Roanoke Valley Church

The first miracle of the newly ratified church.

Peter preaches the first sermon in the new church after seeing God's amazing plan come into view as the Holy Spirit descends at Pentecost.

Today we begin our study in the book of Acts. Its a time capsule of the early church. Everything we read in this account is under the wonderful light of Jesus' resurrection.  This sermon's aim is to draw attention to the fact that Jesus woke from the dead and it made all the difference for the 12 as it should for us.  A great exercise is to contemplate the resurrection and ask: what else...

Heartache. Difficult times. Pain & Suffering.  No one is immune from them.  We all have gone through them, and we will again.  God promises us to be our shelter and a refuge and will cover us with His feathers.

As we are once again meeting in person, is it possible that there is no greater time for the modern church to recapture the heart of the early church?  This lesson discusses why the early church was so radically effective. It also highlights the motivation for why the early church was so devoted and how that same devotion to imitate Jesus can be recaptured today.

How does one enter the way of life? What does it produce in us as those who are along the way?  Consider a passage in Romans 6 where Paul needed to remind the disciples of how they were brought to life and what they were meant to be in response to such a gift.

What if the greatest reason you could miss " The Way" was because of your goodness.  Yes, you're goodness. Listen in as we explore how we can ensure we are walking in the way of Jesus.

Jon & Lindsay Landis share a message for Mother's Day entitled "Momma Knows the Way"

Our hearts go all sorts of ways.  Which way does God want our heart to go? What kind of heart is God looking for in you? In us as a community?   Listen to find out!

Jonah Charles preaches about what it looks like to live out the way of the cross.  Check out this sermon to learn how we get to participate in the divine reality.

We've all thought we knew best only to be disappointed.  Whether that'd be with relationships, investments, time & energy, or finding our way around the city.  We can often think we know best when it comes to the direction our lives should go, but we don't.  Good news!  God does. We have a choice to follow his way or to take the highway.

Easter reminds us that God is ready to give us a breakthrough.  

Palm Sunday Service of the Roanoke Valley Church  Jesus comes in triumphal procession to the joy of the crowd.  Do they know what kind of King he is, and what kingdom he brings?  They had their ideal king and kingdom in mind, and so do we.    Jesus comes in a way we did not expect, established a kingdom we did not want, but the one we need.  The choice the King g...

Jesus invites you to follow Him.   A wholehearted pursuit of imitation is the call.     In an age of originality and authenticity being the ultimate goal, let us recognize true originality was being made in the image of God.   Disciples of Jesus are meant to be intentional in our quest to be more and more like Jesus.

On a  special kickoff to our International Women's Week, Benjamin and Melina Hutchins, leaders in the New River Valley Region, share from Luke 8:1-3 in a lesson entitled "The Way of the Kingdom."     What shapes us - culture or the kingdom of God?    Consider this and more in this inspiring lesson!

A path with no light?  No thanks!  A car with no headlights? Nuh Uh.  **Our Way series continues with a lesson entitled "The Way Made Clear." -Main idea is that we need light to guide our paths & God's word is meant to be that for us all the time. -If we believe it be so, let us pay special attention to it.   Questions: We need light to illuminate our paths.  God's wor...

How God gets to our hearts.

Ever hit a wall?  Have you ever felt stuck or even opposed? The story of Joseph and the words describing him as a fruitful vine that scales the wall gives us hope that nothing can stop us.  This Joseph figure is not meant to spur us on to greater grit and self-reliance alone, but to see Jesus as that FOR us.  That Jesus gives us great faith that all things are possible!

Jesus’ way gives us rest for our souls. Join us on our path to do things God way.

Join the RVC as we begin our new sermon series entitled, "The Way."  None of us know what 2021 will bring, but what we must know is the one who is leading the way.   Jesus is the way.  Our hope is to know the way, walk in it, and show others the way.

We're coming out of the wilderness!   Isaiah 40:1-5

Having a laser focus on the most important thing sounds like a worthy resolution.  What is that perfect, most important, most valuable thing?  This sermon highlights Paul's words that the thing that has "surpassing worth", in greek his "super thing" is knowing Christ.   Let God's gift of righteousness, and his heart to take hold of us motivate us to have our laser focus being o...

Join the Roanoke Valley Church for our first worship service in 2021.  Newness of life is offered everyday, and while we rejoice in a new year we recognize the daily opportunity we have to walk in "newness of life."

Our series on Wilderness and Exile takes us to Numbers 13 & 14 where the 12 scouts are sent by Moses to report on Canaan.  What can we learn from this account?  How can we have faith in the wilderness as we look ahead to 2021?  1. God is Guiding 2. God is Promising 3. God is Good

Dr. Gabriel Santos of the Greater Richmond Church preaches about what the Magi teach us about Devotion. This sermon delves into a familiar story of the nativity to illuminate what we can learn about the Magi's journey to worship the Child Jesus.
