Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working
Normal people in our culture are stressed out, overwhelmed, overworked, and exhausted. Normal is busy and getting busier. Normal is going into debt and living paycheck to paycheck. Normal relationships are often stressed and strained. Normal sex has no boundaries and carries a hefty price tag. Normal is living life as if God doesn't exist.
But normal isn't working...so why be normal?
Join us as we explore a better way to live, that may seem weird, based on the timeless truths of Scripture and Craig Groeschel's new book
WEIRD: Because Normal Isn't Working.
ADVENT: Getting Ready for Jesus
Jesus is coming! Jesus is coming! That’s what Advent is about … getting ready for the coming of Jesus. Advent is all about anticipation and hope and how that impacts our lives right here, right now. Join us for the next four weeks as we attempt to enter into the spirit of Christmas the right way focused on the hope, joy, peace, and love that comes wrapped up in the greatest Christmas gift of all.
Who We Are
Do you recognize us?
Valley View Community Church desires to be a community of grace impacting our world through life in Jesus. That’s our mission … plain and simple. But what does that mean for you and me? And how does that mission get accomplished? Join us for this three-part series as together we explore who we are.
LIFE: According to Jesus
Jesus is into life. He's the one who claimed to be the way, the truth, and the life. He’s the one who said in John 10:10, "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full." Following Jesus is not about religion. It’s about reality. It’s about lining ourselves up with the way things really are. Following Jesus is the best possible way to live. Join us this summer as we unpack the marks of a disciple and discover what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ who makes a difference in this world.
Balancing the Burb's
Living a Called Out Life in a Broken World
Breaking Free
Deliverance. Rescue. Redemption. Freedom. Exodus. That’s what God’s into. He’s the God who heard the cries of his people and liberated them from bondage in Egypt. What’s your Egypt? From what do you need to be delivered? A habit, an addiction, a broken relationship, a bitter memory, words that wound, a need to control everything and everybody? During this sacred season of Lent journey with us towards resurrection Sunday as we leave behind the old self and take hold of the new.
The Healing Power of Love
Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbor as ourself. That’s the bottom line. That’s what we were created for. End of story. Yet all too often the wounds, hurts, and scars from our past keep us from doing just that. We want to be better lovers, but damage done to our own hearts keeps us stuck. In this new series we’ll explore what it takes to get unstuck and discover how we can experience the healing power of love.
The Sacred Echo
What is prayer? Does it really work? Is there really a God who hears and answers prayer? If so, why do so many of mine seem to go unanswered? Can God actually speak to me and if so what does he sound like? Through the Scriptures and with the help of Margaret Feinberg’s provocative book The Sacred Echo we’re going to spend the summer reflecting on how God communicates to his people today. If you hunger for a more intimate relationship with God join us on Sundays and we’ll explore the mystery of prayer together.
Advent Conspiracy
The Good News of Jesus
Bad news. Don’t have to look very far to find it. Go online. Turn on the television. Tune in the radio. Pick up a newspaper. It’s everywhere. Good news? That can be found too. Open the pages of the New Testament and there it is … the good news of Jesus. So we have a choice. Are we going to live our lives focused on the bad news or driven by the good? Join us on Sundays and discover the good news of Jesus as told by Mark.
Transformers
God is on a mission to make all things new. He’s out to transform the world. And that process has already begun. If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! But how does God’s transforming process work in our lives? And what difference can a transformed life make in this world? Join us as we explore these and other questions in our summer series Transformers: Changing us … changing the world.
The Power Behind Religious Words
The Gospel. Salvation. Repent. Believe. Evangelism. Religious words most of us have heard before. But do we know what Jesus meant when he said them? And do we understand what they mean for us today? Come join us as we discover the life changing power behind these often misunderstood religious words. What we discover together may surprise you!
God's Green Earth
The End of Evil?
If God is so good, why is the world so bad? How can a loving God exist in a world full of child abuse, ethnic cleansing, AIDS, torture, and terrorism? Will there ever be an end to the evil in this world? The problem of evil has confounded the world’s best thinkers for centuries. Come join us for this provocative new series as we discover what God has done, is doing, and will do to put an end to evil.
