In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day (March 2007) Inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, this series will challenge you to grab life by the mane when opportunity roars.

Everything I need to know is in my fishbowl (August 2006) Jesus was the most effective communicator ever. He noticed everyday situations around Him and turned them into parables to teach others about the Kingdom of God. The next few weeks we will look at a fish tank and see some amazing similarities to our life. In this series we’ve got to realize we’re the fish and world around us is our fishbowl. Stepping out in Faith (summer 2006) History repeats itself... but it doesn't have to. Learn to avoid the detours of the past and step confidently into the future. Go Ahead...Step out in faith!

At Valley Creek Church we want to change that! We are raising money to build a well. Join us as we raise money to bring clean water to the mouths of African people and living water to the hearts of African people! Africa Oasis Project has committed itself to not only providing clean water, but also presenting the Living Water Jesus Christ. The drilling teams travel with a chaplain who has a sound system and the ability to present The Jesus Film. When hundreds and even thousands gather to watch the rig drill for water, they receive the good news about a water they can drink and never thirst again. Indeed, as Jesus said, this water will become a well of water springing up unto eternal life (John 4:14). Friends, this is a powerful combination: life-giving clean water and the Living Water Jesus Christ! Watch Ron Hanson (Africa Oasis Project Missionary) share about the need.

Thu, 9 Mar 2006 13:58:22 MST http://www.valleycreekchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=13 http://www.valleycreekchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=13&article_id=17 1) About God God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. 2) About Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. 3) About the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily. 4) About the Bible The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any error or contradiction. 5) About People People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. 6) About Salvation Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. 7) About Eternity People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. 8) About Jesus' Second Coming The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
