Church in the Valley Alhambra

Every human life matters to God. So why do we so often treat people as disposable? The sixth commandment exposes our sinful desire to diminish the lives of others for our own gain, and points us to Jesus, who died in our place that we may live.

The fifth commandment is a building block of God’s design for humankind. It sets the pace for the second half of the 10 Commandments, helping us to relate to one another in truly human ways. Join us as we examine how honoring our parents helps us continue to build on the solid foundation of God’s moral law. Services are at 9am and 11am.

When you truly encounter God's grace, you can move from regret to a life of impact that God desires for you.

The fourth commandment can be very confusing. Does it mean we can’t work on Sunday? What does that look like on this side of the cross? Join us at 9am or 11am as we explore what rest in Christ looks like as we continue to honor God’s 4th commandment.

The third commandment teaches us to honor and revere God’s name. Often, we misuse God’s name without even knowing it, in the way that we act, talk or represent Christ to others. Join us on Sunday as we learn to lift up the holy name of God, in word and deed. Services are at 9am and 11am.

The second commandment prohibits idols, but we are so prone to create them in our hearts. How do we avoid idolatry and pursue relationship with God? Join us on Sunday as we look to Jesus, our only hope and defense! Services are at 9am and 11am.

Do we worship God alone as the Creator and Sustainer of all things and all people? Or, do we tack things on without even realizing it? This week we study the first commandment and see how we are to exclusively serve the Triune God in spirit and in truth. Join us at 9am or 11am.

The 10 Commandments were a gracious gift from God to His people after saving them from Egypt. Those stone tablets revealed the holy nature of God, exposed human sinfulness, and pointed people towards the coming Messiah. Do the 10 Commandments still apply to us today? How do we view them in light of Christ? Join us over the next 12 weeks as we dive deep into God's moral law and how it still drives...

Does your spiritual life ever feel like a checklist of duties rather than a life-giving relationship? What if growing closer to God isn't about trying harder, but living differently? Join us for this three-week series as we hit the reset button on our everyday walk with God.

What does it mean to think and act upon what is commendable? On Sunday we'll be challenged to pursue that which is thoughtful, appropriate, considered and careful. And, in doing so, to avoid careless or blasphemous talk that harms others. Join us at 9am or 11am and bring a friend!

We are made in God's image, designed to reflect His love in everything we do. Yet because of sin, we often replace God's love with selfishness and idolatry instead. The call to think about "whatever is lovely" grounds our decision-making in the reality of God's love, helping us discern how to truly love Him and love our neighbor as ourselves.

We need to talk about purity. I bet your heart started to race, just reading that to yourself. Sadly, purity is often a taboo topic in church life. But, when we start with God's definition of purity, we clearly see that it's a heart issue, not just ignoring it or trying to manage it. "Whatever is pure" is God's design for how we pursue holiness, based on Christ's work on our behalf. Join us on Sun...

How do we think and act upon "whatever is just" when we live in a world dominated by injustice? Nothing seems fair and it can often feel like the deck is stacked against us. Join us Sunday at 9am or 11am as we explore how Jesus is both the Just One and Justifier of our faith, giving us hope, even when injustice seems to reign!

What does it look like to make an honorable decision? Do we even think that way? Do our decisions seek out inherent value, weight and significance or do they reflect image crafting and performance-based effort? Join us on Sunday at 9am or 11am as we continue to think wisely and practice biblical decision making each week!

Have you ever been faced with a decision and you don't know which path to take? Have you ever opened up your heart in prayer, but it doesn't seem like there's a clear response? God's Word teaches us how to develop discernment so that we can have a framework for making good decisions as we follow Jesus. Join us on Sunday at 9am or 11am as we explore this much needed topic in the believer's life!

We often struggle, even as Christians, to have peace in our heart. We are anxious, worried, stressed, regretful and often afraid of what the future holds. Yet, Jesus promises us peace in the midst of everything. In our last sermon studying the Holy Spirit, we'll examine how the Spirit gives us peace so that we can follow Jesus confidently each day. Join us at 9am or 11am!

On Sunday we'll explore the help that the Spirit brings, both to convict people about Jesus, but also to aid us in our ongoing work of sanctification. We can be assured that the work to bring people to Jesus is guided by the Spirit and we can be confident that He continues to apply what Jesus accomplished for each believer. Join us at 9am or 11am!

Could you imagine being given all of the answers to the test before you take it? It would be a guaranteed 100% wouldn't it? This week as we continue to explore the Holy Spirit, we discover that Jesus' plan is to help us ace the tests of life. How? The Holy Spirit teaches us and helps us to remember everything Jesus said. Join us at 9am or 11am and bring a friend!

The least talked about member of the Trinity, by far, is the Holy Spirit. We struggle to understand who the Holy Spirit is and what He does. Yet, Scripture clearly shows us how the Helper is sent specifically to be our advocate, comforter and counselor. We need that kind of help, don't we? Join us as we learn more about the Holy Spirit and how we can have God's power to fight sin and walk by faith...

Today we wrap up 4 months studying the letter of Ephesians. We'll do one last overview and we'll be challenged to come up with 2-3 top takeaways from the study. What did God teach you over these past weeks and months? How will you continue to walk worthy of the calling each day as you follow Jesus? Join us at 9am or 11am and bring a friend!

Today we continue to explore Spiritual Warfare by looking at strongholds. The enemy loves to build up twisted lies in our minds that eventually become huge fortifications that dominate our thinking. Yet, God's Word tells us that we have power to tear them down and to bring every thought captive to Christ. Do you have strongholds that need to be destroyed? Join us at 9am or 11am as we look at 2 Cor...

Christians often feel powerless in the fight against evil and the enemy. But, within spiritual warfare, did you know that we have access to the most powerful weapon on earth? Today we'll look at how prayer must be part of the believer's arsenal as we put on the armor, stand firm and boldly proclaim the gospel! Join us at 9am or 11am and bring a friend.

The enemy has a desire and plan to devour your life. However, God has provided all you need to win the battle. Join us as we look at the armor of God.
