    Participating: Strength in Weakness

    Continuing the Lenten series "Participating," Hannah Engebretson explores how we navigate the "thorns" in our lives—those persistent points of pain, weakness, or affliction that we desperately want removed. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, Hannah looks at the Apostle Paul's experience of pleading with God for relief, only to receive the answer: "My grace is sufficient for you." By reflecting on her own season of physical brokenness and the "suffering of God" found in the Lenten journey, she challenges the idea that we must be "fixed" to be useful to the Kingdom. Instead, she invites us to participate in God's grace by re-engaging with our stories and trusting that His power is made perfect not in our competence, but in our weakness.

    Participating: The Weight of the Cross

    Continuing in the "Participating" series and the season of Lent, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores the difficult invitation to participate in the suffering of Christ. Using a humorous story about "yak milk" in Nepal to illustrate how we often expect one thing but receive another, Scott dives into the story of Simon of Cyrene from Luke 23. He discusses the reality that the "cross" is often something forced upon us unexpectedly—through grief, health crises, or brokenness—rather than something we choose. Drawing from the prayers of Jesus in Gethsemane, Scott encourages the community to move from "not my will" to "your will be done," reminding us that while we don't choose the moment of our suffering, we can choose to participate in its redeeming power.

    Participating: In the Midst of Trouble

    Continuing the "Participating" series during Lent, Pastor Scott Engebretson uses the survival show Alone as a backdrop to discuss how we navigate the "wilderness" of life's hardships. Drawing from John 16, Scott explores the inevitable "labor pains" of the world and how Jesus prepares his disciples for the trouble ahead. He highlights three ways we are called to participate when life gets hard: by waiting faithfully, by weeping and mourning honestly rather than bypassing pain, and by resisting the urge to scatter or isolate. Ultimately, Scott reminds us that because Jesus has overcome the world, we never have to navigate our physical, spiritual, or emotional troubles alone.

    Participating: The Way Out of the Wilderness

    Kicking off the new series, "Participating," and entering the season of Lent, Pastor Scott Engebretson looks at the reality of temptation and the "death spirals" we often find ourselves in. Using the story of Jesus in the wilderness from Luke 4:1-13, Scott highlights how the enemy targets our most basic needs, our desire for protection, and our hunger for power. He explores how Jesus resisted these temptations not through sheer willpower, but by being led by the Spirit and anchored in Scripture. Scott invites the community to participate in the new life Jesus offers—reminding us that while the enemy tempted Jesus to throw Himself down for show, Jesus chose to lay Himself down in Jerusalem to seek and save the lost.

    You Are Here: Cultivating a Hunger for Prayer

    In the concluding episode of the "You Are Here" series, Pastor Scott Engebretson discusses how we navigate the distance between where we currently are and where we want to be as a community. Using the analogy of "You Are Here" maps found in malls and airports, Scott highlights the importance of spiritual orientation. He shares a personal conviction that God is inviting Northwest Vineyard into a season of deeper intimacy through prayer. Exploring Luke 11:1-13, Scott breaks down the Lord's Prayer not just as words to recite, but as a framework for honoring God as Father, Provider, and Forgiver. As the church prepares to transition into the season of Lent, listeners are challenged to cultivate a persistent hunger for God's presence, remembering that no person is greater than their prayer life.

    You Are Here: Stepping into the Flow

    In the third week of the "You Are Here" series, Pastor Scott Engebretson shifts the focus from the communal church to the individual, asking the challenging question: "Where have you dammed up your life?". Using the history of dams as a metaphor, Scott explores how we often inadvertently cut off the flow of God's presence, leading to spiritual stagnation. He emphasizes that your personal life with God is vital to the health of the entire community. Drawing from Acts 2 and 1 Peter 1, Scott discusses the "means of grace"—outward actions like teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer that God has defined for us to meet Him. Likening God's grace to a shower head that is always running, he invites listeners to stop standing on the sidelines and intentionally step into the flow to be cleansed, refreshed, and revived.

    You Are Here: The Work of the People

    Continuing the "You Are Here" series, guest speaker RJ Owen—a User Experience Designer by trade—explores the concept of liturgy, literally defined as "the work of the people". Using a humorous illustration of a confusing "high-design" bathroom sink, RJ argues that while the Vineyard is a "low church" with a thin, variable liturgy, we still participate in a set of inherited practices. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14, he examines how the Apostle Paul instructed the chaotic Corinthian church to balance spiritual gifts with order. RJ challenges the idea that we must feel "inspired" to worship authentically, suggesting instead that we "do the reps" of church life—singing, listening, and praying even when we don't feel like it—to transform our hearts into places that can truly receive the love of God.

    You Are Here: Rhythms of Grace

    Kicking off a new series titled "You Are Here," Pastor Scott Engebretson explores our identity as a local church within the broader "universal" church. Using the analogy of a "You Are Here" map, Scott explains that while we inhabit a specific time and place in Broomfield, Colorado, we are part of a much larger story that spans centuries. Drawing from Exodus 25and the specific instructions for the Tabernacle, he highlights how God uses "Sacred Space," "Sacred People," and "Sacred Time" to meet us. Scott invites the congregation to move beyond viewing church as a consumer product and instead embrace it as a Sacred Assembly—participating in rhythms like morning prayer and the church calendar not as burdensome demands, but as life-giving invitations into God's grace.
