- [Spiritual Disciplines: What the Bible Actually Says About Feeling Stuck in Your Faith](https://www.thevine.life/sermons/spiritual-disciplines-matthew-11-learn-of-me) - Matthew 11:20-30, preached August 9, 2026 by Pastor Amos Sikele. Jesus rebukes three cities that had seen his miracles and still did not repent — exposure is not transformation. His three invitations come in order: come to me, take my yoke, learn of me. You are not formed by what you intend but by what you repeat. Opens the Devoted series on spiritual disciplines.
- [Standing Firm: What the Bible Actually Says About Fighting Fair](https://www.thevine.life/sermons/standing-firm-ephesians-6-armor-of-god) - Ephesians 6:10-24, preached August 2, 2026 by Pastor Amos Sikele. The armor of God is armor Jesus already wore (Isaiah 11, 52, 59); the enemy is not flesh and blood, so standing firm looks like praying for the person you have started treating as an opponent.
