Remember when you were little? Do you recall what you were afraid of? When did that change? When did you exchange one set of fears for another? Oh yes, that's what we did—we exchanged old ones for new ones.

Our point is that old fears lost their power over us. They may even seem silly now.

Valley Vision is a new way of looking at valleys, and it's a new way of looking at fears.

How do you handle valleys? You know what we mean: how do you deal with hard times and hurt?

How is it working for you? We don't mean strategically, like "Are you winning?" How is your soul, your joy, in the valley?

A surprising amount of the Bible is devoted to addressing anxiety and how to overcome it. This reflects an ancient yet modern problem: how to navigate life's valleys.

The surprising solution is worth exploring in a series of messages and perhaps even a lifetime of pursuit.

Let's call it "Valley Vision." First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you!

Each of us comes out of the womb trying to make sense of the world around us. The sights, sounds, and sensations—what do they mean, and what do we do with that information? To whom or where do we go to receive guidance? And when our role is to be the guide, how do we encourage another person to develop an 'ear to hear' what the LORD is saying?

This weekend, we are talking about spiritual conversations with children, but truthfully, this is for everyone—Mom, Dad, Grandparent, and everyone in between. We think we all can take something from this important message for ourselves and for those we love!

Nothing beats a good recommendation from a local. Best Mother's Day brunch? Favorite ice cream stand, top hike with your dog? The hidden gem that most people aren't aware of, but should be? (This last one is a personal favorite.)

This is how good news spreads... and it's also how the story of Jesus has been shared around the world.

I know there may be some one-star reviews out there, but the true story is undeniably worth a five-star rating.

So, how can we effectively do that? Let's explore the answer in this sermon.

I've been a pastor for over 30 years now, so it won't surprise you that I've heard a few stinging criticisms of Christianity.

You know why they're stinging... because they're true, at least to some extent. That's the part that really hurts.

What do we do with the baggage of Christianity, the stuff done in the name of Jesus throughout history, and yes– in more recent times?

If we want to tell the story of Jesus well, the story of life, a full life, then we have to know how to answer the other stories, the ugly ones. As we continue with the series 'Jesus Among the Gods', we'll uncover together the other side of the ugly that is something really good.

"Jesus is a well-loved teacher," that's hardly a controversial statement.

"Jesus is "The Only Way" - these are outrageous words. In a pluralistic and even secular society, exclusive claims are the most egregious. You may even cringe when you hear it said aloud.

As we continue with the series 'Jesus Among the Gods', we'll explore how the exclusive claims of Christ and Christianity fit into pluralistic conversations.

According to ChatGTP, Jesus is the most famous person in the world. But He's also the most controversial. We may agree that He's a big deal, but exactly what His deal is… not so much.

As we kick off our series, we'll look at Jesus among the gods: How does Jesus compare to other religious icons, and is he an exclusive kind of guy? We'll talk about the bad stuff done in Jesus' name and how to share your faith in a secular culture.

Jesus may be famous, but is He worth following? After all, you've got a lot of options. In this series, we'll explore that question together.

The Secret Life of Confident People… a finale!

Paul has made his case, laid out a theology, encouraged us with strong and memorable promises, and filled us with lasting security. That seems to be part of the goal—an enduring confidence not shaken by circumstances, not subject to the whims of our emotions, grounded in the most unshakable truth of all.

"Secure" is not a strong enough word, but it's a start. As we wrap up the series, "Secret Life of Confident People," we explore this type of eternal security as life-giving and confidence-building. This is how we finish.

How do we follow Easter? We do so by celebrating faith and the story of Jesus at work in people's lives, and we call it baptism—this is going to be good!

As we continue the series, "Secret Life of Confident People," we will be back in Romans 8, answering the question, "How do we stand tall when it seems like the people around us have rocks?"

You see, the secret life of confident people offers us an inner confidence that comes not from our own strength but from the knowledge of the One who stands with us, knowing what He has done for us.

As we celebrate Easter, we remember the most discussed moment in all of human history, and we will do it with a few thousand of our friends and neighbors on Cape Cod.

In fact, over 2 billion people worldwide will join the celebration! Why? Well, to start with, it's true, it happened. And… it's for you… and it changes destinies. That's worth celebrating.
