Ben Lillard opens Proverbs 2 for us, showing us how wisdom comes from relationship with the all-wise God.

Ben Lillard takes us through the second week of our series in Proverbs, listening to Lady Wisdom as she cries aloud in the streets.

Anthony begins the summer series in the book of Proverbs. What is the difference between the wise and foolish person? Where does wisdom begin?

We look together at the events of Pentecost in Acts 2 and see how they are the culmination of the story of the Bible from even the very beginning.

Anthony walks through the ramifications of Jesus' ministry in His ascension, a strange Biblical doctrine packed with meaning.

Anthony uses the next portion of the Easter lectionary readings to talk about what it means to ask God to heal, with all of the possibilities of what yes and no might feel like. [This sermon was from May 11, but did not upload properly at that time.]

Anthony looks at Acts 16 to see how Paul becomes the kind of person who ends up in a place he didn't plan to speak to a woman he couldn't know. What does this show us about being a person on mission?

This week, Anthony looks at the story of Peter and Cornelius to see how the Holy Spirit moves his people toward unexpectedly good things with grace and power.

This week, Anthony looks at Acts 9 and Revelation 5 to meditate on what happens when the Holy Spirit works in our lives and why it's safe to trust Him.

This week, VHC Elder Ben Lillard begins a series leading up to Pentecost in which we will focus on the person and work of the Holy Spirit using the lectionary texts for the season. This week, readings are from Acts 5, the Gospel of John, and Revelation 1.

This is the recording of the sermon at our outdoor service for Easter 2025. The audio has an echo due to being recorded outside.

Anthony concludes our series in Galatians, looking at Paul's insistence of viewing the Cross as the key to life.

As we near the end of our series on Galatians, Anthony walks through what Paul describes as some facets of what it means to live in interdependent and accountable communities of faith.

Anthony continues on to a famous portion of Galatians- the fruit of the Spirit. What does the vision of the Good Life look like in light of the Gospel proclaimed by Paul.

Ben Lillard continues our series in Galatians by opening chapter 5. What does it mean to be a part of the family and not continually try to earn membership in that family?

We finish chapter 4 in Galatians today with Paul's telling of a Bible story to back up his points thus far. What is it that Christ came to do?

How does the Holy Spirit change everything to make the promised, described one family of blessing in the world? Anthony continues on in our series on Galatians.

This week, Anthony unpacks the implications of the reality that Jesus establishes one family of blessing from all of the nations and classes and distinctions of the earth.

After some reflection from our first Helene house blessing, Anthony covers the next section of Galatians. What was the purpose of the Law, if not to provide the fulfillment of Abraham's promise?

Returning from vacation, Anthony covers the next section of Paul's letter that connects the story of Jesus to the story of Israel. What is the mark of Abraham's family?

Ben Lillard, an elder at Valley Hope, covers the next section in our series on Galatians.

Anthony unpacks some of the most famous words in the New Testament that tell us of the freedom and necessity of being in Jesus.

What should Christian conflict like in light of the Gospel? What do we fight over and how do we fight? And why should Christians care so much to not give up on conflict with each other?

Today we listen to Paul's biographical sketch and see what it says about who God is and what happens when He works.

On a snowy Sunday that canceled the 9am service, Anthony goes through the next segment of Galatians. How do we know when we are feeling the pressure to add on to the Gospel and what do we do to avoid it?
