Hope for healing

During VPC's Capital Campaign we'll take an excerpt from Pastor Joynt's daily devotional. It will be a call to action to listen, pray, or engage with A New Heart for the Valley. You can get your own daily devotional in each worship center or online: vpc.church/devotional. Devotional: The Transfiguration is a little theology of worship. On Sundays, we go up the mountain with Jesus, and we are invited to personally experience his glory and instructed to listen to his voice, as we hear it in scripture and through his Spirit. Ecstatic experience of joy and aw and wonder and practical direction and guidance. Heart and Head! What do you expect of worship?

Daily Devotionals available in worship centers & church office
