The Simplicity of Life
with The Holy Spirit

Bob and Audrey Meisner
 

This Sunday, Bob and Audrey Meisner, two of our favorite guest speakers at Vida Church, shared a powerful and challenging message: if you want the ride of your life, say “yes” to the Holy Spirit.

We all long for a sweet and simple life without crises, but Bob and Audrey shared that 22 years ago, they faced a devastating crisis in their marriage that made life difficult and hard. Yet, in their darkest moments, they discovered a profound truth: our Redeemer lives. Bob passionately declared that no matter how much you’ve messed up, God is always there, ready to turn what seems like your greatest setback into something extraordinary. If you trust Him with it, He will propel your life forward into sweet peace and simplicity, guiding you toward the exciting purpose He has designed for you.

The Meisners reminded us that we are called to live a life filled with righteousness, peace, and joy—a life that truly works because it is led by the Spirit of God. These qualities are the currency of heaven, and the world is desperately searching for them. As we bear the fruit of the Spirit, offering love, joy, and peace to others, we become ambassadors of God’s Kingdom, drawing people to Christ through our transformed lives. The fruit of the Spirit in us, is for others, not for ourselves!

Bob explained that true transformation begins when we align our hearts with God’s promises and truths. When our hope is anchored in the finished work of the cross, we are changed from the inside out. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us, and with His power, we are called to continue the miraculous works of Jesus—performing even greater miracles as we love the world empowered with radical, Spirit-led love.

For those who feel like they can't hear the Holy Spirit, Bob reassured us that the Word promises, “My sheep hear my voice.” Transformation, he said, comes from living from the inside out. When we recognize God as the source of our dignity, value, and worth, we can live in His sweet and simple presence. Audrey also led us through an exercise to practice hearing God’s voice.

Quien Está Enfermo No Puede Sanar A Otros

"Hija, tu fe te ha sanado; ve en paz y queda sana de tu aflicción." Mark 5:34 En Mark 5 conocemos a una mujer que vivió con flujo de sangre durante 12 años. Su condición afectaba más que su cuerpo. Tocaba sus relaciones, sus finanzas, su lugar en la comunidad y la manera en que tal vez veía su futuro. Después de años de decepción, ella todavía se acercó a Jesús. Ken Ward nos recordó que Jesús no solo trata con lo que las personas pueden ver por fuera. Él es el Redentor de toda la persona. Sana, restaura, arranca raíces profundas y nos hace completos.

Nuestro Dios Padre: Viviendo Desde la Aceptación, No Desde el Esfuerzo

By Benjamin Diaz • June 22, 2026
Una de las verdades más profundas de las Escrituras es que Dios se revela a Sí mismo como Padre. Muchas personas conocen a Dios como Creador, Salvador, Sanador o Rey. Sin embargo, una de las misiones principales de Jesús fue revelar al Padre e invitarnos a vivir en una relación cercana con Él.

Our God The Father

By Benjamin Diaz • June 22, 2026
One of the most profound truths in Scripture is that God reveals Himself to us as Father. Many people know God as Creator. Others know Him as Savior, Provider, Healer, or King. Yet one of Jesus' primary missions on earth was to reveal the Father and invite us into a relationship with Him.

Los Nombres de Mi Dios

By Benjamin Diaz • June 15, 2026
Una de las mayores bendiciones que Dios nos da en cada temporada de la vida es la oportunidad de conocerlo más profundamente. El Pastor Ben nos recordó que cada nueva situación que enfrentamos es una invitación para descubrir un aspecto más de la naturaleza de Dios. Cuando surgen desafíos, podemos hacer esta pregunta: "Señor, ¿qué aspecto de Tu naturaleza necesito que intervenga en mi vida en este momento?"  La Biblia revela más de 200 nombres y títulos para Dios, Jesús y el Espíritu Santo. Esta semana exploramos cuatro de ellos y descubrimos cómo apuntan a Jesús, cómo encuentran su cumplimiento en Él y cómo ahora nosotros estamos llamados a reflejar Su naturaleza al mundo que nos rodea.

The Names Of My God

By Benjamin Diaz • June 15, 2026
One of the greatest gifts God gives us in every season is the opportunity to know Him more deeply. Pastor Ben reminded us that every new situation we face is an invitation to discover another aspect of God's nature. When challenges arise, we can ask: "Lord, what part of Your nature do I need to come intervene in my life right now?"  Scripture reveals more than 200 names and titles for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This week we explored four of those names and discovered how they point us to Jesus, how they are fulfilled in Him, and how we are now called to carry His nature into the world around us.

¿Cómo Puedo Conocer Plenamente a Dios?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 8, 2026
Una de las invitaciones más hermosas de las Escrituras no es simplemente creer en Dios, sino conocerlo. Este domingo, el Pastor Ben nos recordó que la confianza no es algo que producimos por esfuerzo propio. La confianza crece naturalmente a través de la relación. Mientras más conocemos a Dios, más aprendemos a confiar en Él.

Why Hasn't The Truth Set You Free?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 1, 2026
Do you know God personally? It's a question worth slowing down to consider. In a culture where information is abundant, it's possible to know a lot about God without actually knowing Him. We can quote Scriptures, attend church, listen to sermons, and participate in ministry activities, yet still miss the relationship God has always desired.

¿Lo Conoces? ¿Y Lo Estás Dando A Conocer?

By Benjamin Diaz • June 1, 2026
El cristianismo no se trata simplemente de conocer datos acerca de Dios, sino de tener una relación con Él. Las palabras de Jesús en Mateo 7 nos recuerdan que la actividad religiosa por sí sola no es la meta. Dios desea que realmente lo conozcamos y que ayudemos a otros a conocerlo también.
