The View 9/9/2026
Sermon series
Politics can divide families, friendships, churches, and communities. And for followers of Jesus, the questions are no less difficult. We all want the world around us to reflect what we believe is good and right. But people on different sides of the political spectrum can point to the teachings of Jesus to support their very different conclusions. Just how are Christians supposed to live faithfully—and live together—in such a divided world?
In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul describes himself as living under “Christ’s law.” That allegiance changed everything for Paul, including how he engaged people with whom he deeply disagreed. This was costly for Paul, but in his own words, he did it all, "for the sake of the gospel."
On Sunday we'll consider what might happen when our concern isn't winning an argument, advancing a viewpoint, or even "getting it all right," but rather reaching people with the transforming good news of Jesus. I hope you'll join me for Part 2 of "Good Question, Better Answer." "How does the Gospel speak to our politically divided world?"
See you Sunday.

Whats Going On At VVC?
MISSIONS TRIP 2026
Our team of seven will be traveling to Miami from September 20–26 to serve alongside the Perrotto family (C&MA Envision) and the Atkinson family (Regenerate Movement) in cross-cultural ministry.
Those serving on the team are David and Eny Aymat, Glenn and Sandie Brackmann, Barbara Cannon, and Robbie and Beth Gross.
If you would like to support this mission trip financially, donations can be made through the VVC Subsplash app by scrolling down to "Envision Missions Trip – Miami." You can also give through your weekly offering by writing "Mission Trip" in the box labeled "Other."
Most importantly, we invite you to begin praying now for the team as they prepare for the trip, for the hearts of the people they will be serving, and for all of the travel arrangements. We will share additional prayer requests with the congregation in early September.
We are also looking for volunteers who may be able to provide transportation to and from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Departure will be very early in the morning on September 20, and pickup will be needed on September 26 between approximately 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. Exact times will be shared as they become available.
Thank you, VVC family, for your prayers, generosity, and support!

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you-
unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life.
However, the enemy fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion.
The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

Genesis isn’t just an ancient history lesson- it is the ultimate story of beginnings.
It’s where we find the foundational truths of who God is and who we are to Him. Whether you joined us last Spring or are coming for the very first time, we would love for you to join us as we pick back up in our study on the Book of Genesis!
We are jumping right into Chapter 11, which serves as a major turning point in the Bible-moving from the global history of the Tower of Babel right into the personal, intimate story of Abraham and his family. The Precept Workbook is required.
Call Kathy Beyel at 908-879-8008 for more information.
