Close to Jesus: Introduction to Ministry

On Sunday, May 7, 2023, VLC gathered in person, which was also broadcasted online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message about how Jesus healed many people on one occasion. From this story, we see that Jesus wanted to teach his disciples how to see the people as he does, to see their needs, and to acknowledge Jesus as the source of their healing.

He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
Luke 6:17-19 (NIV)
