Make Room: Your Kingdom Come - What You See Determines Who You Serve

Eye exams are usually not too bad—until they pull out that air puff test, right? It catches you off guard, but once it's done, you feel relieved and ready to see clearly. There's something about having the right prescription that makes all the difference—suddenly, the world isn’t blurry anymore. Well, Jesus is inviting us to take a closer look at our spiritual vision. What’s in focus for us? Are we seeing God clearly or are we distracted by other things? In this message, we’ll explore how what we focus on—whether it's God or money—shapes where we're headed. Let’s make sure we’re focused on what truly matters.

Make Room: Your Kingdom Come - Big Faith Starts in a Quiet Place

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions when praying? You know prayer is important, but it can easily become routine or even a performance. In today’s message, we’re diving into what Jesus really meant when He talked about prayer and fasting. It’s not about being seen or saying the perfect words, it’s about being present with God. If you want to discover how you can connect with God in a deeper, more meaningful way? Let’s make room for Him in our lives, starting in the quiet places.

Make Room: Your Kingdom Come - God’s Whisper Is Greater Than the Crowd’s Roar

Ever feel like you're living for the likes? We all crave recognition—whether it’s applause for our hard work, a pat on the back for our generosity, or just a little more appreciation. But Jesus warns us about the "applause trap"—when doing good becomes more about being seen than about actually seeking God. In Matthew 6, Jesus flips the script: What if the greatest rewards come from what no one sees? This week, we’re diving into what it means to make room—not for approval, but for a deeper, more lasting reward. Are you ready to live for something more?

James: Good Faith - There's Room at the Table

Pastor Quintin teaches on James 5:19-20, as we close out our Good Faith series in the Letter of James. 

James: Good Faith - What Good is Prayer (feat. Mike Shields)

We know we ought to pray, we just don't fully understand how it works. What is clear is that prayer is essential for every follower of Jesus. Instead of making it too complicated, James gives us a very important description of the need for prayer and the significance it brings to the Christian life. Join us this weekend at Valley as we seek to understand this life changing truth and answer the question,"What Good is Prayer?"

James: Good Faith - The Truth is in the LIFE (feat. Mike Shields)

Have you ever said to someone, "I'll believe it when I see it." Although we are called to live by "faith and not by sight," the way we live our life matters. In fact, some would say, "the proof is in the life." James is one of those people. In James 5:1-12 we find instruction and exhortation on how we ought to live as we wait until the coming of the Lord. My prayer is that you will be challenged, encouraged and strengthened as we take a dive into the text this weekend. 

James: Good Faith - The Best Way Out Is to Be Prepared Going In

We all face moments when the pull of temptation feels too strong to resist. But what if resisting isn’t just about saying “no” but about being fully prepared to stand firm? In this week’s message from James 4:7-12, we’ll uncover the keys to resisting the enemy, drawing near to God, and finding the strength to overcome. Discover how to prepare your heart and mind for victory in life’s toughest battles.

James: Good Faith - You Can’t Find Peace When You’re Looking in the Wrong Place

Why is it so hard to find peace with others—or even ourselves? Whether it’s a frustrating coworker, a tough family conversation, or that nagging inner voice, conflict seems unavoidable. But what if the real issue isn’t out there—it’s inside us? James 4:1-6 helps us address the mess within, and when we do, we open the door to experiencing true peace, purpose, and grace in every area of life.

James: Good Faith - Relationships: There's a Better Way Forward

Have you ever been in a relationship where words caused hurt or misunderstanding? Maybe it wasn't intentional, but the damage was done. This week, we're exploring James 3:13-18 to see how our words shape relationships and how God calls us to use them well. Join us as we discover how to foster good faith relationships by speaking life, love, and truth.

Christmas At Valley - They're Just Lyrics

Have you ever said something you wish you could take back? Maybe you meant it, but knew you shouldn't have said it. This week, we're learning from James that our words have power. I know you already understand this, but James emphasizes it because it's a lesson we all need to hear. It's surprising that, even though we know how much our words impact our lives, none of us have fully mastered our speech. Join us this weekend as we explore how to master our words and tame the tongue.

Christmas At Valley - Fake Faith

The holidays can get chaotic, but James 2:14-26 reminds us that real faith isn't just words—it's action. It's a faith that shows up in how we love, serve, and make a difference in the lives of others. This week, let's take a moment to reflect: Is our faith alive and active? Are we living in a way that reflects God's heart? Join us as we dive into what it means to live a faith that's real, impactful, and true to his calling.

This week, let's reflect on how the blessings in our lives aren't random-they're intentional gifts from a loving Father. Join us as we rediscover the steady goodness of God!

James: Good Faith - There is Good Faith Hidden in Every Battle Part 2

Life often feels like a battle, doesn’t it? Just when you think you’ve got things under control, something else hits – a temptation or struggle perfectly designed to throw you off course. You’re not alone in feeling this way. This week, we’re looking at how these battles are more than setbacks; they’re opportunities for real growth. Join us as we dive into how God uses life’s toughest moments to build resilience and cultivate a ‘Good Faith’ that can weather any storm.
