What if your money could talk? What would it say about your priorities, your faith, and the way you're living?In Money Talks, we look at one of Jesus' most surprising stories about money and discover that our finances reveal much more than what we can afford—they reveal what we value.Jesus teaches us that money can add meaning to life, but it is not the meaning of life. Our resources are an opportunity to make a difference, invest in people, and create stories that last far beyond the things we can buy.Through Luke 16, we'll explore three important questions:Are you using money to accumulate stuff or create stories that last?Are you being faithful with what you have right now?Are you serving God—or are you being controlled by money?Whether you're doing well financially, struggling to make ends meet, or somewhere in between, this message offers a different way to think about money—one rooted in generosity, faithfulness, and eternal purpose.If your money could give you a report card today, what grade would you get?Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch...

Have you ever had a season where you thought, “I had hoped…”—but things didn't turn out the way you expected?In the final week of MODGNIK, we look at the “K” in our upside-down Kingdom: King on a Cross.In Luke 24, two followers of Jesus are walking home after His crucifixion. Their dreams are over. Their hope is gone. But what they don't realize is that Jesus is walking right beside them.Maybe you've been there too.You had hoped your marriage would work out.You had hoped the job would come through.You had hoped your health would improve.You had hoped things would be different by now.But the story isn't over.Jesus meets these two disciples in the middle of their disappointment, walks with them, listens to them, and ultimately restores their hope. And He does the same for us.You don't have to clean up your life before you come to Jesus. You simply have to let Him in.Your King went to the cross to take your sin—and He still meets you in the middle of your doubt, disappointment, and uncertainty.If you've lost hope, it's not too late.Jesus is still knocking. Will you let Him in?Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch... FOLLOW US Facebook / thevillagechristianchurch Instagram / villagechristianchurch

What if God isn’t looking for a better version of you, but the real you? In Week 5 of MODGNIK, we explore the “I” in our upside-down Kingdom: Inviting. Jesus consistently welcomed people others overlooked, valued authenticity over appearances, and made it clear that everyone has a place in His Kingdom. Through stories from Luke 18, we discover a powerful truth: God responds to real. You don’t need the perfect prayer. You don’t need to have your life figured out. You don’t need to look like you have it all together. You can come to God exactly as you are—with your questions, struggles, doubts, hopes, and need for help. And because we've experienced that kind of welcome, we're called to extend it to others. This week, who can you invite? • Someone who doesn't think they measure up. • Someone who needs help. • Someone who needs to know Jesus. • Someone who simply needs to know they belong. The Kingdom of God is upside down and there is room for you!Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch...

What if the key to a fuller, more meaningful life isn't getting more, but giving more?In this message from our MODGNIK series, we explore Jesus' radically different approach to greatness, service, and generosity. While the world tells us to put ourselves first, Jesus invites us to descend into greatness by serving others and letting generosity flow through every part of our lives.We’ll look at what it means to be generous with our time, talents, and treasure, and discover why Jesus says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”Generosity isn't simply about money. It's about becoming the kind of person who uses what God has given us to love people, serve others, and make a difference.What could change in your life if generosity became a way of living—not just something you occasionally do?Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch...

Does prayer make you nervous? Maybe you’re not sure what to say, how to pray, or whether you’re even doing it right.What if prayer isn’t about finding the perfect words—but about learning to listen?In this message, we look at the story of Samuel and discover three simple ways to rethink prayer: start by listening, find a place to pray, and focus less on getting God to do what you want and more on discovering what He wants you to do.Prayer isn’t about performing for God or having all the answers. It’s an invitation to slow down, listen, share your heart, and allow God’s peace to shape your heart and mind.If you’ve ever wondered how to pray—or simply want to grow in your prayer life—this message is for you.Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening.Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch... FOLLOW US Facebook / thevillagechristianchurch Instagram / villagechristianchurch
