Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 1:31 “Boast in Jesus” is one of those churchy exhortations that we Christians often toss around without much thought. What does it mean? Is it redirecting all compliments to God? Is it acknowledging God after touchdowns and during acceptance speeches? Is it a statement stamped on our money? These common forms of boasting in the Lord often (though perhaps not always) amount to empty lip service. Here are six ways to get beyond mere words: 1) RECOGNIZE THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS. In the context of 1 Corinthians 1:31, Paul discourages the Corinthians from deriving their self-worth from personal achievements and crediting their salvation to their own lovableness. Jesus is the source and sum of everything; we are not. This compels us to live a life marked by grace and humility. 2) ENJOY ACCOMPLISHMENTS BUT DON’T TAKE THE GLORY. God created us to work, and there’s a holy satisfaction in a job well done. In fact, Jesus wants us to do a good job (Matt. 25:21). Problems arise, however, when we begin to derive our value, identity, and security from our accomplishments. We drift from dependence on God to reliance on self. 3) LEARN FROM DISAPPOINTMENTS BUT DON’T DWELL ON THEM. Conversely, when we fail or when life gets hard, we can boast in God by trusting in him. Dwelling on disappointment reveals a faith vested in whatever was lost rather than a faith planted in the infallible God. 4) SEEK AND PRACTICE HUMILITY AND REPENTANCE. We will all take credit we don’t deserve. We will all pout over disappointment. We will all get caught chasing our own glory rather than God’s. This is not an excuse but rather cause for true humility (not the lip service kind) and ongoing repentance, which keeps us close to Jesus and his life and death on our behalf. 5) REDEEM THE GIFTS, DESIRES, AND PASSIONS YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN. Maybe God blessed you with incredible talent, extensive wealth, a keen mind, etc. Think about how to use these gifts for the Kingdom. This could simply be doing what you do with excellence and then faithfully stewarding the influence, relationships, and resources God grants you, or it could be more specifically applying your gifts to the work of ministry. 6) EMBRACE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE WORK AND MISSION OF JESUS. Give, serve, and become a member at your church. Be hospitable to your neighbors and share the life and things God has given to you. Talk about his work in your life. Invite others to know him. Live generously and show that your hope, your confidence, your worth—your boast—is in Jesus. By Jameie Munson – Repriinted from Resuregence

Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 1:31 “Boast in Jesus” is one of those churchy exhortations that we Christians often toss around without much thought. What does it mean?

Who are we?
1
We are a community of believers; followers of Jesus Christ.
2
3
Our history is rooted in the “Vineyard” (not a real one – but check out our website for more info) and in 1984 we the first Vineyard Church in Canada – pioneered through the leadership of Gary & Joy Best along with a few other friends.

5
There's nothing fancy or slick about us. We gather as a group in a simple, informal atmosphere… and not just here in church – more often in each others homes. We have fun because we value the life Christ has given us – so we believe that church should be enjoyable.

7
This simply is our desire –

Taken from Romans 12:9-21- The Message

Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody. Don't hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you've got it in you, get along with everybody. Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. "I'll do the judging," says God. "I'll take Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
Stick around and get to know us. We’d like to get to know you!
