Bay Vineyard Sermon Audio

In this talk, Sam explores the great commission, reminding us that we are part of God’s grand story of redemption and are called to join His mission in the world. Drawing on voices like N. T. Wright and Malcolm Guite, it challenges the church to move beyond fear, rediscover its identity, and live with both compassion and conviction as we make disciples. It’s a call to encounter Jesus, overcome our doubts and insecurities, and step boldly into sharing faith through prayer, invitation, and everyday witness.

Sam recalls the story of resurrection from Matthew's gospel, and its significance for us today!

This Palm Sunday message explores how Jesus Christ enters Jerusalem not as a conquering king on a war horse, but as a humble servant on a donkey, revealing a Kingdom built on self-giving love rather than power and violence. It challenges us to examine our expectations of Jesus and choose faithful devotion to His upside-down Kingdom, even when He doesn’t meet our desires or timelines.

Guest speaker Dan Sheed continues the Drift no More series and explores the idea of being tethered to the gospel, with "ketching" anchor points along the way.

Drawing on the work of James K.A. Smith, Sam explores how healthy and holy habits that help us stay connected to Jesus and his community enable us to be tethered in our faith
