  • Philemon: A Gospel-Sized Letter on Forgiveness, Substitution, and Reconciliation
    Apr 29 2025

    Scott Hamilton walks us through Paul's personal and power-packed letter to Philemon, showing how it embodies the gospel’s core doctrines of reconciliation and substitution. This isn't just a private note from Paul—it’s a public testimony about the radical demands of Christian love, the reordering of social status in Christ, and what true forgiveness looks like when it’s lived out in the flesh. Paul doesn’t just urge Philemon to forgive a runaway slave—he steps in, offers to pay the debt, and models the atonement itself. This message reminds us that while the gospel is intensely personal, it’s never private—and your response to grace will always be seen by the world.

  • Easter at the Valley | It Is Finished: The Death That Ended Death
    Apr 29 2025

    On Easter weekend, Micheal Davis walked us through the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ by reading and reflecting on John 19 and 20, with supporting prophecy from Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22. With a humble and careful spirit, he reminded us that the cross is not just a symbol of love or sacrifice, but a declaration of finality: "It is finished."

    We saw the crimson thread tying together Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, and the Gospels—that our sin demanded death, and God provided a Lamb. The cross was not a tragedy. It was victory. Christ was crushed by the will of the Father, not because the Father delights in pain, but because He delights in redemption. We see the weight of sin, the wrath of God, and the power of grace converge in one moment.

    Then, the tomb was empty. The resurrection vindicated Jesus as God, conquered death, and secured our hope. This was not magic or myth, but public, historic, testified reality. Because Christ rose, those who are in Him will also rise.

    Micheal walked us through the logic of the resurrection, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the comfort of Christ’s words: "Peace be with you." For those who are in Christ, death no longer reigns. Jesus does.

    "You are not clinging to a wish. You are held by a Risen King."

  • Hebrews 6 | The Horror of Apostasy and the Anchor of Christ
    Apr 29 2025

    This lesson dives headfirst into one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament—Hebrews 6—and Valley doesn’t soften the blow. With both conviction and clarity, we expose the terrifying reality of apostasy: the covenantal treason of those who taste the goodness of Christ but never swallow. Hebrews 6 warns us that surface-level faith is not only dangerous—it’s damning. But it also unveils something glorious: the indestructible anchor of our hope. For those truly in Christ, salvation is not held by emotional highs or our own resolve but by the immovable grip of our High Priest behind the veil. The covenant is serious, but so is the assurance it offers. This lesson calls the spiritually lazy to grow up, the wavering to press on, and the faithful to rest in Christ’s unbreakable promise. Surface faith is suicide. Covenant perseverance is life. And Christ holds the rope.

  • Hebrews 5 | From Milk to Meat
    Apr 29 2025

    In this lesson, William Hamilton takes us deep into Hebrews 5, showing us why Jesus' role as our perfect High Priest is far more than a theological footnote—it is the foundation of our endurance and spiritual growth. Jesus is not only King but the High Priest who knows our deepest pain because He lived it, cried through it, and conquered it. This message exposes the deadly danger of spiritual laziness and the modern tendency toward comfortable, consumeristic Christianity. True Christians don't settle for spiritual infancy; they press into maturity, embrace suffering as the forge of sanctification, and disciple others intentionally. We are called to move from emotional consumers to disciplined soldiers under the perfect priesthood of Christ.

  • Titus 1:1-4: The God Who Cannot Lie
    Feb 3 2025

    Paul’s letter to Titus is a powerful reminder that the gospel transforms lives, and the Church must reflect that transformation. Written to Titus, who was tasked with bringing order to the chaotic churches in Crete, this letter emphasizes the unchanging character of God, the importance of sound doctrine, and the call to godly living.

    In this sermon, we explore three key truths from Titus 1:1-4:

    1. God’s Promises Are Older Than Time – Our hope is rooted in God’s eternal, unchanging promises.
    2. God’s Truth Produces Godliness – True doctrine leads to transformed lives.
    3. God’s Faithfulness Fuels Our Faithfulness – Ministry is grounded in God’s unstoppable Word and eternal purposes.
