APPROACH: PRIVILEGE & BLESSING (Approach Part 1)

by Pastor Greg Simon

“Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].” (Hebrews 4:16 AMP)

I once missed out the privilege and the blessing of honestly approaching God’s throne of grace. My thoughts were so consumed with who was watching and who was listening in the room, that my invocation was shackled and my words earth-bound at-best. Seeking the approval of a person robbed me of my Heavenly Father’s pleasure. I was asked to pray, but what was my motive?

by Pastor Greg Simon (originally posted on 5-3-2020)

GOD IS GOOD! Like the Psalmist, we should praise, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Psalm 23:6a MEV).

In-Person Worship on May 17

Posted on by Greg Simon

LIVE & IN-PERSON WORSHIP SERVICES START MAY 17

May 17 at 8:30AM and 10AM (ONE WEEK AWAY) will be our first Onsite Church Service since our break. We don’t have all the details set in stone, but here are our tentative plans.

We encourage higher-at-risk individuals to attend 8:30AM. To help protect this segment of our congregation, we ask no children attend this service (or adults who work in high risk environments). The 10AM service is open for anyone, including children.

Let’s keep everyone safe and healthy. We will practice physical distancing as mandated by the governor. Families may group and sit together. Please, use common courtesy and stay 6 feet away, front, back and to the side of other individuals outside of your family unit. We encourage every adult to wear a mask but it is not mandatory.

For individuals who are not comfortable attending onsite services, teaching will be recorded and posted to the VFC website.

VFC SUNDAY EVENT for 5-3-2020

Posted on by Greg Simon

VFC SUNDAY EVENT FOR MAY 3, 2020

GOD IS GOOD! Like the Psalmist, we should praise, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Psalm 23:6a MEV). Our lives should be filled with the great things God has done, is doing, and will do in the future.

The Lord is not holding back something – “no good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11b NKJV). Like a seed germinating underground, God is at work quietly behind the scenes, but goodness is about to spring forth. Your next season awaits with opportunities God has already prepared in advance for you.

Reach out in faith to Almighty God. Direct your speech and your steps to match God’s Word and you will witness God involved in your life. Respond quickly with yielded obedience. Plant your feet. Defend your ground. Receive God’s blessings! Follow the link to hear Pastor Greg Simon‘s message “God-Filled & God-Blessed!”

Changes Are All Around Us

CHANGES ARE ALL AROUND US

by Pastor Carol Simon

We are living in a season of change. Changes are happening, but there is something that never changes. Remember that God’s Person, Power, and Promises cannot change. God cares for us and comes to us as a Father to help. Psalm 56:9 TPT paraphrases, “The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side!” Psalm 57:3 TPT adds, “From heaven he will send a father’s help to save me. He will trample down those who trample me. Pause in his presence. He will always show me love by his gracious and constant care.”
