   11/08/26 The practice of Generosity week 2: Watch Out for Greed! | 1 Timothy 6v6-11, 17-19

   Watch Out for Greed! | 1 Timothy 6v6-11, 17-19 Greed has a way of convincing us that what we have will never be enough. But Jesus invites us into a life of contentment, generosity, and freedom, where our security is found not in what we possess, but in the faithfulness of God. In 1 Timothy 6v6-11, 17-19, the apostle Paul warns about the dangers of loving money and reminds us that godliness with contentment is great gain. He challenges us to examine where we place our hope and what truly shapes our desires. Rather than pursuing wealth as the source of our security, we are called to trust God, enjoy His provision, and become rich in good works. In this message, Pastor Mitchel Cherry continues our series, The Practice of Generosity, exploring why greed is often harder to recognize than we realize, how contentment is something we learn, and the spiritual dangers of allowing money to become our master. Through the teachings of Jesus, the wisdom of Paul, and the example of the early church, we discover that true richness is not measured by what we accumulate, but by the lives we live and the love we share. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is forming us into a people who live with open hands and hearts rooted in His goodness. As we learn to recognize what is enough, practice gratitude, and share what God has entrusted to us, we become a community that reflects the generosity of Jesus. Our prayer is that we would find freedom from the constant pursuit of more and carry His hope, purpose, and transforming love into Nashville and beyond.

   11/01/26 The practice of Generosity week 1: There Is More Joy in Giving Than Receiving (Matthew 6v19-24)

   There Is More Joy in Giving Than Receiving | Matthew 6v19–24 Generosity is not simply about what we give. It is about the kind of people Jesus is forming us to become and the freedom we discover when we learn to live with open hands. In Matthew 6v19–24, Jesus teaches us that what we treasure shapes our hearts, influences how we see the world, and ultimately reveals where we place our trust. He invites us to find our security not in wealth or possessions, but in the goodness and provision of God. Through His teaching, we discover that generosity is more than a financial decision. It is a spiritual practice that transforms the way we live. In this message, Pastors Mitchel and Jeny Cherry begin this four-week series, The Practice of Generosity, exploring what it means to live with open hands. We look at how generosity frees us from the constant pursuit of more, changes the way we see others, and teaches us to trust God with what He has entrusted to us. We are reminded that generosity is not something we practice to earn God's love, but a response to the incredible generosity we have already received through Jesus. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is forming us into a people who reflect His generous heart. As we learn to live with open hands, we become a community that notices needs, makes room for others, and carries the love of Jesus into Nashville and beyond. Our prayer is that we would discover the freedom of trusting God and the joy of becoming a blessing to those around us. Scripture: Matthew 6v19–24 Wildfire Vineyard Church | Nashville, Tennessee

   10/25/26 Practices — Part 2: A Life That Looks Like Jesus (John 15v1-17)

   A Life That Looks Like Jesus | John 15v1–17 As we remain in Jesus, His love begins to shape how we live with others. Following Jesus is not simply about spending time in His presence, but becoming people whose lives reflect His character. In John 15v1–17, Jesus calls His disciples to remain in His love and to love one another as He has loved them. The fruit of abiding in Jesus is a transformed life, one where His love becomes visible through our relationships, choices, and everyday interactions with the people around us. In this message, we explore four spiritual practices that help us live more like Jesus: community, simplicity, generosity, and hospitality. These practices teach us to move beyond a faith centered on ourselves and embrace a life of genuine belonging, contentment, openhanded generosity, and making room for others. They are not religious obligations, but ways of allowing the Holy Spirit to shape how we love and serve. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is forming us into a people who belong to Him and to one another. As we practice His way together, we become a community where His love is experienced through our relationships, our homes, and the way we care for our neighbors. Our desire is that the life of Jesus would become visible through us, bringing hope, purpose, and transformation to Nashville and beyond.

   10/18/26 Practices — Part 1: Formed in the Presence of Jesus (John 15v1-17)

   Formed in the Presence of Jesus | John 15v1–17 Spiritual practices are not ways to earn God's love. They are ways of arranging our lives to remain with Jesus so that His life can shape ours. In John 15v1–17, Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and His followers as the branches. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine, we cannot become like Jesus apart from remaining connected to Him. Spiritual formation begins not with doing more for Jesus, but with learning to be with Him. In this message, we explore five spiritual practices that help us cultivate a life rooted in His presence: prayer, Scripture, solitude, Sabbath, and fasting. These practices are not religious obligations or measures of spiritual success. They are intentional ways of making room for the Holy Spirit to renew our minds, shape our desires, and transform us from the inside out. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is inviting us to become people who abide in Him. As we learn to practice His way together, His love, character, and presence become increasingly visible in our lives and through us to the world around us. We are not simply learning to do what Jesus did. We are learning to live as Jesus lived. Scripture: John 15v1–17 Wildfire Vineyard Church | Nashville, Tennessee

   10/11/26 Who is forming you? (Romans 12v1-2)

   Who Is Forming You? | Romans 12v1–2 We are all being formed every day. Following Jesus means intentionally choosing His likeness over passively being shaped by the world around us. In Romans 12v1–2, Paul calls us to resist the patterns of this world and be transformed by the renewing of our minds. The world is constantly shaping what we value, how we think, and how we live. But Jesus invites us into a different kind of formation—not simply changing our behavior, but transforming us from the inside out. In this message, we explore what it means to allow Jesus to form us through the work of the Holy Spirit. Like clay in the hands of a potter, we are invited to remain in God's hands as He reshapes our hearts, renews our minds, and teaches us to see the world through His Kingdom perspective. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe following Jesus is about becoming more like Him. As we intentionally practice His way and make room for the Holy Spirit to work in us, He transforms us into people who love like Jesus, see like Jesus, and carry His presence into Nashville and beyond. Scripture: Romans 12v1–2 Wildfire Vineyard Church | Nashville, Tennessee

   10/4/26 Practicing the way of Jesus (Luke 9v23-27)

   Practicing the Way of Jesus | Luke 9:23–27 Jesus is calling us not simply to believe in Him, but to follow Him. In Luke 9v23–27, Jesus tells His disciples that following Him means denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and choosing His way of life. Discipleship is more than agreeing with Jesus—it is learning to live like Jesus through the ordinary rhythms and practices of everyday life. In this message, we explore what it means to practice the way of Jesus: to surrender our lives to Him, become more like Him, and follow Him wherever He leads. The invitation of Jesus is not simply to attend church or believe the right things, but to become the kind of people who naturally live the way He taught us to live. Be with Jesus. Become like Jesus. Do the things He did. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is still inviting ordinary people to follow Him. As we practice His way together, He transforms our hearts, shapes our lives, and teaches us to live as His people in Nashville and beyond.

   9/27/26 For the Sake of the City (Matthew 5v13-16)

   For the Sake of the City | Matthew 5v13–16 Jesus is building His church, and He is forming us into His people so that His presence in us can become a blessing to the world around us. In Matthew 5v13–16, Jesus calls His people the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He doesn’t form us so that we can withdraw from the world, but so that His love can become visible through the way we live. We are called to carry the presence of Jesus into our neighborhoods, workplaces, families, friendships, and city. In this message, we explore what it means to be a people who see—to notice the lonely, the hurting, the overlooked, and those searching for home. Through the story of Father Charles Strobel and the beginnings of Room In The Inn in Nashville, we’re reminded that the Kingdom of God often begins with something ordinary: one person seeing a need and choosing to make room. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is forming us into a people who belong to Him and to one another, and who are sent into Nashville for the sake of the city. We want the love of Jesus to become visible through our lives as we carry hope, purpose, hospitality, and His presence into the places where we live. Scripture: Matthew 5v13–16 Wildfire Vineyard Church | Nashville, Tennessee

   9/20/26 A people who belong (Acts 2v42-47)

   A People Who Belong | Acts 2v42–47 Jesus is building His church, and He is forming us into His people. In Acts 2v42–47, we see what happens when people who belong to Jesus begin to truly belong to one another. The early church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, generosity, and life together. Their faith wasn't something they experienced alone—it became a shared way of life. In this message, we explore what it means to be a people who belong: belonging to Jesus, belonging to one another, and living in such a way that the life of Jesus becomes visible to the world around us. At Wildfire Vineyard Church, we believe Jesus is still forming His people today. As we learn to live in authentic community, He shapes us into a people who carry His hope, purpose, and love into Nashville and beyond. Scripture: Acts 2v42–47 Wildfire Vineyard Church | Nashville, Tennessee
