Valley Creek Church Weekend Messages

Gratitude is the normal response to receiving God's grace, and it's the language of God's kingdom. So, how's your gratitude? We live with a spirit of gratitude. In this message, Pastor Jason Hillier shares practical ways to cultivate the garden of gratitude in our lives: stop and reflect, make a list, say it out loud, and say it to others.

What would other people say you are passionate about? Passion is, by definition, that which we suffer for, or that which costs us something. So, what has cost you something in this season? We are passionate about the presence of God; we are a worshipping church. In this message, Pastor John Stickl walks us through that we were created to live in the presence of God, he talks through six dimensions...

Jesus says in Luke 11:28, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” There is a blessing that comes when we slow down and spend time responding to God's invitations! In this message, Pastor Jason Hillier walks us through a time of worship and reflection as we put into practice what God has been saying to us about living as a family on mission and doing every...

How's your heart? Is it healthy, whole, and free, or is it divided, apathetic, or worn out? Do you ever work on your heart? We were created by God to do everything with all our heart because what happens in our heart flows into every area of our life. In this message, Pastor John Stickl helps us learn that being present, being passionate, and a sense of purity before the Lord is how we do everythi...

Are you a beloved son or daughter of God living in a family on mission? While we all start as spiritual orphans in this world, because of Jesus, God has adopted us into His family as beloved sons or daughters. The Church is not meant to be a religious institution; the Church is meant to be a family on mission. In this message, Pastor John Stickl walks through what a healthy family on mission looks...

What would it look like to practice pursuing unity with everything you have in your life today? Unity is when we choose to come into agreement and alignment with God for the good of others and the glory of God. In this experience, all our Campus Pastors and Worship Leaders came together as one to help us practice unity together. Where in your life is Jesus inviting you to pursue unity with everyth...

One of the best ways to bring God's kingdom to earth is by pursuing unity with everything we have, because the world sees God through our unity. So, what is unity? It's not uniformity, blind allegiance, or tolerance. Unity is when we choose to come into agreement and alignment with God for the good of others and the glory of God. In this message, Pastor John Stickl helps us see how unity is the he...

What if we need to repent on being quick to repent? What if we need to change our thinking on the word repentance? What if repentance is actually how we invite hope into our lives? The main message of Jesus is, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17) So, our main response is repentance. In this message, Pastor John Stickl helps us think about our thinking, align our hearts a...

What if repentance is different than we think? What if, instead of hellfire and brimstone, repentance is a hope-filled encounter with the grace of God? What if we need to actually repent on the word repentance? One of the values of God's Kingdom is being quick to repent. In this message, Pastor John Stickl walks us through how repentance is going back and getting God's perspective. Maturity is not...

Are you Jesus-focused, Spirit-filled, and Life-giving? Being Jesus-focused means we focus more on what Jesus has done for us than on what we have to do for Him. Being Spirit-filled means we walk in the character and power of Jesus. Being Life-giving means we're on mission to receive and release the life of Jesus wherever we go. In this message, Pastor John Stickl helps us see how this kingdom valu...

For the last message in the It's Time series, we reflect back on what the Holy Spirit has been saying to us as we've asked, "What is it time for in my life that glorifies God?" Pastor Jason Hillier helps us look back on what we've learned about aligning our lives with the divine season that God is inviting us into. It's time to move, be planted, make it right, and seek God in Jesus' name!

What is it time for in your life that glorifies God? What does your calendar show about what you believe it's time for? You'll find what you're looking for – so what are you looking for today? In this message, Pastor John Stickl shares that it's time to seek God because it's always time to seek God. Pastor John shares three practical ways to position ourselves to seek God: engage the Scriptures, g...

Where has your heart gotten hurt or experienced pain this last season? What offenses or bitterness have you picked up recently? Who do you need to forgive, apologize to, or thank? One of the highest forms of worship is reconciliation, yet it's often one of the last things we want to do. The heart work is the hard work, and as hard as it is, it's always worth it! In this message, Pastor John Stickl...

What if the Church is actually the most relevant thing for your life in this world? What if it's time to get planted, rooted, established, and committed to the people of God? What if church is actually not about us? A tree is planted and its roots go down deep so it can bear fruit for others to enjoy. In this message, Pastor John Stickl shares that the entire point of church is not what we can get...

When was the last time you considered your future or destiny? When was the last time you moved forward with Jesus and took a next step? Don't miss the opportunity God has for you in this season. It's time to move in Jesus' name! In this message, Pastor John Stickl shares that maturity is moving toward and with Jesus no matter what. So, instead of asking, "What time is it?" and focusing on our cloc...

How's this for the description: From our first breath to our last, we're meant to praise God with everything that we are. So, what is praise, why do we praise, and how do we praise? In this message, Pastor Jason Hillier walks us through the what, why, and how of praise as we read through Psalm 150 together. Praising God isn't just something we do; praise is life itself!

What is the song your heart is singing today? Is it a song you want others to sing? Psalms 145:4 says, "One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts." If we want to raise up generations of hope carriers, we must look in the mirror and ask what song our heart is singing. In this message, Pastor Dave Scriven helps us see how we can create a new legacy of generational...

Have you ever forgotten something important? Maybe it was a birthday or anniversary or that person's name on the tip of your tongue. At the same time, we can't get those song lyrics or movie quotes out of our heads. Sometimes we remember the most random things yet forget some of the most important. And sometimes we do this with God. We can't remember the verse we just read, yet we can't seem to fo...

Happy Fourth of July weekend! We won't have weekend experiences at our physical campuses, so join us for our online-only experience! How's this year of kingdom momentum going for you? We're moving forward with Jesus little by little this year.

Where have you seen God's faithfulness in your life? Maybe at this moment, you find it hard to celebrate because of the pains of life. Maybe there's a prayer you don't want to or even know how to pray. Maybe at this moment, you can't stop praising Jesus for who He is and what He's done. No matter where you're at, because of Jesus, there is so much worth celebrating! In this experience, we talk thr...

Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like your wheels keep spinning but you're going nowhere? Are you looking for a way out? Only Jesus can help you get unstuck and satisfy you while you are stuck. In this message, we talk about how God is good even when we're stuck, and when we stop looking for a way out, God shows us a way through.

What songs are you singing? Are the songs of disappointment filling your mind? Do you feel disappointed with circumstances, people, or life?

We're encouraged to remember that God is our foundation, God is our help, and God is good to us....

In order to sing a song from your heart, you have to have a song in your heart. So, what is the song of your heart? Is it a song of this world or a song from the Holy Spirit? Is it a song of joy or despair? Is it a song of hope or fear? In this message, Pastor Jason Hillier walks through Psalms 1 and shows us how to meditate on the songs of life. So, as you watch this, may the songs of life bring...

The Kingdom of God is divinely designed and has a divine intentionality and plan to it, and as a church, we want to align with that divine design and intentionality. In this message, we walk through three things that are important to us and are by design.

Who runs your life, and what are you hungry for? Those are two important questions we ask in this message because the answer to those questions reveals whether we're walking in the flesh or in the Spirit. Jesus wants us to have all of God, not just some of God. In this message, Pastor John Stickl shares that you can have as much of God as you want – so, how much of God do you want?
