Do you struggle with trying to control things you can't? We all struggle with this in some way. In this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us that taking control always ends badly, but surrendering to Jesus opens us up to a peace that passes all understanding!
As we start our new message series, #CHOICESseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons exposes that our lives are most often the result of a series of choices. There are some very important choices to make that will have sweeping effects on our lives! During this message, we'll see that no matter how hard we try, we'll never be liked by everyone. While being liked isn't a bad thing, living to please God is a much better pursuit!
Over the past few weeks, Pastor Kevin Simmons has shared with us about the vision for 2019, that #thereismore for YOU and for US at Vortex Church. Today, Jon Mikesell leaned into there is "more for you" by helping us understand LIVING FOR MORE is what God calls us to do. We can't achieve a different vision by living the same way.

As we begin #CHRISTMASatVORTEX we are focusing on the first few words used to announce the presence of Jesus after His birth, “Do not be afraid.” It’s amazing how no matter what the circumstance is, we do not have to be afraid because God is WITH US! As we start this series, Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us that though we may enjoy God on the mountain top, Jesus uses the valleys of life to deepen our relationship with Himself. He is definitely the God of the Valley!
As we conclude #STRAPPEDseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons carefully examines the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 to expose the wisdom of investing. If we want a better life tomorrow, we must stop living for today! During this message you’ll see practical ways you can start investing towards a better tomorrow!
During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons addresses the level of stress that many of us are living with. Research shows that stress has significant adverse effects on your health. Jesus didn’t die on the Cross and defeat sin and the grave so that you would live with that kind of stress. During this message, you’ll see how we’ve got ourselves into situations that cause financial stress, and we’ll be given three separate prayers to pray through as we grow out of stress.
As we open up #STRAPPEDseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us that most of our problems started when we bought into the lie that what we have is not what we need. During this talk, you’ll see how our personal abundance has caused many of us to live without the peace and margin God desires for us as he shares a few simple steps to embrace a life of less.
This week as we close out #MIRACLESseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons examines a story of an extreme miracle in the Bible to expose the unique power of HOPE. During this message you'll hear from David & Lauren Cooper and see how they could have HOPE in the middle of a tragedy they recently faced! Hope is definitely alive!
As we continue in #MIRACLESseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons opens up God’s heart to heal us. We all deal with the need for healing: for some of us, that need is internal in our hearts, for some it’s in our bodies. During this message, you’ll see that our attitude towards the things of God positions us to experience the power of God!
As we open #MIRACLESseries, Pastor Kevin Simmons explores how familiarity can keep us from Gods best for us. Have you ever noticed that you can’t see something fully when you’re too familiar with it? Maybe you’ve become too familiar with Jesus and your life isn’t honoring Him the way it once did. Maybe you’ve never lived in a way that honored Him. During this message you’ll see that honor positions us to experience the miracle working power of God!
