Church in the Valley - Ontario Ranch Campus

Our life is an orginal that has never been lived before and is shaped by the choices we make. At the same time, God wants my life to imitate the love of Christ.

The Lord leads us to develop a new pattern and way of living that affects the way we relate, handle situations, and deal with issues in our lives.

Our goal for spiritual growth should be to measure up to Christ's way of living and relating--to reach this goal we much change our mentality and our ways.

In reality, our lives are lived out before an eternal audience who is watching how we play our role in life, especially the way we treat others and invest our resources.

Today's decisions lay the foundation for our future-- learn how to work through decisions peacefully without panic.

Worries over money and work are disturbing--find out how to deal with these worries and experience peace of mind.

Conflict and problems in relationships can shake us up-- find out how to stay focused on the things that will help bring God's peace to your life.

When God extends His grace to us it allows us to treat other people with grace. In this message, Alex discusses how relationships are so much sweeter when grace is extended.

In this message Alex focuses on putting off the old life, living the new life, and renewing our mind. God helps us to do these things as we grow in grace.

Our relationship with God is built on nothing more than grace alone. This message focuses on salvation and grace and how this frees us to truly have a real relationship with God-- with no strings attached. God meets us where we are.

The order and design in the universe gives testimony to a designer. This message gives solid reasons for believing in the God of the Bible.

You can see the love and concern of the Creator in the provision He has made for life on this planet. This message will show how the design of the planet points to a Designer.

Guilt that turns to shame can keep you paralyzed in the past and steal your identity and joy in the present. God can take away our shame and restore our true identity and bring healing to the core of our being.

Your definition of success shapes your self image if it drives you to seek the approval of others and try to meet their expectations.

Our culture says that our source of value is based on outward things. Learn how your real identity has been crafted by God Himself. Beginning to see things the way God does can help you safeguard your true identity as you place the highest value on the inner you.

All of us want a love that never fails. When others disappoint us, it's easy to become resentful and bitter. Bitterness erodes our true identity. Learn how to recover your true identity and find protection from this identity theft.

We do our part of the overall mission while staying focused on the world mission of the whole church in our attitude, giving and sending people out to serve.

We pull together as a team to accomplish the things that God has assigned in Scripture. When needed, we change the way we do things to achieve good results.

When you decide to follow Christ you make it your aim to become like Him. Christ-likeness brings real benefits to our lives, both in relationships and our stewardships.

We can effectively share this treasure by investing (serving) in those around us and inviting them to events at CIV where they will see and hear the treasure (Gospel).

Neil Walker explains the importance of sharing our faith, or treasure, with others, and gives instruction on how to overcome fears and obstacles in doing so.

We are ordinary household vessels who carry around a priceless treasure--the gospel that leads us to know God and His glory. Salvation is a priceless treasure!

When we care about the little things (words, responsibilities, choices) God protects and blesses our lives.

Trouble is inevitable, but when we make Christ the boss of our life, He uses trouble to train us and grow our faith. Though inconvenient, it can be profitable and useful if we approach it in the right way.

Finding meaning in life comes when we are thankful and satisfied with God's provision. We will explore how contentment frees us up to serve God and others because we are motivated by what we have rather than what we do not have.
