The Cambridge Vineyard Podcast

Last week we were reminded that we are deeply loved by the Father. This week, Glen asks an honest question: What would change if we actually lived as though we believed it?So often we slip into performance, believing we have to earn God's approval through what we do. But the gospel tells a different story. Because of Christ, we already belong. We no longer serve God from obligation, but from love. What once felt like "I have to" becomes "I get to."As we receive the Father's love more deeply, our lives begin to change, not because we're trying harder, but because His grace is transforming us from the inside out.We would love to hear your story!

This Father's Day, Brandon reflects on the heart of the Father revealed through Jesus and what it means to live from a place of being deeply loved. Rather than striving for approval, he emphasizes the reality that we are already accepted as sons and daughters.He speaks about how many men carry pressure to perform, provide, and prove their worth, often believing their value is tied to what they do rather than who they are. Brandon highlights the importance of breaking free from that mindset and learning to receive love without condition. He challenges men to embrace vulnerability, to lead from a place of security in the Father's love, and to model a different kind of strength, one rooted in identity, not achievement.As the Holy Spirit reveals the Father's true nature, we are freed from fear, performance, and orphan thinking into a life grounded in belonging and intimacy. Living from that place changes how we relate to God, ourselves, and others, shaping a life that reflects His love over time. The long Game of Love.We would love to hear your story!

Resurrection life invites us into a different way of seeing. Through the living hope of 1 Peter and the challenge of Matthew 25, we are reminded that the kingdom of God is not something distant we wait for, but an inheritance we are called to live from today. Jesus meets us in the hungry, the thirsty, the lonely, and the overlooked. The places the world avoids are often the very places where the treasures of the kingdom are hidden. As we learn to listen well, love generously, and hold every person as sacred, resurrection life begins to overflow through ordinary acts of grace.We are invited into the Kingdom to inherit it and to reveal it.Camp in This Week:1 Peter 1 Matthew 25:31–46 We would love to hear your story!

Psalm 23 reminds us that resurrection life begins with knowing the Shepherd. He is the One who leads, restores, guides, protects, prepares, anoints, and shelters. Even when we walk through valleys, we are not abandoned. We are accompanied. Too often we live from a place of lack, fear, striving, or uncertainty. But the invitation of resurrection life is to rest in the truth that He is with us. As we learn to trust His gentle leading, we discover that we lack nothing, we are not alone, and His goodness and kindness continue to pursue us. We would love to hear your story!

As we continue our journey through the Resurrection Life series, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts. We see that resurrection is not only about what Jesus has done for us, but about what He longs to awaken within us now. A soft heart remains open to compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and love. A hardened heart can restrict the flow of resurrection life. As we stay close to Jesus, He gently removes what has become calloused and restores us to wholehearted love for God and for one another.When we choose grace over judgment, compassion over self-protection, and connection over isolation, resurrection life begins to flow freely through us once again.Camp in This Week:Ezekiel 36–37 Matthew 25 1 Peter We would love to hear your story!

FILLED. THRILLED and SPILLED! Pam shares from her own journey of trusting God through seasons of uncertainty and discovering His extravagant generosity. From miraculous provision to simple acts of kindness, she reminds us that generosity is not primarily about money, but about a heart shaped by the abundant love of God.As we receive His lavish grace, we are invited to make space to be interrupted, to see the people in front of us, and to let the love of Jesus overflow through every part of our lives.Filled by His abundance, thrilled by His goodness, and spilled out for Jesus.We would love to hear your story!

We’ve been tracing resurrection, not just what Jesus did, but what His rising means for us now. Through Lazarus, the virgins, and the wedding feast, we’re being reminded that we’ve all been given a lamp, but the oil comes through intimacy. And it’s easy to drift. Distraction, distance, and even good things can quietly pull us away from the table that’s been set for us.The invitation is still open.Like Jonah, we can run, resist, or make excuses. But even there, God is still drawing us back, not to pressure us, but to bring us into life again.So we return. We make space. We come close.Because it’s in His presence that the oil is restored, and from that place, we are called to rise.-------------------------------Scriptures to reflect on for next week: Jonah (entire book)We would love to hear your story!

Last year, we learned that in quietness and rest, strength arises. That hasn’t changed. But something is happening in that quiet place. He is leading us, gently but firmly, into something new, an awakening to life, to Arise and Shine.We are learning to stay close to Jesus, yoked to Him. And yet many of us are feeling a heaviness, a sense of despondency, a loss of hope, a dryness. That’s real, and it matters, but we don’t stop there.We remember the cross, but often forget the resurrection.Jesus didn’t only die, He rose. And His rising is meant to awaken something in us now. God is still bringing things back to life.So we let hunger grow. We let thirst deepen. Because if we’re not hungry, we won’t eat. If we’re not thirsty, we won’t drink. Let the dryness drive your roots deeper.This week, we’re invited to camp in:Matthew 22 (The Wedding Banquet) Luke 14 (The Great Banquet)We would love to hear your story!

We know the story. He rose.But somewhere in the quiet rhythms of our days, that truth can feel far away.We carry what feels heavy. We return to what feels familiar. We settle into patterns that don’t look like life. And still... He is not distant.He stands at the edge of every place that feels worn, every space that feels dim, every part of us that feels like it’s slipping. Not asking to be remembered, but welcomed.Resurrection isn’t behind us. It’s here, waiting to take root. So where is He inviting you to let life rise?He is risen… now let Him rise in you.We would love to hear your story!

There are seasons where we experience moments of joy, breakthrough, and answered prayer, but then life shifts. Things don’t unfold the way we expected. Disappointment comes. Shaking comes. And in those moments, it’s easy to lose sight of Jesus, just like the disciples did.They saw the miracles. They walked with Him. They believed… until everything changed.The invitation for us is not to avoid those moments, but to recognize Him in them.When fear rises, when confusion sets in, when prayers seem unanswered, Jesus still speaks the same words: “Take courage. It is I. Don’t be afraid.”Courage is not something we either have or don’t have. It’s something we choose.And that choice is built through a history of trusting Him, remembering His faithfulness, and holding onto who He is, even when we don’t understand what He’s doing.Our faith will be tested. Not to break us, but to reveal what we truly believe.We would love to hear your story!

In Luke 1:67,  He declares that redemption has already been accomplished… before Jesus has even gone to the cross.  Past tense. Already done.If that’s true, then why are we still living as though we’re not free?We’ve learned how to relate to Him through fear, but He never asked for that. He’s inviting us into a relationship without fear, where holiness and righteousness aren’t something we strive for, but something we’ve already been given. So why do we still hesitate? Why do we hold back, hide, or shrink?Because fear still shapes how we live, how we pray, and how we show up.But there’s another reality: there is no tear left in the fabric of who you are. What He’s done has already made you whole.So the invitation is simple, but not easy: shake off the fear, step forward, and live from what’s already been finished.We would love to hear your story!

What happens when the voices of failure, worthlessness, and rejection get louder than truth?In this deeply personal message, Rob shares his journey through years of depression, disappointment, and identity loss, and how God met him right in the middle of it. Through unexpected moments, quiet faithfulness, and powerful encounters with the Father’s love, everything began to shift.This is his story of rediscovery, not just of purpose, but of identity, intimacy, and belonging.Because the turning point wasn’t performance…It was encountering a God who says: you are already loved.You are not your past. You are not the voices. You are not what didn’t work out. You ARE beloved!We would love to hear your story!

I was struck by the reality that God remembers the prayers we’ve forgotten. Even the ones we stopped praying long ago, He still hears, He still holds, and He still responds.Prayer isn’t meant to be something intimidating or distant. It’s an invitation to come close, to be joined with Him again, morning and evening. To seek, to listen, to receive instruction, and then to return at the end of the day in conversation and fellowship.This is the pattern we were created for, from the garden to the tabernacle to now. Not striving, not performing, but living from relationship. When we come to Him like this, our hearts are realigned, our burdens are lifted, and we begin to live from the place of being held, not holding everything together ourselves.“Come to me in the morning, and come to me in the evening.” We would love to hear your story!

This message is an invitation to rediscover why we were created in the first place. Not just what we’ve been saved from, but what we’ve been saved for.From the garden to the cross, God’s heart has always been union, family, and friendship. A life where we are fully known, fully loved, and free from striving, performance, and religious fear. As we learn to see God rightly, we begin to see ourselves rightly, as sons and daughters, not orphans.Jesus doesn’t just rescue us from sin, he restores us to intimacy. He invites us to linger, to let Him love us, to become fascinated again, and to live from a place of belonging rather than effort. This is the Edenic life we were designed for, a life of union, authenticity, and delight with God, here and now.We would love to hear your story!

An invitation into Powerlessness -  Strength Through Weakness Jesus invites us into a way of life that looks nothing like the world’s understanding of power. Again and again in the gospel, life is not found through control, competence, or winning, but through weakness, dependence, and trust.Scripture points to a kingdom where God’s presence is revealed most clearly in places of powerlessness. Jesus does not conquer as a lion in the way we expect, but as a Lamb who lays His power down in love. It is through this surrender that true authority and life are released.This invitation is not about being retraumatized or stripped unwillingly, but about choosing to lay power down from a place of secure belonging. God meets us in these places, and through them, His life flows to us and to those around us.We would love to hear your story!

I felt the Lord draw my attention to one simple but confronting truth, where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. As we approach a new year, the question isn’t what we plan to improve, but what we are actually investing ourselves in day by day.What we watch for, reach for first, and give our attention to in the mundane reveals what is shaping us. When presence becomes secondary, our hearts quietly drift, even if our intentions are good. This is an invitation to take an honest inventory of our firsts, lay them down before Jesus, and allow Him to reorder what matters, because His presence is the true treasure and the only thing that can carry us into what’s ahead.We would love to hear your story!

Love is not an idea, it is a person, and His love is deeply personal. God does not love humanity in general, He loves you specifically, uniquely, and relentlessly. His love is not static, it is growing, moment by moment, tailored exactly to who you are.He knows you, He delights in you, and He desires to live with you. As we learn to rest in His presence, to dine at His table, and to let His love fill every unmet place, we become carriers of His presence to a broken world.This is where victory is found, not in avoiding suffering, but in knowing we are never alone. His love goes deeper than our pain, stronger than our fear, and closer than our breath. We would love to hear your story!

Today we sat with joy, not as happiness, but as something deeper, resilient, and anchored in presence. Joy isn’t the absence of struggle, it’s what emerges when we recognize we are not alone in it. When fear and anxiety try to lead in moments of uncertainty, joy comes from yielding again to Jesus as our Shepherd.True joy grows when we allow God to lead us through what we cannot see, trusting His presence in the rocking and the unknown. It is formed through watching, preparing, and choosing to rejoice even when the path feels unstable. In His presence there is fullness of joy, a joy that steadies us, restores us, and reshapes how we live, love, and move through the world.We would love to hear your story!

   Advent is not just about remembering what has come, it’s about paying attention to what is forming in us now. To watch, to prepare, to rejoice, and to behold, not as ideas, but as practices that shape who we are becoming. What we give our attention to is what builds the inner temple of our lives.Jesus reminds us that everything hangs on love, love for God and love for others. When we watch what God is doing, prepare our hearts, choose joy, and truly behold Him, something solid is formed within us. Advent asks us to slow down, lift our eyes, and allow Christ to dwell more fully in us, shaping our hearts, our relationships, and the way we move through the world.We would love to hear your story!

   Lack is a cruel taskmaster. It drives anxiety, fuels striving, and keeps us chasing scraps instead of coming to the source of life. When we believe something is missing, we start running to anything that promises relief, distraction, or control, but it never satisfies, it only deepens the hunger. Scripture keeps pointing us back to the same truth, Jesus. When He is the one shepherding us, we lack nothing. Rest replaces striving, peace steadies the soul, and fear loses its grip. The question isn’t just what you’re lacking, but who you’re allowing to lead you. Without Him, everything we chase becomes empty. With Him, we find ourselves sustained, satisfied, and held.We would love to hear your story!

   This week I’m still camping in John chapter one, and the word that stopped me this time was behold. Beholding is not passive. It is choosing to stop, to turn my attention, and to yield my time and my inner posture to God. In Scripture, behold always comes with provision, something God gives that we cannot produce through our own effort.I unpack how beholding begins in humility, open hands, and waiting, and how that waiting becomes transformation. When we make space for the Holy Spirit, He straightens what is bent, brings rest where there has been striving, and produces fruit that effort never could. Beholding is how grace meets us, how freedom breaks in, and how we learn to stand upright, rooted in who God says we are.We would love to hear your story!

 This fall, I keep hearing the same invitation from Jesus, come to me. In John 1, He turns to the first disciples and asks, what do you seek, and that question has been working on my heart. In this message, I share some of my own “false comforts” and distractions, the places I run to when I am tired or overwhelmed, and how they never actually give what my heart is really looking for.We walk through the calling stories in John 1, the repeated theme of being found, and the way Jesus sees Nathaniel under the fig tree before Nathaniel ever sees Him. Brandon shares the story of losing, and then finding, his brother Colin at the fair, as a living picture of the Father’s determined love. What does  it mean to be truly seen, truly found, and to respond again to Jesus’ simple invitation, come and see?We would love to hear your story!

 Jesus’ first question to His followers was simple and disruptive, what are you seeking? This message looks at that question through John 1 and Mary’s response in Luke 1, where the soul magnifies and the spirit rejoices. We talk about how easily our desires drift, how quickly our attention magnifies the wrong things, and how Jesus invites us out of striving and into His easy yoke. Through stories of encounter, honest reflection, and the practical call to “come and see,” this teaching invites us to lay down what exhausts us and step into the rest, clarity, and companionship found in Him.We would love to hear your story!

     This Sunday, we welcome Shaina Gomes as our guest speaker.Throughout our Summer Voices series, we’ve been building on the foundation that God is our friend and He is completely trustworthy. But knowing this is not the end of the story…it’s the beginning! The question now is, how will we respond? Following Jesus was never meant to be passive, it’s a call to action, a call to live with intention. This week, we’ll look at what it really means to “live life on purpose” and explore practical ways to align our everyday choices with the life Jesus is calling us into as we walk with Him. Try this weekName the competing voices in one decision, then choose the one that sounds like JesusRead a short passage daily, note what it shows about God’s characterTake one concrete step that aligns with loveKey scriptures: Genesis 3, Genesis 22 and 26, Deuteronomy 1, Deuteronomy 6, Deuteronomy 9We would love to hear your story!

Beyond Words: Grace and SovereigntyGrace and sovereignty meet in the tension of the kingdom already here and not yet. David fasted for his child, then worshiped when the child died. Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, “not my will, but yours be done.” We too live in this place—praying for the sick, serving the poor, trusting God even when outcomes don’t make sense. His mercy flows freely, and our call is to receive it, share it, and follow where He leads. When we stumble, grace restores us and reminds us He knows what He’s doing.We would love to hear your story!

Floating in God’s Love: The Freedom of SurrenderGuest Speaker Art RaeThis week, Art Rae invites us into a simple yet profound truth: that we are unconditionally loved by God, and the Christian life is about learning to live from that love. Like floating in a river:  Art explores how surrendering to God is like lying back and letting His current carry us—freeing us from striving, fear, and control.He reminds us that God isn’t asking us to earn His love or force outcomes but to trust Him, even when we feel stuck or uncertain. Each of us is invited to listen for that one thing the Spirit is speaking today—letting it take root so we can walk in greater peace, trust, and freedom.We would love to hear your story!

Seen, Known, and Needed: Equipped for the Work, Called to Be You! This week, Glen Nyhus steps in with a deeply honest and thoughtful reflection on Ephesians 4, drawing from personal stories, scripture, and his own journey of learning to see the church—and himself—differently.What if the church isn't a perfect place or a show to watch, but a living, breathing community where God’s wisdom is displayed in all its messy, beautiful variety? Glen explores how we often default to passivity or comparison, trying to fit into someone else’s spiritual mold, when in fact God is calling each of us to be fully ourselves. We’re not meant to replicate others’ gifts—we’re meant to live into our own, because each part does its own special work, helping the whole body grow in love.Glen challenges us to release unrealistic expectations, embrace our unique callings, and trust that God is actively at work in us now—not just in some idealized future. You are already on God’s poster wall—not for being perfect, but for being you.We would love to hear your story!

Out of the Shadows – Keys to the KingdomIn this message, Tabitha Fellman leads us deeper into Matthew 16, exploring what it means to carry the keys of the Kingdom. These aren't just metaphors—they represent access, authority, and identity rooted in Christ. We are invited into the sacred space of stillness where spiritual revelation is received, not earned.She unpacks how salvation begins with confession and belief, how revelation by the Spirit becomes our first key, and how our identity in Christ builds a foundation stronger than any storm. Through it all, she reminds us that heaven isn’t distant—it’s near, and so are the doors Christ has unlocked for us.It’s time to reclaim what’s yours. Walk boldly. Carry your keys.HOMEWORK:Read Matthew 7 – Ask the Lord to speak to you through it.Ask the Spirit of Revelation to reveal as you read:Revelation chapters 1 to 3 Ephesians chapter 1 Romans chapter 10Ask the Lord who you need to forgive – and then release forgiveness so you can “take your keys back.”We would love to hear your story!

This week, Tabitha invites us into a slower, deeply personal moment in our journey Out of the Shadows. With honesty and wonder, she shares with us a recent God-dream that echoes the heart of this series: Do we truly understand the victory Christ has won? Do we know who we are in Him? And do we grasp the mission He’s invited us into?Flowing from Matthew 13’s parable of the sower, this message explores what kind of soil we’ve become. Is the Word being stolen from us through doubt? Are we choking under distraction and deception? Or are we becoming trees of life—deeply rooted in His love, bearing fruit in every season?This message is full of reminders that our source is not one of scarcity but abundance. The Spirit sings over us. He hums to still us. The seeds are generous. And even our moments of trials, afflictions, and frustrations—are being used to cultivate good soil.It’s time to take Him at His word. The victory is already won. You lack nothing. The enemy may knock, but the old you doesn’t live here anymore.We would love to hear your story!

Today we welcome a special Guest Speaker Nadine Nyhus Nadine invites us into a slow and sacred rhythm—one of stillness. Drawing from her own profound journey of healing and faith, Nadine explores why stillness is not only foundational to our spiritual lives but also essential for emotional and physical healing.Through pauses of quiet reflection and personal storytelling, she explains how our nervous systems, emotions, and thought patterns impact our ability to be still in God’s presence. We learn that modern life—with its noise, pace, and pressure—wires us for constant threat and disconnection, but God gently invites us back into presence through His unchanging gaze of love.Nadine shares 3 keys to entering stillness:1. Soothing the nervous system2. Welcoming and validating emotion3. Letting Scripture renew our thoughtsNadine exposes the two major stumbling blocks that often make stillness feel impossible—our biology and imagination—but reminds us that healing is built into the very way God created us.Throughout the message, we return to scripture, stillness, and breath, helping us to reorient to the kindness and patience of God. This is an invitation to be seen, to settle, and to begin again.We would love to hear your story!

In our current Sermon Series Out of the Shadows, we are stepping out of old mindsets, false identities, and worldly lenses—and into the light of who we truly are in Christ.This week, Tabitha unpacks Jesus’ question to His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” When Peter declares, “You are the Christ,” it becomes a powerful teaching moment about identity, humility, and the authority given to those who walk in dependence on God.We explore the tension between our old nature and our new identity in Christ, how pride isolates but humility connects, and how kingdom revelation leads to responsibility. The “keys of the kingdom” are entrusted to humble hearts, not the self-assured.KEY THEMES: 🗝 Identity is received, not achieved 🗝 Humility leads to blessing and authority, 🗝 Beware of pride that shifts our focus to man’s interests over God’sHOMEWORK:Read: Isaiah 22, Psalm 18, 1 Corinthians 10, Matthew 5 (Beatitudes)Search “new wine” & “old wineskins” (Blue Letter Bible app)Reflection Questions: Father God, in the last 24 hours.....1.

This week continues our journey through Mark 8, revealing the subtle but powerful influences of the world—the “leaven” of the Pharisees and Herod—that shape not only our thinking, but the postures of our hearts.We are challenged to examine where anxiety, impatience, and self-focus have crept in, replacing Kingdom stillness with striving. We are reminded that true transformation doesn’t come by managing behavior—it comes by surrendering to love, receiving sight that goes deeper than what the natural eye can see.As we slow down to recognize the inner noise, the spin cycle of “I, I, I,” and the temptation to demand signs before we believe, we are called to return again to quiet trust, compassion, and the regenerative love of Christ.Because when we move out of fear and striving—and into stillness and trust—we are finally able to see others, and ourselves, through the eyes of the Kingdom.This week's focus:Recognizing the leaven of religious pride and worldly powerHow anxiety and impatience reveal where our hearts are still strivingUnderstanding Kingdom sight versus natural sightThe slow, patient process of being formed by Christ’s loveHow compassion and humility uproot false leavenScripture Homework: Psalm 37, Psalm 62, Mark 7–9, Matthew 15–17, Luke 12–14Focus on: Where is the heart being addressed in these stories?Reflection to carry into your week: Where has impatience or striving revealed a place that needs Kingdom stillness? Where do you need to exchange I, I, I for He is?Thanks for journeying with us. Each step out of the shadows brings us closer to living fully alive, fully loved, and fully awake in Christ.

Series: Out of the ShadowsThis week, Tabitha continues leading us deeper into Jesus' words in Mark 8, as we begin to uncover the hidden influences that shape our thinking, our responses—and most importantly—our hearts. With clarity and compassion, she challenges us to take a close, honest look at the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod, not just as historical references, but as active cultural undercurrents that still affect us today.Jesus warned, “Beware the leaven…” not because of its surface appearance, but because of its quiet, swelling influence. One puffs us up in self-righteousness and shame; the other seduces with power, appetite, and fear. Both distract us from the Kingdom way and harden our hearts toward others.But there’s good news: compassion is the antidote.We are called to return to a soft heart—one willing to be reshaped by humility, empathy, and truth. Because in the Kingdom, transformation begins not with striving, but with surrender. Not in accusation, but in compassion.This week’s key themes:Recognizing the leaven of religion and power in our own heartsThe danger of empathy-less religionWhat it means to truly see people as Jesus doesThe link between compassion, humility, and transformationScripture Homework:Mark 7–9, Matthew 15–17, Luke 12–14Focus on: The heart posture behind the actions. What’s driving the disciples, the Pharisees, and even us?A reflection question to carry with you: Where has your heart become hardened—and what would it look like to let Jesus into that space?Thanks for listening. If this message stirred something in you, share it, journal it, and take time this week to slow down, reflect, and allow compassion to have its full work in you.

We are opening the door to a brand-new message series— OUT OF THE SHADOWS. In Out of the Shadows, we are stepping out of old mindsets, false identities, and worldly lenses—and into the light of who we truly are in Christ.This series challenges us to confront the hidden influences shaping our lives: the subtle leaven of religion, performance, fear, and power that harden our hearts and cloud our vision. Instead of managing behaviors or carrying shame for who we once were, we are learning to live from the truth: we are already made new.Through deep dives into Scripture, honest reflection, and a call to radical compassion, Out of the Shadows invites us to live fully alive—empowered by Christ, rooted in His mercy, and equipped to carry His light into a broken world.This is a journey of transformation, not by striving, but by surrender. Not by fear, but by love. Come, step into the light.Get your Bibles, your journals, and your courage ready.This is where it begins.Primary Scripture Passages to Read:Psalm 23, 24, 25Additional Scripture Passages to Read Ahead for Next Week:Mark 8, Matt 16, Luke 13Worship Set for this day is available on Youtube if you would like to watch it: https://youtu.be/mRub907IPyo We would love to hear your story!

This week, we were honored to welcome Steve Stewart, founder of Impact Nations, who spent time with our staff, leadership, and church community. In this powerful message, Steve unpacks the mercy of God—not just as an attribute, but as the very movement of creation itself.Steve challenges us to recognize that mercy is more than just kindness; it is the essence of God’s character. Drawing from Exodus 34 and the life of Jesus, he reminds us that every breath we take is a declaration of God’s ongoing mercy over our lives. True mercy is restorative, not retributive—it sees the unseen, compels action, and shifts atmospheres.We are invited to step into the divine dance of perichoresis—the eternal flow of love, grace, and compassion between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He encourages us to daily receive and extend mercy, transforming not just our own hearts but the world around us.Key Takeaways:God’s mercy is not just an action, but His very essence.Mercy sees the unseen and compels action.True justice is restorative, not retributive.We are invited into the divine dance of God’s love.A simple but powerful prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.”Thanks for listening!

As we step into 2025, the call is clear: quietness and rest. But let’s be real—this isn’t about passivity or doing nothing. It’s about releasing the striving, the grasping, and the need to control. It’s about stepping into His presence, where true strength is found.Unpacking the single most important thought we will ever have: how we think about God. If we see Him as an angry tyrant, we’ll live in fear. But if we recognize that His justice is birthed in mercy and compassion, we can fully receive His love. Why? Because faith only grows in love, and love is the essence of God’s character.Posture for 2025: A People of His Presence Quietness and rest do not mean disengagement—they mean stepping away from striving and into trust. This is not a year of trying harder; this is a year of abiding. Like Moses in Exodus 33, we cry out, “Lord, if your presence does not go with us, do not lead us from here.”Quietness + Rest = Strength This is the truth we need to anchor into this year. Not busyness. Not performance. Not the world’s expectations. But abiding in Him. Isaiah 32 promises that when we allow righteousness to take root in our hearts, the result will be peace. And from that peace flows a quiet confidence—one that cannot be shaken.Are You Willing? Becoming a people of presence requires waiting. Stillness. A willingness to let go of idols—even the ones we don’t want to admit we hold on to. Are we willing to choose differently? To let our schedules reflect a hunger for God’s presence? To stretch the muscle of waiting on Him?Thanks for listening! If this message resonated with you, share it with a friend and take some time this week to step into His presence.We would love to hear your story!

As we continue into the new year, Tabitha builds upon last week’s message, inviting us into intentional surrender—a posture of yielding to Emmanuel, God with us.Drawing from Isaiah 30-32, she reminds us of the heart of God—one full of grace and compassion. We are called to examine the lenses through which we view the world, staying vigilant against false masters that drain us rather than restore us. The Lord restores; He doesn’t deplete. True transformation isn’t achieved through striving, but through resting in His presence.We are offered an invitation into a deeper relationship with God, an opportunity to realign our hearts. Are we taking refuge in the shadow of the Almighty, or under something else? Are we creating space for God’s presence to come, heal, and lead us?Key Scriptures: Isaiah 30:18, Isaiah 30:15, Psalm 91Challenge for the Week: Set aside time to be still before the Lord—without an agenda. Simply wait on Him and let His presence be your strength.We would love to hear your story!

As we step into a new year, Pastor Tabitha Fellman invites us into a journey of reflection, stillness, and rest. We unpack the Cambridge Vineyard's vision for 2025, centered around intimacy with God, quiet confidence, and a deepening of our faith.This message unpacks the threads God has been weaving within our community, from His abiding presence to the transformative power of gratitude, holiness, and prayer. Tabitha challenges us to embrace quietness and rest, not as inactivity, but as a place where God can birth something new within us.Let us all remember that God is not a distant, harsh judge but a loving Father longing to be gracious to us. In our stillness, He meets us. In our rest, He renews us. And as we step into the year ahead, He calls us to be a people of light and water—refreshing the world around us.Scripture Focus: Isaiah 30:18, Isaiah 45:8Challenge for the Week: Spend time in Isaiah 30-32 and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what He is speaking to you about 2025.We would love to hear your story!

     As we step into 2025, we stand at the threshold of a new season—a season of light. Advent has drawn to a close, but the light of Christ continues to shine, and we are invited to carry that light with us into every moment of the year ahead. In this message, we reflect on what it means to walk in the light, to see clearly in the midst of uncertainty, and to step forward in faith rather than fear.Drawing from Psalm 27, we explore how fear and darkness can cloud our vision, how our circumstances try to pull us into despair, and how God calls us instead to lift our heads and trust in His goodness. Seeking His presence daily, turning our attention toward hope rather than hopelessness, and choosing to abide in His truth rather than be consumed by the chaos around us.As we embrace the word for this new year—Fresh Fire—we recognize that fire refines, purifies, and makes the ground fertile for new growth. To walk in the light, we must surrender to His refining work, practice His presence, and intentionally abide in His truth.So as we enter 2025, the challenge is this: Will we tune into the abiding presence of God daily? Will we declare His truth over our lives and stand in His promises? Or will we remain stuck in the cycle of fear and uncertainty?It’s time to turn on the lights. We would love to hear your story!

   As we arrive at the fourth Sunday of Advent, we turn our focus to love—the foundation of everything. W explore the profound truth that what we think about God shapes our expectations and opens the door to encounter His true nature.Through prayer, scripture, and reflection, I invite you to consider how God’s love surpasses the limitations of earthly love. His love is unconditional, unchanging, and extravagant. It’s a love that seeks out the small, the insignificant, and the vulnerable, drawing near to heal and transform.We’ll look at passages like 1 Corinthians 13, Micah 5, and Romans 8, discovering how God’s love is patient, kind, and full of grace. This love is not just a concept—it’s an active force that shapes how we see ourselves and the world around us.If you’ve ever felt small, insignificant, or weighed down by life’s struggles, this message is an invitation to let God’s love reshape your perspective, anchor your heart, and remind you of your worth. His love is for you, and it never fails. We would love to hear your story!

This week, we celebrate the third Sunday of Advent and turn our hearts toward joy. Joy is more than fleeting happiness; it’s an eternal gift rooted in the very character of God. Scripture reminds us that in His presence is the fullness of joy, and this joy is tied to His love and salvation.We explore how joy springs from abiding in His love and standing on the rock of our salvation. Joy isn’t dependent on our circumstances but is a choice to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author of our salvation and the source of eternal delight.If you’re feeling weighed down by life’s struggles, this message is an invitation to shift your focus, embrace His forgiveness, and allow His joy to overflow in your heart. Joy isn’t something to chase—it’s a gift to receive.We would love to hear your story!

As we step into the second week of Advent, we explore how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, brings comfort, hope, and peace to our hearts and minds.We dive into passages from Isaiah 40 and Isaiah 26, discovering that a steadfast mind, anchored in trust, leads to perfect peace. This is an invitation to let go of the lies that hold us back, lean into the lovingkindness of God, and allow His truth to bring transformation. My prayer is that this message encourages you to stand firm in His love, assured of your belonging and becoming all He created you to be.We would love to hear your story!

Hey friends,Last Sunday, we spoke about the power of community & belonging. I got up here thinking my message was just “meh.” You know, one of those times where you feel like you just muddled through. But then the texts started coming in, and I’m asked to lean into it more, to explore this place that God seems to be highlighting. And let me tell you, that sent me into a bit of a spiral. It felt like I was walking into a test I wasn’t prepared for. Ever feel like that? Like you’re about to fail before you even start?But here’s the thing: God doesn’t ask us to have it all together. He doesn’t need us to have all the answers. What He’s after is our hearts—open, willing, and present.This week, I’ve been sitting with the idea of intentional relationship. God’s been showing me that it’s not about doing ministry out of duty or transaction. It’s about being fully present—with Him and with each other. It’s about creating spaces where people can belong, where they feel seen, known, and loved.Here’s what that looks like:Making Space for the “Untouchables”: Jesus always made room for the ones on the margins—the blind, the lame, the women, the children, the Gentiles. He welcomed them into spaces they were told they didn’t belong. Who are those people for us today? Are we making space for them?Living Beyond Transaction: Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sitting with the grieving—these are the costly, relational acts that Jesus calls us to. It’s not about fixing people; it’s about being present with them.Opening Our Doors: Whether it’s a single mom with a high-needs child or a homeless friend at Urban Hope, God is asking us to step out of our comfort zones and open the doors of our hearts, our homes, and even our wallets. It’s scary, yes—but it’s also where the kingdom breaks in.God reminded me of something so simple yet profound: He sees us. He’s with us. Even when we feel like we don’t have the words or the strength, He shows up.So here’s the invitation: Let’s be a people who show up. Let’s be a community with open doors and open hearts, ready to embrace whoever God sends our way.—we’re being called to shift, to think differently, and to step into a deeper sense of belonging. And I believe we’ll see heaven break in.We would love to hear your story!
