    Christ In You: Discovering the Power of Incarnation

    On Sunday, December 28, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Brook Fonceca shared a message on how to discover what it means to experience God’s presence and how to embrace it so that we mature in Christ, finding encouragement and unity as we seek to love God as we love one another. Colossians 1:28–2:3 (NIV) He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. https://bit.ly/Colossians1_28–2_3NIV

    Writing Your Christmas Worship Song

    On Sunday, December 21, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message on how to sing a new song to the Lord this Christmas, one that is from our own hearts and lives. We can focus on God’s attributes, how we have experienced the way God sees us, and what the Lord is doing in our lives. These are just launching points to express your worship to the Lord in song this Christmas. Luke 1:46-49 (NIV) And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. https://bit.ly/Luke1_46-49NIV

    How to Give a Christmas Blessing

    On Sunday, December 14, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message on how to be someone who blesses others. When Mary visited Elizabeth in Luke 1:38-46, we see an example of what it is to accept the role of the blesser, to share encouragement and confirmation, and to speak words of blessing to and over others. Luke 1:38-46 (NIV) “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord.” https://bit.ly/Luke1_38-46NIV

    A Shift in Season: Walking with Jesus through the Advent, Part 2

    On Sunday, December 7, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice continued our Advent series, encouraging us to… - Cultivate awareness of the heavenly story in your life - Embrace God’s desire to bless through you - Follow the pattern of Mary’s apprenticeship Luke 1:26-38 (NIV) In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. https://bit.ly/Luke1_26-38NIV

    A Shift in Season: Walking with Jesus through the Advent

    On Sunday, November 30, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice began an Advent series this Sunday, focusing on walking with Jesus through Advent. Jesus leads us to slow down, meditate on the season, and find courage as we wait on the Lord. Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near. James 5:7-8 (NLT) https://bit.ly/James5_7-8NLT

    The School of Christ: Learning and Relearning Prayer and Listening

    On Sunday, November 16, 2025, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice continues his series, The School of Christ, by leading us through Psalm 16 as a template for prayer and listening by exploring the practice of honesty, reflection, and response. He also reminded us of the value of the community of saints, encouraging us to see those around us as noble and a delight in God’s eyes. Psalm 16:1-3 (NIV) Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” https://bit.ly/Psalm16_1-3NIV
