Valleyview Church

The early church was devoted to the prayers. Not as a religious obligation. Not as something to check off. As something they couldn't imagine living without. In this teaching from Acts 2:42, we look at what made the disciples' prayer life so different — and it starts with what they watched. They walked with Jesus. They saw him withdraw before dawn, slip away in the middle of miracles, live...

What comes to mind when you think of a father? Not just in the biological sense, but in light of what Scripture reveals about fatherhood and discipleship. In this Father's Day teaching, Caleb walks through how fatherhood was never meant to be defined by biology alone. It's a call to disciple, modeled first by Jesus, who did nothing of His own accord but only what He saw the Father doing. A...

In this week's teaching from Acts 2, Caleb walks through one of the most misunderstood practices of the early church — and why the way we gather around the table reveals everything about the health of our community. From the Passover roots of Communion to Paul's hard words to the Corinthians, this is a call to come to the table not for yourself, but for one another. Because the same body w...

In Part 1 of our "Back to Acts" series, we step into Acts 2:42-47 and ask a question that has stirred many hearts: Is this all there is to church, or is there something more? The early church wasn't defined by an event they attended - it was defined by a lifestyle they lived together. This passage gives us a picture of a community that was stubbornly faithful: devoted to the apostles...

What are we missing out on when we settle for the next quick encouragement instead of waiting on the voice of the Lord? In an age of endless voices — teachers, preachers, podcasts, devotionals, inspirational posts, and now AI-generated content — we have to ask: Do we actually know the voice of the Lord, or are we just familiar with it? When was the last time we truly heard from Him? Are we afraid...

In this final teaching of the  Near the Brokenhearted  series, Pastor Caleb lands on the truth that has been building all along: we have purpose in the body of Christ. Through 2 Corinthians 1 and the restoration of Peter, we see that Jesus doesn't disqualify us by our failures — He intercedes for us, meets us in our shame, and calls us back to Himself. We aren't redeemed unto nothing. We a...

What does it look like to be a family that prays for one another? In this teaching, we close out the 'Family That Heals' portion of our series by looking at the call to intercession — the honor of praying for one another, the weight of neglecting it, and the incredible truth that when we pray, we are joining Jesus in what He is already doing.

In Part 5 of Near the Brokenhearted, we continue exploring what it looks like for the family of God to walk alongside those who are hurting — and we go deeper into one of the most important callings of the body of Christ: bearing one another's burdens. What does it actually mean to bear someone's burden? And what's the difference between the load we're each meant to carry and the weight that has b...

In this teaching, we fix our eyes on Jesus—the One who didn't observe our condition from a distance, but stepped fully into it. The Word who spoke galaxies into existence became flesh and dwelt among us. Though He was rich, He became poor for our sake. He emptied Himself, took on the form of a servant, and humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross. This is truth that transforms us when...

In Part 4 of  Near the Brokenhearted , the focus shifts from those carrying heavy burdens to the calling of the  family of God  to walk with one another through healing and restoration. What does it look like for the Church to reflect the heart of Christ toward those who are hurting? In this message, we explore how the body of Christ is called to  see others with compassion, listen with humility,...

In Part 3 of  Near the Brokenhearted , we continue exploring the barriers that can make us feel distant from God and from one another. This message focuses on two powerful walls— shame and pride —and how they quietly isolate us, distort how we see ourselves, and hinder our intimacy with the Lord. We look at how shame keeps us buried under guilt and accusation, while pride convinces us we can handl...

Even though nothing can separate us from the love of God, there are moments when we still feel distant and alone. In Part 2 of  Near the Brokenhearted , we explore the internal walls that distort our perception and isolate us — specifically hidden sin and fear. Discover how confession brings healing, how prayer breaks fear’s grip, and how God’s love remains constant even when we feel cut off from...

In this opening message of  Near the Brokenhearted , we explore God’s nearness in the midst of depression, anxiety, fear, and deep sorrow. Rooted in Psalm 34:17–18, this teaching reminds us that our emotions are not sin, our struggles are not our identity, and our pain does not push God away — it draws Him near. Discover how to anchor your identity in God’s Word, take heart in Christ’s victory, an...

As we enter the final week of our 21-day fast, this message calls us to finish well — not by striving, but by fixing our eyes on Jesus. Throughout this series we’ve explored why we fast, how fasting shapes us, and how God responds when we seek Him. Now, as the fast becomes harder and the temptation to coast grows stronger, Scripture invites us to hold on, stand firm, and take heart. Drawing from P...

As we enter the first full week of our 21-day fast, this teaching offers practical encouragement for running well, finishing well, and seeking the Lord without pressure or perfectionism. While fasting increases our capacity to receive from God, the lived experience can often feel weak, messy, or discouraging. But Scripture shows us that weakness is not a disqualification — it’s the very place wher...

What does fasting actually  do  in us—and how does God respond when we seek Him? In this teaching, we continue our journey into fasting as our church begins a corporate 21-day fast. This message reframes fasting away from pressure, performance, or religious obligation and invites us into something deeper: hunger, humility, and dependence on God. Drawing from Psalm 27, the teachings of Jesus, and t...

As we begin our 21-day corporate fast, this teaching centers our hearts on why we fast and who we’re fasting for. Fasting isn’t about performance or pressure—it’s about creating space for more of God. In this message, we explore how fasting reveals our dependence on Him, reorders our desires, and invites us to live with a renewed focus on what matters most. As a church family, we’re entering this...

As we celebrate Advent and prepare our hearts for Christmas, we pause to marvel at the humility of Jesus—Emmanuel, God with us. In this teaching, we consider who Christ truly is: the exalted, eternal God whose glory is above the heavens… and yet He stoops to look upon heaven and earth. And then we look at how He came—not with pomp and power, but with unimaginable humility. The Word became flesh. T...

In today’s teaching, we continue exploring why humility isn’t just a virtue—it’s the atmosphere where spiritual growth actually happens. Humility is the soil where the Holy Spirit matures us, shapes our service, and forms the life of Christ within us. Building on last week’s message, we look at passages like  James 1 ,  Ephesians 4 ,  Colossians 1 ,  1 Peter 5 ,  Philippians 2 , and  Mark 10 , and...

In today's teaching, we continue to explore why humility isn’t just a virtue—it’s the very environment in which God transforms us. From repentance to intimacy to spiritual maturity, humility is the foundation God requires for a life shaped by His Word and His presence. In this episode, we look at passages such as  James 1 ,  2 Chronicles 7 ,  Proverbs 28 ,  Joel 2 , and  James 4 , and we disco...

In this episode, we continue exploring what it truly means to  walk humbly with God —not just as a posture of the heart, but as the way we actively participate in His work. Drawing from Psalms, Ephesians, Colossians, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, we look at how humility keeps us close to what God is doing, how it reshapes our understanding of “success,” and how it anchors us in what He values mo...

In this episode, we continue exploring Micah 6:8 and what it really means to  walk humbly with your God. Sometimes we’re not far off — just a degree away — trusting what we see or feel more than what God says. But humility brings us back. It’s the posture that lets Jesus meet us right where we are — in our best and worst moments — and speak truth, grace, and direction. Through passages like  Mark...

In this message, Pastor Caleb continues the  What Does God Desire  series, exploring the final call of Micah 6:8 — to  walk humbly with your God . After weeks of examining what it means to act justly and love mercy, this teaching turns to humility as the essential posture that keeps us aligned with God’s heart. Through passages in Micah 6, Amos 5, and Psalms 18 & 25, we discover that God isn’t...

In this teaching, we unpack Jesus’ call in Luke 6 to love our enemies and show mercy like our Father in heaven. Discover how a pure heart and godly perspective empower us to forgive, bless, and walk in supernatural love overflowing with grace and compassion.

In this teaching, we continue exploring how a pure heart empowers us to bless and pray for others—even those who mistreat us. Learn how forgiveness, intercession, and compassion align us with God’s heart, allowing His mercy and power to flow through our lives.
