Join us on our 1-year beach anniversary for a short history of Valley and our mission

This lesson dives headfirst into one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament—Hebrews 6—and Valley doesn’t soften the blow. With both conviction and clarity, we expose the terrifying reality of apostasy: the covenantal treason of those who taste the goodness of Christ but never swallow. Hebrews 6 warns us that surface-level faith is not only dangerous—it’s damning. But it also unveils something glorious: the indestructible anchor of our hope. For those truly in Christ, salvation is not held by emotional highs or our own resolve but by the immovable grip of our High Priest behind the veil. The covenant is serious, but so is the assurance it offers. This lesson calls the spiritually lazy to grow up, the wavering to press on, and the faithful to rest in Christ’s unbreakable promise. Surface faith is suicide. Covenant perseverance is life. And Christ holds the rope.

On Easter weekend, Micheal Davis walked us through the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ by reading and reflecting on John 19 and 20, with supporting prophecy from Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22. With a humble and careful spirit, he reminded us that the cross is not just a symbol of love or sacrifice, but a declaration of finality: "It is finished."

We saw the crimson thread tying together Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, and the Gospels—that our sin demanded death, and God provided a Lamb. The cross was not a tragedy. It was victory. Christ was crushed by the will of the Father, not because the Father delights in pain, but because He delights in redemption. We see the weight of sin, the wrath of God, and the power of grace converge in one moment.

Then, the tomb was empty. The resurrection vindicated Jesus as God, conquered death, and secured our hope. This was not magic or myth, but public, historic, testified reality. Because Christ rose, those who are in Him will also rise.

Micheal walked us through the logic of the resurrection, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the comfort of Christ’s words: "Peace be with you." For those who are in Christ, death no longer reigns. Jesus does.

"You are not clinging to a wish. You are held by a Risen King."
