Join us at Light of the Valleys in Reno as we explore one powerful question Jesus still asks today: ‘What do you want?’ In this sermon, we follow the disciple Andrew’s journey from curiosity to faith and discover Christ’s invitation to ‘Come and see.’ Message based on John 1:39-45.

How long will we have to watch and wait for Jesus to return? We do not know. Jesus said he would return soon. However, the definition of "soon" for the One who has no beginning and end will naturally differ from ours. Whenever Jesus returns, it will take us by surprise. So, how do believers avoid growing lethargic? How do we remain ready and watchful for Christ's return? Our Savior points us to the Bible -- the place where he gives us all the readiness we need!

The world around us is filled with chaos and injustice. It can make Christians wonder, "Is God really in control?" In our readings today we are reminded that God is ruling our world, and that he will bring about justice in his time and in his way. We are also encouraged as we hear that the Lord will keep all of his promises -- most of all his promises to spread the gospel, and bring his people home!

"The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost." Those words of Jesus explain his entire mission on earth. Today, we study the story of Zacchaeus, a man who truly was lost in sin. We will hear how this man was found by Jesus, and examine the depths of God's undeserved love to all people -- including us!

Today, we hear words of encouragement for the saints. In the book of Revelation, we will see some pictures of our heavenly home, where God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Today's message based on Revelation 21:1-6.

How does the Lord deal with his people during times of distress? How does he give believers victory? A man named Jacob asked similar questions thousands of years ago -- and got some surprising answers. Today we study Genesis 32, where we see the surprising grace and faithfulness the Lord shows his people.

We can always go to the Savior for the problems we experience in our lives. But through faith, we recognize that we need Christ's presence not just in times of outward need, but at every moment of our lives. Thankfully, Jesus is always with us with his loving presence, providing the forgiveness and salvation we so desperately need. Today's message is based on Luke 17:11-19.

Money seems helpful, but it fails in death. Thankfully, Jesus invites us to see the world as he sees it. He shows us that his Word is infinitely more valuable than the things of this world, and that his forgiving love is for poor, lowly sinners like you and me.

Grace. Have we sung "Amazing Grace" so often in our life that it is no longer "amazing"? There is a danger to only hear what God's Word says about the hot topics of the day that he message of his grace becomes cliche. As we take a closer look at Ephesians 2:8 today, may the Lord raise our appreciation for his grace.

We live in a world of broken relationships. There often seem be arguments and strife wherever we look. Even worse, the Bible tells us that all people have been unfaithful to the Lord, and broken their relationship with him. But in the book of Hosea, we see God's shocking response to our sinful unfaithfulness: forgiveness and love.
