Launching New

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE @ 11:00AMBeginning April 7th, Victory Lutheran will introduce a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am on Sunday mornings. Following Easter, the 11:00am service will shift from traditional to contemporary music, led by a praise team under the guidance of Jackie Jewel.

This new service has been a long-requested and carefully planned endeavor. While contemporary worship has been a part of Victory for over twenty years, it hasn’t been present at the Mesa campus for quite some time.

It’s important to note that traditional worship remains the cornerstone of Victory’s worship experience. This is our primary focus. We’re not aiming to “blend” traditional and contemporary styles. Our Saturday service at 4:00pm and Sunday services at 8:00am and 9:30am will continue to uphold traditional styles with excellence. The 11:00am Sunday service will adopt a contemporary style, also delivered with excellence.

Hearing God's Voice Class
2024-10-28 09:30 - 11:00 | AZ
HEARING GOD’S VOICEOctober 21-November 18, 2024Mondays @ 9:30-11:00amLed by Pastor Susan Westland

Open almost any chapter in the Bible and it will quickly become obvious that the people in the Bible knew God through hearing Him speak to them and seeing Him in their visions and dreams. God was their friend. They walked and talked with Him. What an astounding lifestyle!

In the New Testament, this intimacy with God continued with Jesus who told us, “My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) What about today, does God still talk to us the way He did in the past? What about you? Do you hear God’s voice in your prayer life or encounter Him in your dreams?

If you have ever wondered what it sounds like to hear from Heaven and you desire such intimacy with God then you are invited to join Pastor Susan for a new 5-week Bible study class called, “Four Keys to Hearing God’s Voice”. The study is based on the book with the same name authored by Dr. Mark Virkler.

In this class, Pastor Susan will help participants explore Biblically based powerful ways designed to enrich our prayer lives by helping us hear God’s voice and recognize how He is speaking to us in our everyday life.

Pray for Our Nation
2024-10-31 10:00 - 11:00 | AZ
Call to Pray for Our NationSpecial Prayer MeetingThursday, October 31 @ 10am in the Chapel

2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

It is critical that we pray for our Nation as we draw closer to the upcoming National and local elections. There is an amazing power in united prayer. During this time we encourage you to pray with others whenever possible. The power of prayer can overcome any obstacle and, indeed, do great things!

Often the Lord calls His people to gather for prayer, asking us to “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7). Thursday, October 31 at 10:00am will be just such a time as we gather for a special prayer meeting. God’s word tells us that we are to devote ourselves to prayer (Colossians 4:2) so please plan to join us as we gather to pray for our nation and the upcoming national and local elections.

We are providing a Daily Prayer Guide that begins October 20 thru November 5, Election Day. This guide is designed to help us come together in prayer during this important time for our nation. Together, let’s lift our hearts and minds to God as we trust in His guidance during this election season.
