THRIVEAUSTIN VINEYARD CHURCH

In this message, Pastor Scott Hatch unpacks what the Bible calls power encounters—moments where the Kingdom of God confronts darkness and demonstrates the authority of Jesus.Looking at the story in Mark 5, we see that the gospel isn’t just meant to be explained—it’s meant to be experienced. Jesus doesn’t just teach truth; He sets people free.This sermon will challenge you to move beyond a powerless Christianity and step into a life where the Holy Spirit works through you to bring freedom, healing, and transformation.There is more.

Jesus didn’t come just to forgive sin—He came to restore authority.In this message, we unpack what it means to live in the power and authority that Jesus has given His followers. From the beginning, humanity was created to carry God’s authority—but through sin, that authority was surrendered. Through the cross, Jesus defeated the enemy, reclaimed what was lost, and now invites us to walk in it.You’re not powerless. You’re not stuck.In Christ, you’ve been given authority.

BEST DAY EVER — Easter MessageWhat if the worst day in history became the best day for humanity?In this powerful Easter message, we explore the reality of the resurrection—not just as a historical event, but as a present invitation. Jesus didn’t just rise from the grave to prove a point—He rose to bring new life, real hope, and lasting transformation.If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more to life, more to faith, or more to your story—this message is for you.

In Blueprint Pt. 2, we continue our journey through Acts 2:42–47 and unpack what the early church devoted themselves to—and why it still matters for Thrive today. This isn’t nostalgia, it’s a framework: a Spirit-filled community built on devotion to Jesus, real fellowship, shared life, and a bold witness. If you’re hungry for a church that feels like family and moves with power, this message is for you.

What if God has already given us the plan? Acts 2:42 shows the early church’s four devotions: the apostles’ teaching, fellowship (koinōnia), breaking bread, and prayer. This week we lay the foundation for Blueprint and talk through practical ways to live these rhythms in your everyday life—so your faith doesn’t just survive, it flourishes.

Dominion Over the Physical Body is a practical, Spirit-filled message about taking back ground in the everyday places where many of us lose the battle—habits, cravings, discipline, and the way we steward our health. Pastor Scott unpacks what the New Testament teaches about the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, why freedom isn’t just spiritual but physical too, and how grace empowers us to live with self-control—not shame.If you’ve felt ruled by food, fatigue, anxiety, addiction patterns, or inconsistent routines, this sermon will help you rebuild dominion through identity, wisdom, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Expect biblical clarity, real-life stories, and a challenge to step into a healthier, holier life—one decision at a time.

Christmas Eve at ThriveAustin is a simple, meaningful celebration of the birth of Jesus—God with us. In this service we worship, hear the Christmas story, receive communion, and close with candlelight as we remember that light has entered the darkness. Whether you’re full of joy, carrying grief, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.

Joy can feel impossible in December—especially when your world is stressed, your soul is tired, and your calendar is packed. But Advent joy isn’t based on perfect conditions… it’s anchored in a Person.In this message, we explore the Joy of Advent: Jesus entering our world, breaking the power of darkness, and bringing a joy that holds steady in suffering. Expect Scripture, cultural honesty, and a practical call to live “defiant joy” in everyday life.

Belief to Bounty – Week 5: UNIONIn this message, Pastor Scott teaches one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: union with Christ. Drawing from Scripture and real-life stories, he shows that the Christian life isn’t about trying harder for God — it’s about living from the life of God inside you.We explore what it truly means to share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and victory… and how this union becomes the source of our identity, power, freedom, and intimacy with God.You’ll hear:• Why we often feel spiritually “crooked” even while doing all the right things• How grace positions us in Christ and union empowers us to live with Him• Why Jesus’ final prayer was for you to share His glory and His relationship with the Father• What it looks like to stop striving and start participating in the life of JesusThis message will help you breathe again, rest again, and step into a faith that isn’t performance-driven but Presence-driven.“Union isn’t an idea to believe — it’s a Presence to breathe.”Listen in and encounter the truth that changes everything:Christ in you — the hope of glory.

Belief to Bounty, Pt. 1 — GraceGrace is more than a get-out-of-guilt card; it’s God’s empowering presence. Pastor Scott traces the doctrine of grace—justification, sanctification, glorification—and shows how grace moves us from mere belief to visible fruit (Eph 2:8–9; Titus 2:11–12; 1 Cor 15:10). Learn the difference between cheap grace and transforming grace, how to escape the grind of performance, and how to posture your life where grace flows and fruit grows.Big idea: Grace is power, not permission.

Bedrock Gospel — “Glory Bound”This message lifts our eyes to the future hope Jesus secured—resurrection life, a redeemed creation, and a people formed by glory. Pastor Scott unpacks why salvation is more than a past decision; it’s a present transformation and a promised future where we are conformed to Christ. Expect clear gospel, gritty hope, and a call to live like heaven is already breaking in.You’ll hear about:• The promise of glory and why it changes Monday• Justification, sanctification, and glorification—one seamless story• How to endure hardship with a resurrection mindset• Practicing a “glory now” lifestyle in ordinary placesIf this encouraged you, follow the podcast, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people meet Jesus and step into freedom.Series: Bedrock GospelSpeaker: Pastor Scott HatchKeywords: gospel, glory, resurrection, hope, new creation, discipleship, perseverance

BEDROCK GOSPEL Pt 2 : Spirit ForgedSpirit-Forged — Jesus doesn’t just remove guilt; as our living High Priest He indwells us by the Spirit. From the cross that cleanses the temple to Pentecost that fills the temple, this message invites two responses: exchange striving for “Christ in me” and receive a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.Scripture: Col 1:27–29; Heb 7:25; 9:11–12; 10:19–22; Acts 1:8; 2:33.

Back to the Garden // FinaleIn the finale of our Back to the Garden series, Walker unpacks how God chose Abraham to begin His redemption story and how, through Christ, we are now part of that same family of faith. This message is a call to live as heirs of the promise and carriers of God’s blessing to the world.

Our world worships the grind—hustle harder, prove yourself, sleep later. But in Eden, humanity worked from rest, not for it. In this message, Pastor Scott calls us back to the “ancient paths” where souls find rest in God. Tracing the story from Adam’s peace to Cain’s restless wandering—and finally to Jesus, who finished the work and sat down—you’ll see why striving can’t save you and how Christ invites you into a deeper Sabbath of the heart. Learn three simple practices to step out of hurry and into holy rest: be still, wait well, and remember God’s goodness. We end with a powerful activation to lay down fig leaves and live sent—working from rest, not toward it.

Back to the Garden: Relationships & the War After the WeddingIn this powerful message, Pastor Scott takes us back to Genesis 2–3 to uncover God’s original design for marriage — naked and unashamed — and how quickly the serpent moved in to twist God’s word, sow shame, and attack Adam and Eve’s relationship.This sermon confronts the epidemic of passivity in men, the reality of spiritual warfare in marriage, and the call for men to step into responsibility, leadership, and legacy. Pastor Scott reminds us that the war comes after the wedding, but so does the hope: Jesus, the Dragon Slayer, has already secured the victory.Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to ask: Where are you? Are you showing up for your family, your church, your covenant — or hiding like Adam?📖 Key Texts: Genesis 2–3, Psalm 127, Ephesians 5🔥 Key Themes: Marriage, Leadership, Spiritual Warfare, Legacy

🔥 SERMON : DELIVERANCE IS ESSENTIAL 🔥This Sunday at ThriveAustin, we closed out our series on freedom and healing with a powerful message on Demonic Deliverance.🔹 Jesus is still in the business of cleansing temples!
