May 11, 2025: The Hand of Jesus

Pastor Nicole shared with us God's heart for evangelism and outreach.

She explained how evangelism has changed over the centuries til now it's mainly, "Where are you going when you die?" But there is so much more to it than that!

Pastor Nicole went through the VCC Philosophy of Ministry with us that laid the foundation for every follower of Jesus to participate in evangelism and the Great Commission that fits:

-Who God has created us to be.

-Where God has planted us.

-What He is inviting us into in the moment.

Using the hand as a visual tool, Pastor Nicole showed us through scripture how we can all be the "hand of Jesus" to those around us at any given moment through:

-Resources (as the first finger)

-Healing (as the second finger)

-Our Testimonies (as the third finger)

-The Gospel of Christ (as the fourth finger)

With the Thumb being LOVE. The thumb is what connects to each of these fingers of evangelism. Without love, we are just doing our own thing on our own strength. We each need to be able to receive the love of God for ourselves so that we can then give it to others.

The Kingdom of God is at HAND!
