Valley Real Life Sermons

In the final message of our But God series, we explore the powerful truth that even when life feels over—God is not done. Through the story of Ruth and Naomi, we see how God shows up in our darkest moments with unexpected hope, redemption, and purpose. When the road seems lost and grief takes over, But God brings new beginnings. Whether you’re facing loss, pain, failure, or doubt—this is not the end of your story. It’s the start of what God can still do.

This Mother’s Day, we reflect on the unexpected turns in life and the quiet strength it takes to trust God through them. Through laughter, honest stories, and the “But God” journey of Joseph, we’re reminded that even in betrayal, loss, or disappointment—God is present, working for good. What if the very thing you’re walking through now is part of something far greater than you imagined?

We all face temptation — the moments where we're tired, weak, and most vulnerable. But in those very moments, God is faithful. He doesn’t just leave us to fight alone — He makes a way out. We’ll look at how Jesus handled temptation, what the Israelites failed to learn, and how you can stand firm even in your weakest moments.

In Matthew 19, Jesus challenges our assumptions about marriage, children, wealth, and what it means to follow Him — it’s not about what you do, but who you follow. The disciples, the rich man, and even Peter miss the point: the call is not to perfection, but to submission and faithfulness. Are you ready to surrender to follow Jesus?

In the final sermon of our Devoted series, we explore what it means to live a life shaped by prayer. Using the ACTS model—Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication—we walk through how Jesus taught us to pray and how prayer transforms our hearts, our pace, and our worship.

In today’s message, we explore the power of worship through song and how music helps us stay connected to God. Worship engages our body, soul, and spirit, teaching us to never stop praying. Join us as we discuss how music is a tool for prayer, the importance of worshiping together, and living in obedience to God daily.

In a world where we often seek love based on what we do, it's easy to confuse God's love with human love. But God’s love is not based on our actions but on His unchanging nature. Just like the stories of Joseph, David, and Ruth, God's love is unconditional, unfailing, and given to us even when we fall short. We were made to be loved by God—not because of anything we’ve done, but because of who He is.
