On Sunday, April 21, 2024, VLC gathered in person and also broadcasted online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart shared a message about when Jesus taught his disciples to pray. Jesus invited them to pray, “Give us each day our daily bread.” We learned from this passage that we are to have a dependence on the Lord for not only our spiritual needs but our physical needs as well. This dependence is to be renewed each day and expressed by faith that God will provide precisely what we need as we need it.

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
Luke 11:1-4 (NIV)
