On Sunday, October 15, 2023, VLC gathered in person, which was also broadcast online via YouTube. Gio Serrato shared a message about when Jesus challenged his disciples to daily commit to following Jesus above all, examining the things we value, and trading our shame so that we can be counted as one who belongs to Jesus.

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Luke 9:23-26 (ESV)
