The Valley Church Troy Podcast

What are some habits or aspects of your life that you are not proud of? The Bible says that when we live apart from God, we are actually enslaved to those things that bring ruin into our lives; and what's worse, we offered ourselves to those things! But thanks be to God! In Jesus, He has enabled us to offer ourselves to Jesus. This is grace! We offer ourselves to Jesus to become like Him, free and pure. Now that's a promise! I promise. How many of us have heard that statement but the promise became a broken promise. I promise that I will come to your game. I promise to be married to you forever. I promise it won't happen again. The hurt, pain, and discouragement are real. Can we trust anyone to fulfill their promises to us? The answer is, yes! Did you know that God will never break His promises to you? What are those promises that you can trust Him for?

Think of a time when you felt afraid. Didn't you feel small, your abilities inadequate, your logic and reason insignificant? Joshua might have felt the same way as he faced crossing the Jordan River and capturing the land God promised the Israelites; but then God spoke to him saying, be strong and courageous because I will be with you. That promise of God's presence, which is itself the gift of courage, is still available to you today!I promise. How many of us have heard that statement but the promise became a broken promise. I promise that I will come to your game. I promise to be married to you forever. I promise it won't happen again. The hurt, pain, and discouragement are real.

Have you ever had someone let you down? Someone you thought would stick by you through thick and thin? Chances are pretty good you have; we all have or will at some point.

Listen in to hear more about God's character which makes this promise possible.I promise. How many of us have heard that statement but the promise became a broken promise.

Why did Jesus have to die? It's a hard message to hear, that our sin and the sin present since the very beginning required the death of the perfect Son of God to deal with it. How can it be so? It's even harder when we feel like we're not all that bad. If you've even had questions about Jesus's death and how it relates to us, we hope you'll join us for this message.This Easter sermon series will take us on a powerful journey through the final week of Jesus' life, leading up to His crucifixion and resurrection.

As Jesus joins his disciples for the Passover meal, they all are remembering the ancient story of how God rescued the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt. But it isn't just mental memory; it's embodied memory too. Which is how Jesus invites his disciple to remember this meal in the future as an expression of the new order of things inaugurated by Jesus's coming death and resurrection.

As we begin this slow walk with Jesus through the last week before his crucifixion, we first join the two unnamed disciples on their way to find the donkey Jesus asked them to retrieve from a local village. Then we encounter the unnamed bystanders and owner who let the donkey go because “the Lord needs it.” Which led to a challenge: what “donkey” is Jesus asking of us? This Easter sermon series will take us on a powerful journey through the final week of Jesus' life, leading up to His crucifixion and resurrection.

We live in a world where so much is at the tips of our fingers. Quite literally, we have access to so much through our phones and computers.

Listen to this.The Bible is not one book. What?! No, even though we might carry around one book called the Bible, it is actually 66 different books.

The Christian faith is not simply about one's relationship with God, but rather has a lot to do with how we relate to other people too.

Technology can be used well, for the good of others and ourselves, but it can also be used to demean or destroy. It's all in how we use it. Because it isn't going away, it matters how we approach it.

Sin is not an outdated term. It's God's way to describe our natural bent towards destructive choices, fractured relationships, and crooked thinking. But even though we can't help ourselves, God can. And He provides grace – spiritual empowerment – to enable us to rise above… if we will first humbly ask for forgiveness and then allow Him the room to make changes in our lives.

Judging is so natural, isn't it? We judge a person's status based on their attire, car, or job. We judge a book by the artwork, or a product by its review.

Welcome to Christmas Eve at The Valley Church in Troy! We're so glad you could join us for this special service. One aspect of these kinds of services that seems universal is the play of light. What's significant about light? For one, Jesus has also been called the “Light of the World.” And then he called his followers to be lights in the world as well. So what does all this mean? Listen in! The most extraordinary person who has ever lived was not just a baby in a manger, nor a man on a cross. His names carry with them great weight: Wonderful Counselor. Prince of Peace. Light of the World. To know Him is to love Him. His name is Jesus. Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST). Here are ways to connect with us!

Part of the mystique of Christianity is how at its core it is always open to anyone who will believe. In His own time, Jesus made space for the outcasts, the lowlifes, the unclean and ostracized, the traitors, the second-class citizens. People of all backgrounds knew they could come just as they were and find a friend in Jesus. He in turn invited them to become His disciples and change the world! So come as you are and encounter a life-changing relationship with Jesus! When we think of a river, we do not envision something that stays in one place. In fact, a river does not stand still - a river flows! In Ezekiel 47, God gives the prophet a vision of what happens when the river of forgiveness, healing, and hope flows out of the church. The Valley Church will be a river church. We will be on a mission. We will be a church in and for the community.

Some people wonder why we only have the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Did God stop speaking after the book of Revelation? While the Early Church did close the Canon of Scripture in the early ADs, they would be the first to affirm that God still speaks to every believer by His Holy Spirit in them. And if God still speaks, and speaks to you and me, then what? Good question. Let's hear the message for help. When we think of a river, we do not envision something that stays in one place.

By now, maybe you've begun to see that following Jesus isn't just about being saved from our past mistakes and future punishment.

They say you can tell a lot about a person based on how they spend their money. Whether someone is a spender or saver, likes books or fashion, is generous or greedy. Because money is so essential to daily life and yet so corrosive to our hearts, Jesus talks a lot about it. He knows that if He's not Lord of your finances, He's not much of a Lord in your life at all. Sound extreme? Listen for yourself.

The Holy Spirit isn't the only gift Jesus has given us. Actually, the Spirit himself will keep giving us gifts, special abilities that enable us to do the work God has called us to do. The Spirit wants to give you gifts too. Curious about what they might be? Well listen in and you might find out! What do electric cars, espresso machines, airplanes, and MRI machines have in common? They can all do amazing things, but only if they have a power source. In the New Testament, Christians did amazing things! They boldly shared Jesus, they healed the sick, they cared for the poor, and they took on the forces of evil with the forces of love. The Christian faith is about more than showing up on Sundays and reading your Bible 15 minutes a day. What if the adventure of a lifetime awaits you? What if all that is missing is the power of the Spirit? Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST).  Here are ways to connect with us!
