February 14, 2021  About 25 years ago Kevin’s brother got married. As we sat with Kevin’s sister and her family at the reception, his niece said, “The belly dancer is in the lobby”. I heard that. But it didn’t make sense to me. I thought, “That’s can’t be.” I let that statement go, because itContinue reading “To Love is to Listen”

Februay 9, 2021  I’m going to ask a couple questions, which may seem easy, but might be harder than you think to answer. What is the church? And who is it for?   What is the church? Some people might say it is a building. Others might say church is Sunday worship, or the longest hour ofContinue reading “On the road again”

January 31, 2021  Hi, we’re in our last week of the sermon series Run to Win. We’re taking it from the Apostle Paul’s words in 1 Cor. 9:24 “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So, run to win!”   This series is about seeking victory in life, even if we’ve lost before.Continue reading “Run to Win: Run TOGETHER”

January 10, 2021 We’re in the “Run to Win” sermon series, where we are in spiritual training to make God a greater priority in our lives this year than he was last. Last week we talked about running toward God, like the wiseman hurried to find the new king, Jesus. They made it to the finishContinue reading “The Power of Prayer”

Jan. 3, 2021  It’s a new year and I’m so excited we’re starting it off with this series: “Run to Win!” As last year ended, I heard a lot on TV and social media, about how 2020 was a terrible year. It was a tough year. Now I can’t stand here and say, “2021 willContinue reading “Run Toward Him”

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I really enjoyed it. It was a relaxed day. I think what I enjoyed most was there was no going out to buy one more thing you forgot. The stores were closed! It was a nice day with family to celebrate the Savior’s birth.   This week starts a NewContinue reading “The Reason for the Wait”

We’re in the last of our message series: God with us! We’ve learned God is with us in the Valley. He doesn’t leave us when we’re in a low time.
