January 13-19, 2025 - David & Jonathan, Strength in Weakness Midweek
What's Happening at VCOC - January 13-19, 2025
Recap from January 12th Sunday "Saul" Sermon
If you missed it, make sure you check out Sean St Jean's sermon on "Who is the King of Your Heart" on YouTube. His main points were:
- We are wired to judge by outward appearance.
- God looks at the heart. How is your heart doing?
- King Jesus presides over a "Heart-Based" Kingdom
His challenge was: Find a Christ-follower who you can be transparent about your life with. Make a decision to let them know the state of your heart. Thanks Sean for a convicting and inspiring sermon!

Thread Series: God's People Blessed - Episode 33 - David and Jonathan
We are continuing with the final episodes in the Thread Series "God's People Blessed".
This coming week we're focusing on the life of King Saul. From the Thread Podcast series:
In this episode, we dive into the unique and powerful friendship between David and Jonathan. Learn about David’s journey from a shepherd boy to a future king anointed by Yahweh, his trials during 15 years in the wilderness, and the key role of spiritual friendship during his challenging times. We also compare and contrast David with King Saul, exploring the heart and spirituality that set David apart as a man after God’s own heart. Join us as we uncover deep biblical insights, the significance of inner life, and the development of spiritual leadership.
