In this message we explore the first parable of Jesus in Matthew where God's Word is the seed that needs to penetrate our hearts. Our hearts can be like various soils. Some are hard and don't allow God's Word to penetrate. Others allow the Word in but never allow it to take root. Others allow the weeds of worry and wealth to choke out the very life that God is trying to grow in us. But others allow the seed of God's Word to grow deep inside which results in lots of fruit in our lives! Listen along and discover more! www.ValleyMetroChurch.com

In this message we look at what happened to everyone who encountered Jesus right after He rose from the dead. They were changed forever! You might say that they went from being partially alive to becoming fully alive! They explained how Jesus changed them in Luke 24. First their hearts started to burn with new life when Jesus spoke to them, and when Jesus opened the scriptures to them. Then Jesus essentially told them that they will become fully alive when they get filled with the Holy Spirit! After that, we are promised that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will actually give life to our human bodies….and that is what it means to live life “fully alive”!

The Power of Words

In this message we look at the power of words, which have a lot more power than you may think! In Matthew 12 we see prophesy fulfilled that shows us to recognize the full power of God's words. We also get to see how Jesus used words and how Jesus would not use words. In the meantime, the devil is always trying to get us to re-direct our words; to say what we shouldn’t and to not say what we should say! Lastly, Jesus reminds us that people will know us and make conclusions about us based on our choice of words. Sp never forget, the power of life and death are in the tongue so let’s commit to using our words to building others up and not tearing others down! Listen along and discover more!

In this message we get a close look at many of the excuses people make up for not following Jesus. As Christ followers, we need to appreciate these excuses and help people through their reasons so they can better understand the reality of God's calling on their lives. In Matthew chapter 11, we see that some people have developed a calloused heart where Jesus wants to restore that sensitivity (Ezek 36:26). Others may apply an excuse they learned along the way, but the Holy Spirit wants to help you to dismantle those arguments (1 Cor 10:5). Although many say that they believe, Jesus teaches us that true belief is repentance, which means belief must also turn and follow Jesus. According to Jesus, Jesus is not "a" way, He is the only way.

In this message we look at how Jesus prepared His disciples to be world changers as He gave them a crash course in resilience. Jesus teaches us that we will face obstacles and resistance, especially when we share His message to those around us. Sometimes the message is well received but sometimes it is rejected, even violently. These are important lessons for all believers noting that some things are taught, other things are caught. We won't catch these really important things if we are not willing to actually step out and share our faith. But remember where God guides – God provides and the God who calls you is the God who equips you! Listen along and discover more!
