Valley Life - Sermon Audio

The songs of Israel as preserved in the Psalms, served many purposes. One of those, was to highlight and honor high moments in the lives of the monarchy. But why would Israelites sing about the king in worship? Maybe, they weren't singing about an ordinary king...#ValleyLifeChurch #Psalms #Royal

Christians and churches have largely lost the art of lament in personal and corporate faith expressions. What is lament and what role should it play in your life and walk with God?#ValleyLifeChurch #Psalms #Lament

Have you ever stopped to think about why we sing songs in church? It's not a practice that we do when gathering together in other group settings. Where did the practice come from? Why do we do it? What's the point? #ValleyLifeChurch #Psalms #Praise

We do what we do, not because of what we believe, but because of what we value. What do you value? #ValleyLifeChurch #Values #DevotedToPrayer

Looking for Jesus but can't find him? It's not that he's not here, it's that we aren't looking right. #ValleyLifeChurch #FindingJesus #Resurrection

We've all seen artistic expressions of the crucifixion of Jesus in art and film. But do we really know what crucifixion was like?#ValleyLifeChurch #Crucifixion #RealityCheck

There are almost an infinite number of ways in which we can finish the statement: I am ______. What is your source for completing that statement? Is it your past? Is it someone in your life? Is it culture? Or do you allow God to determine who you are? In Christ, WE ARE GLORIFIED! #ValleyLifeChurch #Identity #Iam

In world surrounded by people, most feel completely alone. In a time and age when we can open up our phone a get an exact number for how many friends we have, most feel unseen and unknown. In Christ, we discover that WE ARE KNOWN! #ValleyLifeChurch #Identity #IamKnown

Who am I and what would be think if they knew the real me? Would they care? Would they be ashamed? Would they reject me? In Christ, we discover that WE ARE LOVED! #ValleyLifeChurch #Identity #Loved

Who am I? It's a question we all ask of ourselves. Everyone is on a search for a true identity; one that isn't determined by our circumstances or our past. In Christ, we discover that we are NEW! #ValleyLifeChurch #Identity #New

We finally come to the resolution of Ruth's story and we find redemption for Ruth and Naomi. We're also introduced to the redeemer... though it's not who you might expect. #ValleyLifeChurch #Ruth #Resolution #Redemption

Who are you? It's a question we all must answer in life. And a question that Ruth had to wrestle through in chapter 3. #ValleyLifeChurch #Ruth #Redemption #Identity

We all love a great story, but what makes a story a great one? All great stories share certain characteristics and Ruth is no exception. #ValleyLifeChurch #Ruth #CharacterDevelopment

Ruth is the ultimate story of redemption, love, and provision. Join us through the month of February as we experience the retelling of this eternal story. #ValleyLifeChurch #Ruth #Redemption

We all have a part to play in God's mission in this world. #ValleyLifeChurch #FreeIn23

Thinking through and praying through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. #ValleyLifeChurch #Prayer

As we look forward to a new year, we must also reflect back on the last year. An honest assessment of the past is the only way to prepare for the future. But what do we do when that assessment is a FAIL?!? #ValleyLifeChurch #Nevertheless #NewYear

In giving Jesus, God was also giving us love. He loved us first. He took the first step. His love transforms us to be able to love others. #ValleyLifeChurch #Christmas #Gifts

Christmas season reminds us of the hope we have in Jesus. Our hope can endure and conquer all things because we place our hope, not in a what, but in a who. And our hope is a LIVING HOPE! #ValleyLifeChurch #Christmas #Gifts

Christmas is FORgiving. The birth of Jesus of Nazareth made true and everlasting forgiveness available to us all. And it's a call to give the gift of forgiveness to others. #ValleyLifeChurch #Christmas #Gifts

Christmas is well known for the gifting giving tradition that accompanies almost every friend, family, and work gathering of the season. Christmas is a time that we remember the gifts God has given to us and those we are called to give to others. #ValleyLifeChurch #Christmas #Gifts
