This message, taught by Micheal Davis, explores the sobering reality of Christian suffering as ordained by God. It challenges believers to see persecution and hardship not as purposeless trials but as sanctifying tools that glorify God and amplify the gospel. Anchored in Scripture, it reveals how suffering shapes our character, glorifies Christ through our endurance, and spreads the message of hope to the lost. Despite the weight of suffering, the message concludes with the ultimate hope of eternal glory, where every trial will be overshadowed by the unending joy of union with Christ.

James 1:19-26 Greek deep dive!

In this episode, we confront the challenging yet crucial question: how should Christians approach voting? Many believers struggle with connecting their faith to civic responsibilities, especially in a culture that insists on keeping spirituality separate from public life. We’ll dive deep into Romans 13, exploring Paul’s teachings on authority and what it means to submit to God’s design for governing structures. By examining historical examples—like the early Church’s stand against infanticide and the Reformers’ stance on biblical truth—we’ll build a compelling case for why voting isn’t merely a civic duty but a profound act of faith.

This conversation isn’t about partisan politics; it’s about aligning our choices with biblical convictions, upholding life, justice, and truth as ambassadors of Christ in a broken world. If you’ve ever wrestled with the idea of voting as an extension of your faith, this episode will offer perspective, guidance, and a call to bold, unwavering commitment to God’s truth in every area of life.

We dive into the climactic finale of God’s redemptive plan—the New Creation. From creation’s fall to Christ’s victory over death, this episode explores how every moment in the biblical narrative builds toward the ultimate renewal, where heaven and earth unite, sin is defeated, and God’s people are transformed into glorified bodies. Join us as we uncover what it means to live boldly in the promise of resurrection life, awaiting the day when God’s Kingdom comes in full power and beauty.

This week at Valley, we dive into the heart of our faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We’ll unpack the historical reliability of these world-shaking events, grounding our faith not in myth or legend, but in fact. Through the resurrection, we see the ultimate victory over death, sin, and the powers of darkness, confirming that Jesus is who He said He was: the Son of God and the Savior of the world.

But that’s not where it ends. The ascension is equally crucial, as it marks Christ’s exaltation and the beginning of His reign as King over all creation. He didn’t just defeat death—He was enthroned in glory, securing our future with the promise of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us for life and mission today.

Join us as we explore how these events call us to live boldly, proclaiming the truth of the Gospel with full assurance and confidence in the victory Christ has already won. This is a message of both theological depth and practical power—what does it mean for us today to live in light of the resurrection and ascension of Christ? Let’s find out together.

In this challenging message, we dive deep into the life and ministry of Jesus, focusing on the true essence of discipleship. We’ll explore how Jesus didn’t come just to perform miracles or deliver feel-good teachings—He came to call men and women to a radical, life-altering journey of following Him. Drawing from the Gospels, we’ll examine the cost of discipleship, the necessity of total surrender, and how Christ patiently reveals Himself to His followers over time.

This message will challenge you to examine your own walk with Christ: are you truly a disciple rooted in the unshakable truth of Scripture, or are you chasing a comfortable version of Christianity that won’t hold up in times of trial? Join us as we explore what it really means to take up your cross daily, deny yourself, and follow the One who gave everything for you.

Starting in John 1, we explore the radical concept of the Logos—the eternal Word of God—who became flesh and dwelt among us. This isn’t just a theological idea; it’s the heart of the Gospel, where eternity enters time, and the Creator walks among His creation. We delve into the depths of church history, unpacking key doctrines like the Hypostatic Union and how the early church fathers, through councils like Chalcedon, defended these truths. Then, we’ll confront the theological necessity of the virgin birth, discussing how Christ, as the second Adam, bypassed original sin through His divine conception. This sermon challenges us to live in awe of God’s eternal plan, culminating in the Incarnation—a plan that stretches from eternity past to the fulfillment of all things. Join us for a powerful exploration of Christ, the eternal Logos, who took on flesh to redeem us.
