Church in the Valley Alhambra

This Sunday we'll look at 2 Timothy 2, examining our response to people around us. Paul sets up two examples; one that relies on God and rightly handles the word of truth and the other that is marked by quarreling, irreverent babble and ungodliness. It's not hard to see how the second example runs rampant in our culture and easily seeps into the church. Just open any social media platform and read...

For the month of January the new sermon series will look exclusively at missions and ministry, both locally and around the world. Each year, our church takes up a special Christmas offering that supports those who have given their lives towards the advancement of the gospel. We'll be studying the letter of 2 Timothy and encouraging the church to be "Mission Ready" as we support and encourage those...

To wrap up our time in Luke 1-2 we'll look at the final piece to the Christmas symphony, the long-awaited birth. Jesus enters the stage and in doing so, hundreds and hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament are fulfilled. The waiting is over as Jesus comes and rescues us from our sin! Join us Sunday at 10:30am and see how Jesus' birth involved waiting, but also a complete and final fulfillment...

We invite you, with your family and friends, to join us for Church Around the Table! Brunch will be served, and you'll have an opportunity to talk and share with one another in a small group.

This week we look at 5 responses in Luke 1 and 2. Three of them flow out of the angelic announcements from last week and two of them are reactions from Jesus’ birth. All of them result in songs of praise to God as they make up the overarching symphony of Christmas in the birth narrative. How do you respond to Jesus’ birth? Is it with praise and glory for what God has accomplished? Join us at 10:30...

To kick off the Christmas season we'll look at three angelic announcements in Luke 1 and 2. In each situation, the angel says, "do not fear!" Then, it is quickly followed with an announcement of great joy. We typically don't think that joyful proclamations start with fear, but when we dig deep, we see that Zechariah, Mary and the shepherds react initially with disbelief, confusion and outright ter...

We want to find explanations and reasons for everything and it drives us crazy when things don't work out as they should. Or when the supposed happy ending seems to fizzle out into nothing. Certainly, we're promised an abundant life in Christ with purpose and eternity with God, but then why is life so complicated and difficult, even for believers? Ecclesiastes teaches us to temper our quest for an...

Each of us come into the Kingdom with an approach to life already in place. We will learn to recognize these and discover how we can move from them towards God's perspective.

Psalm 67 teaches us about God's blessings, but there is an important component that we often miss. God blesses us so that we will be a blessing to others. God does not want us to be a stagnant lake, but a living recipient that blesses others, so that people will know God's ways. How can you bless others? Join us to find out!
