Following our Christmas Spectacular, Pastor Adam brings a compelling message titled Searching based on Matthew 2. Pastor Adam challenges us to reconsider the Magi’s journey, not as wandering seekers, but as recipients of God’s devine guidance. This message reminds us that God is actively drawing us to Himself in the midst of our chaos. Ask yourself in the midst of your life are you truly searching or are you simply not seeing? Tune into this message and be encouraged.
This sermon, No Room at the Inn, picks up right after our annual children’s production, Bedtime Stories. In this message Pastor Adam brings us face to face with the miracle of Jesus entering a world that had no place for Him. Based on Luke 4, this message reveals that Christ did not arrive through ease or comfort, but through resistance and purpose. Heaven came down when Jesus stepped into our world to bring light into darkness. Though there was no room at the inn, Jesus still made His way in. This sermon reminds us that what looks like resistance may actually be God’s greatest invitation.
Pastor Adam closes out the What If We Fail series with a powerful message from 1 Samuel that challenges us to stop letting our state of mind control our frame of mind. In Defeating Defeat, Pastor Adam reminds us that victory begins in the mind and that as followers of Christ, we are called to live from an abundance mindset. We should not live in a mindset of fear or failure. This sermon will encourage you to silence defeat, and step into battles knowing you already overcome through Christ.
In "The Danger of Doubt", Pastor Keira Smallcombe digs into the tension between belief and doubt, showing why doubt is far more dangerous to you than failure ever could be. Drawing from James 1 and the story of the twelve spies, she unpacks how doubt disguises itself as practical thinking, how it rewrites identity, and how it can derail not just your future but the future of others. This message calls you to confront doubt head on, stand on what God has spoken, and step into the promise.
In Let That Sink In, part of the What If We Fail series, Pastor Adam unpacks Matthew 14:22 to reveal how what we call failure is actually meant to deepen our faith. Walking by faith does not remove the possibility of falling short, faith redirects our trust toward God. When we see our mistakes through that lens, they become marking moments of His goodness and grace. This message invites you to let a greater faith truly sink in.
In this monumental message, Pastor Adam unveils the VISION for VIVE Church in 2026. Discover where God is leading us in the year ahead and how you can be part of the journey. Don’t miss this pivotal moment, visit vivechurch.org/vision to connect to the VISION.
In Enough is Enough, Pastor Adam unpacks John 6, revealing that true faith isn’t about convincing ourselves we can do it. Faith is about believing that God can. When we face failure, we know that God is forming greater faith within us. When we realize that He is enough, we find strength in every season.
"How to Build Financial Resilience" is a message from Pastor Mike Kai about anchoring your finances in God, not circumstance. Discover the truth about the tithe, and learn how honoring God first builds true stability, blessing, and freedom in every area of life.
In this message, “Making Room for More”, Johannes Escudero unpacks how true generosity starts with intentional stewardship. Teaching from Leviticus 23, Johannes reminds us that in God’s Kingdom, generosity and tithing go hand in hand. When we understand our margin, we can make room for more of what God wants to do through us.
In this week’s message, “The Secret to Contentment” Pastor Ben explores how our approach to money and stewardship reflects the posture of our hearts. Jesus cares about how we handle our finances because it’s one of the clearest indicators of where our trust lies. True contentment isn’t shaped by circumstances. When we have God, we truly have all we need. Dive into the second message in our Humble Pie series.
In this powerful message, special guest Pastor John Cameron kicks off our Humble Pie Series with an inspiring word from Isaiah 32. Through the message “The Grace of Giving,” Pastor John reminds us that generosity is an opportunity, not an obligation. God invites us to excel in the grace of giving, shifting our perspective from duty to delight.
