Some of the most challenging passages in Colossians deal with marriage, parenting, authority, and work—but understanding the context changes everything. In this message, we explore Colossians 3:17–4:1 and discover that Paul’s instructions aren't about power and control; they're about living a new life in Christ and treating every relationship as an act of worship. When Jesus is Lord over everythin...

Questions Jesus Asked pt. 2 - What is our primary mission? by Valley Real Life

Relationships are one of God’s greatest gifts—but they were never meant to take His place. In this message, we explore how even good relationships can slowly become idols when we look to people for the identity, peace, and fulfillment that only Jesus can provide. Discover how putting Jesus back at the center allows us to love others in a healthier, God-honoring way. Subscribe to be notified of new...

In this message from our “No Other Gods” series, we explore the Idol of Pleasure—the belief that happiness and fulfillment can be found in chasing experiences, comfort, and temporary satisfaction. Looking at the life of King Solomon in Ecclesiastes, we discover that even unlimited wealth, power, and pleasure ultimately left him empty. This sermon challenges us to realign our hearts, reminding us t...

This week, in our “No Other Gods” series, we confront the idol of image and comparison—the exhausting cycle of measuring ourselves against everyone else.

Discover the freedom that comes from humility, honest self-eva...

In week two of our No Other Gods series, we confront one of the most subtle idols of our time: success. Through the wisdom of Solomon and a powerful personal story of rise, collapse, and redemption, we discover why success is a liar, why our value isn’t tied to our net worth, and why significance—not status—is what truly lasts. If you’ve ever measured your worth by achievement, this message will r...

Pain is something we all experience—but what if God is doing more in it than we realize? This week, we’re talking about how the Holy Spirit doesn’t waste our pain. Instead of simply removing discomfort, He uses suffering to form Christlike character, deepen our dependence on God, and produce real hope. The Spirit doesn’t promise a pain-free life—He promises a formed life. And the life He’s forming...

This week at Valley Real Life, we continue our Formed series by exploring how prayer is one of the primary ways the Holy Spirit shapes us from the inside out.
