An encounter with God changes how we view Him, the world and ourselves, allowing us to be living wells for His living water. An encounter with God, through Jesus, changes everything. It enables us to connect with His heart, to see ourselves the way He sees us and to hold and dispense His living water.

On the Day of Pentecost Peter preached a powerful message that expressed five convictions that he and we must have to effectively be a New Testament church.

Just before Jesus ascended He spoke to His followers for the last time. What did He tell them? What final instructions did He give them?

When Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her about the birth of Jesus he also told her what Jesus was supposed to do in life. Mary pondered those words in her heart. In this message we look at what she might have imagined that Jesus would become and then see how her vision for Him died at the crucifixion but was resurrected when Jesus rose from the dead. The same thing happens in our lives. The Death & Resurrection of a Vision Pastor Mike Baker Sunday, May 14, 2023 www.vffchurch.org **All songs used by permission via CCLI**

In order for us to progress in our walk with God and fulfill His purpose in our lives we have to grow and change. A shift is necessary for that to happen.

The weapon that the enemy tried to use against Jesus was to question His identity. The same is true for us. We must know who we are in Christ. We are the focus of God’s love. We cannot allow our past to dictate how we believe God sees us. Knowing Who We Are Pastor Mike Baker Sunday, April 30, 2023 www.vffchurch.org **All songs used by permission via CCLI**

The weapon that the enemy tried to use against Jesus was to question His identity. “If you are the son of God.” If he couldn’t get Jesus to doubt His identity he tried to get Him to go against His mission. The same is true for us. We must know who we are in Christ. Established in Our Identity Pastor Mike Baker Sunday, April 23, 2023 www.vffchurch.org **All songs used by permission via CCLI**

Breathing means that we are alive. After the crucifixion of Jesus the disciples lock themselves in a room in fear. Jesus appears to them and breathes on them and they are born again. The breath of God changed their lives. We need to breathe in God’s presence daily.

After the crucifixion of Jesus everything looked hopeless to the disciples. Jesus was buried in a tomb and behind a stone. No matter how bad things look you cannot stop God. The Death of Death Pastor Mike Baker Sunday, April 9, 2023 www.vffchurch.org **All songs used by permission via CCLI**

God wants to do something new in each generation. The older generation is important in the process of passing down our faith and preparing the next generation for their new move of God. In this message we look at hindrances to that process. This New Generation Pastor Mike Baker Sunday, February 19, 2023 www.vffchurch.org **All songs used by permission via CCLI**

Jesus said that He will build His church. Peter says that the church is made up of living stones that are built together to make the church. In this sermon we talk about what it means to be a living stone and how we are to relate to one another.

Worship casts up a highway for the presence of God to come into our services. What does the manifest presence of God look like? In this message we look at how to prepare for the presence of God but also ways that the presence of God is on display.

There are 2 questions that every human asks themselves at some point in their life. 1) Who am I? 2) What am I doing here? Within the pages of the Bible, these questions are answered over and over again. Join us as we discuss some of those answers together. Who Am I & What Am I Doing Here?

King David had such a heart for the presence of God. When he became king one of his first acts was to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. He led the procession with extravagant praise. He placed the Ark in a tent which allowed all the Levites to have access to the presence of God and established worship. His heart and actions are a pattern for the church today.

The enemy is always trying to stop what God wants to do. One of the biggest hindrances is when the mindset of the world makes its way into the church. We look at four wrong mindsets that we must guard against.

This is the first Sunday of 2023. It is the opportunity to make adjustments in our lives that will help propel us into the new that God has for us. We have to let go of the past and press into the future because God has something new for us.

The birth of Jesus is the event that splits history. Into the dark night of the world dawned the beginning of a new day. Dawn comes on gradually. Although nothing seemed to change the night Jesus was born the day unfolded to a day of great light. The same happens for us.

There is power in a name. In this sermon we look at three characters in the Christmas account and the meanings of their names. Those characters are Joseph, Mary and Jesus.
