The Valley Church of Christ

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville It’s sometime around 400 BC. Israel and Judah have gone into exile, but leftover remnants returned home to rebuild the Jerusalem and the temple. God had promised he would (1) come fill the temple with glory and (2) send a king like David to rule from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. But they became concerned about the...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville If this sermon is hard to hear, know please know that it is hard to deliver. I am not craving to deliver a spiritual spanking, but if that is what this text delivers to us, I ask that we humbly receive it. We have all been there: you excitedly share a story with your friends and fami...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville If you ever feel like there’s always something undone, like there’s ten browsers open in the back of your mind and half of them are flashing red and urgent while the other half aren’t even loading — it’s because this life is work. In this life things will alw...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville New products always come with manuals. Even though they have made a great product, if we don't use it right, we will ruin it. Romans 6 is like manual for grace. In Romans 1-5 Paul has convinced us that the whole world is under God’s wrath.  Human strength cannot earn God’s inheritance.  But, for those...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (1) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville Have you ever had one of those moments where you were so full of regret you didn’t even want to be comforted? In fact, people couldn’t comfort you. You had ignored all the sound counsel, you went ahead anyway, and now there was nothing you or anyone could do about it: it was too late. The prophets warned God&#...

Series: Daniel (Faith among Babylonians) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville The Lord gave Judah into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon in 605 BC. Babylon hand-picked smart, good-looking youths from the royal family to serve the king. Among this group were Daniel and his three friends. They were trained in the language, literature, and ways of Babylon, but they r...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville School is out for summer. I feel bad for you kids because for most of us school is out forever! Poor things. But it’s the time for some much needed rest. Some families will take a vacation. But, afterwards, if you’re a parent, you will need a vacation from vacation. We ar...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville The church has been out of fashion for a long time, but in some ways it is coming back, growing in popularity. But as the church grows in popularity, we need to keep our heads about us lest we be remade in the world’s image: what is the church? Notice Ephesians 2:19-22. Paul speaks of the church as the temple. We ar...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville I love how confidently little ones express their desire to love and serve God. “I will always love God,” “I will always follow Jesus.” But sometimes reality shines through and they have this moment when they realize that not everyone always does this. Why someone w...

(Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18) – 5/25/25 Some time back I received a promotional e-mail from a pizza chain asking me to help fight childhood hunger. If you gave $25 or more, you would receive a free meal and restaurant t-shirt (which is weird because the cost of a t-shirt and a meal is $...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville Read Hebrews 3:1-6. Let me simply state what he does here. He tells us we all together share in a heavenly calling, purpose (what is it?!);Well, first: we need to consider that Jesus is a faithful builder of God’s house just as Moses was a faithful servant in God’s house. Then...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (1) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville I received a text from a teen living somewhere else in the U.S. who is frustrated: she’s not feeling nourished by the high school Bible class where she is, she wants to get more out of her study, but she doesn’t know how. I told her this is an important opportunity because this won’t be the last time somethin...

Series: Hebrews (Cling to Jesus in the Wilderness) Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville It did not take long for Israel to discover that journeying through the wilderness and conquering the land of Canaan would require more faith than it required to cry for freedom from slavery in the first place. And after all God had done for them, they caved to the pressures of despair, a...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (1) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville Do you ever wonder if you are the real deal? Whether God considers you his child, whether you have eternal life? John says in 1 John 5:13, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”  The Christians John was writing to were in a difficu...

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM (2) Type: Sermon Speaker: Scott Kercheville Reading ancient mythology can be surprising as a Christian — the gods of Greece, Rome, and various cultures are often quite selfish and evil. They sleep around, scheme, break rules, and get revenge. It’s a reminder of what Paul says: those gods, those idols, they are no gods, they are demons. And the sad reality is...
