The Valley Church

In this message from the Good Ground series, we explore what it truly means to abide in Christ and produce lasting fruit. Drawing from John 15, this sermon unpacks Jesus’ powerful image of the vine, the branches, and God as the gardener—showing us that spiritual fruitfulness flows from constant connection, not self-effort. We wrestle honestly with seasons of unanswered prayer, spiritual dryness, a...

As we kick off the new year, we begin a new series called Good Ground. We dive into the parable of the sower from Luke 8 and explore what it means to be “good ground” for God’s word. We discuss how distractions, challenges, and the pressures of life can prevent the seed of God’s word from taking root, and how a receptive heart can grow deep roots that endure testing and produce lasting fruit. Join...

Christmas is more than a season, it’s an everyday truth that changes everything.

The birth of Jesus wasn’t just a quiet moment in history—it was the fulfillment of promises God had been making for centuries. This week, we walk through Matthew 2 to uncover how ancient prophecies, a mysterious star, the response of the wise men, and the fear of King Herod all point to one powerful truth: God keeps His word. As we explore the meaning behind the gifts given to Jesus and the contra...

In week 1 of our new series, Man of His Word, we explore the Road to Emmaus and the moment two discouraged travelers go from saying “we had hoped” to experiencing hearts that burn with renewed faith.

Whether you’re en...

On Celebration Sunday, we explore the story of the prodigal son through the lens of God’s extravagant grace and the Father who runs toward us. You’ll hear how Jesus uses this parable to show the depth of God’s love, the emptiness of life in the “distant country,” and the celebration that happens when we return home. Whether you relate to the younger son, the older brother, or someone simply in nee...

In this week's message, we conclude our Steps of Faith series by exploring one powerful truth: faith doesn’t make us more independent — it teaches us deeper dependence on Jesus. Using the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, we look at why only one man returned to give thanks and what that teaches us about gratitude, spiritual growth, and staying close to the Source of every blessing. If you’ve fou...

This week, we explore the powerful story of the sinful woman in Luke 7 and discover why surrender is one of the most life-changing steps of faith we can take.

Through this moving encounter between Jesus, a Pharisee, and a woman desperate for grace, we see the heart of...

In Week 3 of our Steps of Faith series , we talk about what it really means to take a step of faith—especially when the step in front of you feels impossible. Looking at the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10, we unpack three truths about every faith-filled step: it begins with a real need, it requires perseverance when doubt or discouragement push back, and it ultimately leads to a deeper connection...

As we continue our series Steps of Faith, Pastor Mike speaks on steps of faith we can take when it comes to our finances, drawing from the story of the widow’s offering in Mark 12.

As we begin our new series for October, we explore what it means for God’s power to be “made perfect in weakness.” Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Mike shares how Paul’s thorn in the flesh reveals a deeper truth—that our struggles and unmet expectations are not obstacles, but opportunities for God’s strength to dwell within us. From the cracks in our soul to the light of the cross, we’ll dis...
