000

This Sunday, we dive into how we can can wake up to either myths or Jesus. The world tends to push everyone to "wake up" to the evolving agenda. Peter stressed how urgent waking up is because Jesus told him how long he had left to live out his callings for his life. So just like Peter, Jesus encourages us to wake up to his calling of our lives.

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

Date: April 7, 2024

2 Peter Pt. 2; Easter Sunday

Village Church East — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 15:30:00 +0000

Jesus has risen from the dead! So what? This Easter Sunday we discover why the fact that Jesus has risen is important. Jesus raised from the dead so that we could see with understanding how our lives changed forever ever since that day on. We are meant to see Jesus and believe. Romans 10:9-10 says that you cannot be saved without believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is risen! He is risen indeed.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: March 31, 2024

2 Peter Pt. 1; What Is My Faith Missing

Village Church East — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 15:30:00 +0000

Ever wonder if you faith matches up? Peter, the apostle, begins his letter to brand new Christians by stating clearly that their faith is as valid as his own- equal to his. It is and incredible though to know that the faith we receive from Jesus to live for Jesus is on par with the disciples' own faith. This gives us reason to live with certainty!

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Traps Pt. 7- The Trap of Harboring Hurt

Village Church East — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 16:30:00 +0000

Do we trust God enough to handle those who wronged us? Hurt is bound to happen, but the way in which we deal with it determines who we trust. Our lives are a harbor, ships of hurt come in frequently, but its up to us whether or not we deal with it or let it stay. In order to truly rid our lives of pain, we have to release it all to God. Since God gives us what we don't deserve, we must do the same to others and forgive as Christ forgave us.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: March 3, 2024

Seven's Pt. 4; Completion

Village Church East — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 16:30:00 +0000

For the last Sunday of the Sevens series, we dive into how throughout life all hard work comes to completion. Today was the 7 year anniversary of Village Church East, and how much the church has grown with God and his people emphisizes the great plans God has for us. Life is difficult and brings much change, but as time comes to completion, the only thing that is necessary to remember constantly is Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: February 25, 2024

Seven's Pt. 3; Perseverance

Village Church East — Sun, 18 Feb 2024 16:30:00 +0000

The greatest things in life are almost always the most difficult. And the only way those great things can be attained is through perseverance. Building Jesus's kingdom in a fallen world is hard work, but it is worth it. God calls us to persevere in life and build His kindgom up through others every day.

Pastor: Michael Fueling

Date: February 18, 2024

Seven's Pt. 2; Celebration

Village Church East — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 16:30:00 +0000

Today we often identify ourselves by our work or business, but God wants us to look at His creation and think this is God's world. Which is why Sabbath is a celebration, because God wants us to stop and rest on that day to remind us there is always reasons to celebrate. Man wasn't made for the Sabbath, the Sabbath was made for US.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: February 11, 2024

Seven's Pt. 1; Power

Village Church East — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 16:30:00 +0000

When you think of God, what is the first thing that pops into your head? Some may say power, and that is what we dove into this sunday. God's power is a compas, it is incomprehensible, it is absolute, and it is accessible. Often we tend to view God as equal to us but forget His great power, of which we must not sell short. This Sunday we discover the greatness of God's power, and how it impacts our lives in many different ways.

Traps Pt. 3- Assigned Demonic Powers

Village Church East — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 16:30:00 +0000

This Sunday, we dove deeper into how the world often distracts us and allows life to become overwhelming. God's power is, and will always be, greater than any demonic power there is, becaus He is God, the one who protects and fights for us. This is why we have to live every day like it is the last, because we do not know when that is, all we know is that today is a gift from God and we should live as His children.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: January 28, 2024

Traps Pt. 2- Demonic Heresies

Village Church East — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 16:30:00 +0000

Could it be that there are demonic influences causing Christians to stray from truth? Are those influences in the church as well? The Bible speaks a lot about this warning followers of Jesus to identify insincere teachers who seek to deceive listeners even in the church. This is a compelling call for collective vigilance within the church community.

Traps Pt. 1- Demonic Delusions

Village Church East — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 16:30:00 +0000

People often believe many different philosophies and different ideas that are sometimes anti-truth and anti-Jesus Christ. These kinds of thoughts are often propagated by the evil one and by people all around us. Thankfully, thoughout all of the distractions in life, God still provides truth today for anyone who chooses to seek it.

Intentional Discipleship- Who's Your One?

Village Church East — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 16:30:00 +0000

"A growing faith is meant to replace life's questions." God calls us as Christians to go into the world and make disciples for Him. To utilize our groups of influence and deeply invest in those that God has placed into our lives. We are sent into this world in order to be a light to others through reflecting God and His influence.

Advent; Week 3- Born To Seek

Village Church East — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 16:00:00 +0000

For our last Sunday of Advent, Pastor Jarvis dives into Mathew chapter 2. The very first Christmas asks the question, why are we here? The wise men were searching for Jesus, which means that we must look too. In this sinful world, we are often told how far away we are from God, and how we are so sinful we could never deserve Him. However, God denys that and declares that we are born to seek God, and everyone is important to do so.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: December 24, 2023

Advent; Week 2- Opening Doors

Village Church East — Sun, 17 Dec 2023 16:30:00 +0000

For the third Sunday of Advent, Pastor Paul explores the story of Mary and Joseph desperately trying to find a place to stay for the birth of Jesus Christ. This morning we dive deeper into how to let Jesus in and how we can overcome fear and open the door to our hearts for him. Allowing God to take the reins of our lives is difficult for our sinful beings, but once we do, our worldly troubles can disappear and we can feel peace.

Orchestrated Pt. 1-Roots of Redemption

Village Church East — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 16:30:00 +0000

For our first Sunday of advent, we dive into how God’s actions toward His own does not hinge on our performance but on His promises. All throughout our lives we sometimes get stuck on how busy the present is and concerns for worldly things. But God wants us to be apart of his Divine plan, his orchestra, and follow him in every step of our lives.

Pastor: Craig Jarvis

Date: December 3, 2023

Set Apart Pt. 3; Taking or Tending

Village Church East — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 16:30:00 +0000

Those who use their lives to serve others dwell on a different level. Their first response in life is to "tend" to others rather than "take" from them. We are surrounded by these people and rarely even take time to thank them. If we all lived with this calling in mind, how would our world look right now?

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

Date: November 19, 2023

Life Support; Baptism Sunday

Village Church East — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 16:30:00 +0000

Life tears away our resolve too often, our strength falters and our stability is challenged. God promises us support in many ways in the Bible. The support of the Holy Spirit and His church promises us stability that this world cannot provide.

Speaker: Pastor Craig Jarvis

A Local Church

Village Church East — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 15:30:00 +0000

[24] And he went with him.

And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. [25] And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, [26] and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. [27] She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. [28] For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” [29] And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[a] of the world, and not according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8 ESV)

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:1-11 ESV)
