Village Church of Lincolnshire Podcast

It’s easy to see what needs to change in someone else. But what happens when we take an honest look at ourselves?

In “Take a Look at Yourself,” Seth Williams explores Matthew 7:1–6 and Jesus’ words about judgment, hypocrisy, and grace. Jesus calls us to examine our own hearts, turn from our sin, and help others with humility and gentleness.

The more clearly we recognize the grace we’ve received, the more graciously we’ll treat the people around us.

The Savory Life Series: God's Good | Matthew 6:25–34

What keeps you awake at night? The uncertainty of tomorrow? Financial pressures? Family concerns? The fear of things beyond your control?

Worry has a way of stealing today's joy by filling our hearts with tomorrow's troubles. But in Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus invites us to experience something different: a life rooted in confidence in God's goodness.

In this message from Village Church of Lincolnshire, we explore three powerful truths that help us overcome worry:

1. God values you and notices you. You are never overlooked or forgotten by your Heavenly Father.

2. Put God's Kingdom first. When we pursue His righteousness above everything else, we learn to trust His provision.

3. Be relentless about rooting out worry. Through worship, thanksgiving, remembering God's promises, and taking steps of obedience, we can learn to replace fear with faith.

Jesus never promised a life without struggles, but He reminds us that we never face those struggles alone.

Big Idea: Trusting God's goodness helps us eliminate the need to worry.

Reaching across generations, inviting all to live in Christ's love.

In this sermon we launch back into the Sermon on the Mount series from spring 2026. This series, picking up in Matthew 6:19-24 is called, The Savory Life: It Just Tastes Better... Enjoy as we dive into this message on True Wealth

What does it mean to be a courageous witness for Jesus? Sharing our faith isn’t simply about knowing the right words—it’s about helping others see how the story of Christ connects with their own story. In this message, we’ll explore how God calls us to boldly and lovingly share the hope we have in Jesus, trusting Him to work through our lives and conversations. Our God is worthy of courageous witnesses who make His love known.

This week we’ll join together as we worship the One who has given us His Word! Let’s listen to God’s Word and hear how it is God’s revelation of Himself, that we may know Him as He is!

In this message, we look at one of the most fascinating interactions between God and one of His servants and discover what it teaches us about participating with God through prayer. We see that prayer is more than simply bringing our requests to God—it is an invitation to draw near, trust His heart, and join Him in what He is doing. After all, we are called to be Faithful in Prayer!

We begin a series titled, Making a Place at the Table. We are thankful for the new sense of mission and vision the Lord has given us. As we think about who God made us to be, we need to be a people who make room for others. Like those the Lord told to invite all to the Kingdom Table, we will give our lives to that same task!

Scripture reminds us that the spiritual battle is real—but as followers of Jesus, we aren’t fighting for victory. We’re fighting from a position of victory that Christ has already won.

In this message, Pastor Jim Renke walks us through what the Bible teaches about spiritual warfare, the enemy we face, and how we can stand firm in the victory Jesus has already secured.

The battle is real. The enemy is real. But so is the victory.

Join us as we discover how to live faithfully and confidently in the victory we already have in Christ.

In this message from our Sticking Points series, Pastor Jim Renke takes us into one of the most sobering teachings of Scripture: the reality of an eternal destiny for those who reject Christ.

What does it mean to reject Christ? Why is that rejection so serious? Through Scripture, Pastor Jim explores the eternal consequences of faithlessness and self-will while pointing us toward the hope found in Jesus Christ.

May this message help you find hope in Christ—or renew the hope you already have in Him.
