Pastor Mike unpacks Hebrews 12:1–2 and the call to “run with endurance the race set before us.” He explains the difference between sins that entangle us and hindrances that weigh us down, showing how both can keep us from experiencing God’s best. Through practical teaching and encouragement, you’ll be challenged to release what’s holding you back and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus—the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.

In this message, Pastor Mike celebrates three years of The Valley Church and reminds us that what got us here won’t get us there. Drawing from Philippians 3, he challenges us to forget what is behind and press forward toward what God has next. Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or are just starting your journey, this message will inspire you to lean in, give your all, and pursue the life God has called you to live.

In this week’s message from The Valley Church, we continue our series What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. Pastor Mike unpacks 2 Peter 1:1–9 to show how we can avoid low habits in our faith and step into the life God is calling us to. Discover three practical ways to grow: don’t neglect your faith, don’t settle for stagnation, and don’t forget what Jesus has done for you. If you’ve been feeling stuck or spiritually dry, this message will challenge and encourage you to move forward with high habits that match your high hopes.

This week we kicked off a new series called What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, where we look at how God often calls us to step into something deeper than what has carried us this far. Drawing from Galatians 6, we unpack the difference between burdens we carry together and the personal load we alone are responsible for, the seeds we’re planting in our daily lives, and the reminder not to grow weary in doing good. Whether you’re new to faith, comfortable where you are, or feeling worn out, this message encourages you to press in, trust God for strength, and take bold steps toward the next level of what He has for you.
