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.

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.
Colossians 1:28–2:3 (NIV)
