You need only let down what defenses might be in place and see what wells up from inside you." - Will Glennon A. Kindness requires flexibility - Not focusing only on yourself, but dealing with others interruptions in your life. B. Kindness requires focus - not so much on tasks but on being a human being who interacts with other human beings. C. Yet, Kindness doesn't require much - You don't really have to overcome what you think you need to. Just be a listener and be aware. D. Kindness has a Butterfly Effect - The little things you do have huge, sometimes untraceable effects later on.nono00:31:40http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/04/08/2012-easter-sunday---two-days-once-story.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/04/08/2012-easter-sunday---two-days-once-story.aspx#Comments70c28005-5908-4604-9ea1-1b2178946639Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:33:54 GMTPastor Anita EastlackEaster Sunday - Two Days, Once Story - 4/8/121 Corinthians 15:3 "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."

You can't take that." c - You must make a decision at some point and ask, "Is there anything that you are unwilling to give to God, no matter what?" *Psalm 39 2) Trust without all the Details a - Even without knowing the reason God is asking, the outcome, the situation, direction, etc. b - What will you do and how will you view God when "surprises" come? c - Needing to know details is a sign of a lack of faith (How many times does the Lord need to come through before you will trust Him without questioning Him?) *Romans 8:28 3) Obedience without Delay a - Scripture says, "Early the NEXT morning, he went out..." *Hebrews 11:17-19 b - A counter example is Saul, being so impatient to sacrifice that he didn't obey and wait for the priest as God commanded. *I Samuel 15:22nono00:30:43http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/15/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---11512--cain--abel.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/15/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---11512--cain--abel.aspx#Comments8fff5fe0-4397-48ff-b3f2-e71a7e9e02acSun, 15 Jan 2012 17:42:41 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/15/12 (Cain &amp; Abel)Symptoms of a Half-Hearted Christian: 1) When worship is CAVALIER 2) When wisdom is IGNORED 3) When correction is REJECTEDnono00:35:55http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/08/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonshttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/08/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1.aspx#Comments04dd1166-2f32-420e-a604-a32b2aea3d07Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:02:25 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/8/12nono00:35:47http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/01/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1112.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2012/01/01/it-all-starts-here-a-look-at-the-people-of-genesis---1112.aspx#Comments91cc4db1-a911-48a0-ad67-9f3fbbae2be3Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:43:36 GMTPastor Anita EastlackIt All Starts Here: A Look at the People of Genesis - 1/1/121) Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created...," answers the questions of: A) Order: God is Creator and created in order. It was thoughtful and reflective (said, "It is good."). It was progressive, just as our faith is (II Cor. 5:13) B) Sovereignty: God is omnipotent and knows all. We have the gift and blessing of free will in making the micro decisions that play into His more sovereign, macro, plans and purposes. C) Nature: We are caretakers of creation and are to take this role seriously, but not to the degree that it injures or causes suffering to others. 2) Genesis 1:26, "God created male and female in His image," answers the questions of: A) Life & Death: Gen. 2:7 says that we were formed from dust and had the breath of God breathed into us. This shows the sanctity of human life as God brought plants and animals to life, but He put His own breath of spiritual life in humans B) Human Value: Not because of anything we can do or have done, but because of who made us. That is why we are valuable. Because we are God's creationnono00:18:06http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/25/the-tree-of-life-jesus---luke-2-122511-happy-birthday-jesus--merry-christmas.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/25/the-tree-of-life-jesus---luke-2-122511-happy-birthday-jesus--merry-christmas.aspx#Comments07f9c1bb-e56a-4337-93b6-c5e21bf9fe62Sun, 25 Dec 2011 17:12:03 GMTPastor Anita EastlackThe Tree of Life: Jesus - (Luke 2); 12/25/11 (Happy Birthday Jesus &amp; Merry Christmas!)3 Personal Testimoniesnono00:27:00http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/11/the-tree-of-life-ruth-god-is-a-god-of-open-arms-ruth-4-121111.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/11/the-tree-of-life-ruth-god-is-a-god-of-open-arms-ruth-4-121111.aspx#Commentsfd98a91f-ba99-406e-9d02-fa816d516128Sun, 11 Dec 2011 18:03:04 GMTPastor Anita EastlackThe Tree of Life: Ruth; God is a God of Open Arms (Ruth 4) - 12/11/114 Signs of the Redeemed 1) Unconditionally Loved (Redeemed; must settle this in your heart, that you are loved by God no matter what) vs. Earned Love (Religious; says that you must be "good enough" to get approval) 2) Humility (Redeemed; the view that there are only repentant people and non-repentant people) vs. Pride (Religious; the view that there are only good people and bad people) 3) Belong to an everlasting spiritual family (Redeemed; born of the Spirit; attitude towards breaking down barriers) vs. Belonging to the natural family (Religious; born of the flesh; attitude of belonging to the "Inner Circle") 4) Freedom to Love (Redeemed; Laws are fulfilled in Loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, & strength and your neighbor as yourself) vs. Enslavement to Laws (Religious; Too many to adhere to by themselves and amounts to "filthy rags" if this is all we aim for)nono00:41:32http://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/04/the-tree-of-life-tamar-god-is-a-vindicating-god-gen-38---12411.aspx?ref=rssThe Vine Community Church<font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><font style="font-size: 12px;"></font><br>Sermonhttp://sermons.thevine-church.net/2011/12/04/the-tree-of-life-tamar-god-is-a-vindicating-god-gen-38---12411.aspx#Comments7bffffd0-1a27-4698-b0ca-f5ddf21dd979Sun, 04 Dec 2011 17:33:42 GMTPastor Anita EastlackThe Tree of Life: Tamar; God is a Vindicating God (Gen. 38) - 12/4/111) God's Plan is Perfect 2) God's Plan will Prevail 3) God's Plan brings value to our lives 4) Therefore, trust God's Plan (Love God)nono00:34:08
