Church in the Valley
Life gets hurried and heavy at times. Commutes take up massive amounts of time and then we don’t have much left for our family. Finances get tight and we feel like we don’t have money to do anything, much less find something that gives us rest. And sometimes religious activity gets to feel like a burden. The next thing you know, your legs feel like they are 200 pounds each and it is difficult to keep moving forward. There are some red letters in the Bible that speak to those who are in need of some rest.
The Red-Letter Bible has only been around since 1899 but seeing the words Jesus spoke while on earth in red, leaves a profound impact on the reader. This message will introduce the series and the new covenant talked about in Luke 22:20. Additionally, we will focus on Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection on the cross and the impact of Jesus' statement on his way to die on the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
This Sermon will look at the battle to stay rooted and to stay strong. It will unpack the spiritual armor as well as give some big picture perspective about the spiritual realm. The goal is to help see there is a spiritual reality as well as begin to see the tools God gives us to fight against the enemy's tactics.

This sermon will focus on how God gives us instruction to help us relate in key relationships (marriage, parenting, and work). The natural tendency in our hearts, and reinforced in culture, is to do what we want, when we want. However, God's design is to team together and play specific roles in the key relationships God has given us.

God wants us to please Him and understand His will. Nothing can cloud clarity and experiencing God’s love than getting into sin. Sin keeps us in darkness while holiness brings the light. As we move toward holiness we can walk exactly and understand the will of God.

God's plan since the beginning of times was to save the world. The covenant and promise to Abraham (Genesis 12) is fulfilled through Christ. This is our purpose in the church. To take the grace, peace, hope Paul describes in Ephesians 1-2 and share that with the world.

When we root ourselves to this world, our plans, the future, we are left choked out without an anchor and real substance. This takes away our hope because the things of this world change and pass away. However, God, through Christ has given us another option. To root ourselves back to our Maker where life and purpose can be found.

The forgiveness of sins is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and biblical community. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." God sent his only son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He forgave us when we didn't deserve it. And that should fuel God's people to be a people that forgive one another freely. We don't forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive people out of a deep gratitude for how much God has forgiven us.

And this constant prayer is a lifeline to God's people and it molds us into people who are hopeful towards the future.
