Choices - Best Of

As we start the #BESTOFseries, Pastor Shane Olsen brings back the series on #CHOICES. Throughout the message, he explores the tension between entitlement or gratitude. ENTITLEMENT places distance between you and the Father, but GRATITUDE aligns your heart with the Father.

Instant Family

Who’s that person that was outside of your own family but welcomed you into
theirs? Chances are that person played a big role in your life. Family is a powerful
thing, and God wants us all to be a part of a family. During this message, we look
at the film INSTANT FAMILY as Pastor KEVIN SIMMONS points us to a new kind of
family, a Jesus-centered family. What if we all examined what it would look to
open up your family to others? Chances are we could change the world!

October Sky

Have you ever thought to yourself, “There’s no way God could use someone like me from a place like this.” As we see in this short, but simple message, people thought that the setting for Jesus’ story disqualified Him from greatness. During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons helps us see that perhaps what we’ve thought was a disadvantage is actually an advantage!

Toy Story 4

As we continue in AT THE MOVIES ’19 we look at the film Toy Story 4. Maybe you’re a little like one of the characters in this film. Perhaps what you think of yourself and say to yourself isn’t reflective of the great treasure placed inside you. During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons helps us explore how we can see ourselves in light of who God sees us as.

Student Testimonies - Beach Trip 2019

Each year, our student ministry (Vortex Tribe) takes a few days to go to the beach. During this time, they focus on building relationships with Jesus, other students, leaders, and our lead Pastor Kevin Simmons. We are thankful for the students who attend each year. This podcast gives you a chance to hear personal stories from our students and the impact this trip had on them this year.

Here to Stay

It’s at the table that we have some of the most memorable and intimate moments as a family. During this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons shows us how the table gives us a great image to understand God’s church. Also in this message Pastor Kevin elaborates on the vision of Vortex Church as we move into a new season of growth!

Forgiveness

It’s impossible to live in relationship with others and not deal with forgiveness. It’s also impossible to have healthy and sustainable relationships if we don’t get forgiveness right! During this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons shows us why we deal with forgiveness, how to approach moments when we need forgiveness, and how to approach moments when we need to forgive others!

Work the Process

What if you knew that life was a series of stages or seasons and that every part had a process? As we unpack the Scriptures you’re going to see that God’s plan has a simple process for us to grow. During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons is going to show us the process from the Apostle Paul’s words in Acts, and you’ll see how to take the next step yourself!

Directions Included

Have you ever struggled following some directions? We all have burned a cake, missed a turn, or even broken a rule at times! How do you find direction? In this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons shares with us how to find direction for our lives as continue to become the person God created us to be!

Assembly Required

It’s so easy to start strong. We do that a lot. Fad diets, bursts of extreme exercise, and even weeks of deep devotion to Jesus. But...starting strong doesn’t finish the race. This life that Jesus purchased for you has to be assembled. During this message Pastor Kevin Simmons talks about the right foundation for becoming the person God created you to be!
