Sermons

At VCL, we put a very high value on the preaching of God's Word. We not only expect the sermons each Sunday to be Bible-based, but to be an exposition of Scripture. That means we study one passage from the Bible with the goal of understanding what it means in its context and drawing from the passage the principles of godly living and thinking that are natural to it.

If it is convenient for you, we invite you to pick up a free cassette or CD of any of the messages preached at VCL. If you do not regularly attend, drop us an e-mail at evcl@evcl.org with your address and the particular sermons you'd like to hear and we'd be happy to send them, free of charge.
