Valleys 3

Written by Lee Ames on . Posted in Sermon.

Valleys
Life has a way of leading us into valleys — seasons of grief, doubt, exhaustion, or uncertainty that we never planned for. While we don’t choose these moments, every one of us will face them.
Throughout Scripture, God often meets His people in the valleys. He shows us how to trust Him when the situation feels overwhelming and the outcome feels out of our control. We see how fear can loom large — and how faith in God’s power changes everything. And, we are often reminded that even when hope seems gone, God is still able to bring life, renewal, and restoration.
In this series, we’ll explore 3 powerful Old Testament stories and discover how God works in the low places of life. Valleys are not places of abandonment — they are places where God reveals His presence, strengthens our faith, and reminds us that the battle belongs to Him. If you’re walking through one right now, Valleys is an invitation to trust God, stand in faith, and believe that He is still at work.

Kingdom Rhythm

Written by Lee Ames on . Posted in Sermons.

As a new year begins, it’s easy to get swept up in the pace and pressures of the world around us. But what if, instead of chasing more noise, more striving, or more control, we learned to move in step with the rhythms of God’s Kingdom?

Kingdom Rhythms is a January series focused on the spiritual rhythms God invites us into—practices that draw us closer to Him, shape our hearts, and transforms the way we live. Together, we’ll explore ancient rhythms like prayer and worship, love, forgiveness, and rest (Sabbath)—not as religious checklists, but as life-giving practices that ground us in God’s presence and align us with His purposes.

We won’t pretend to know what this year will hold. Scripture reminds us that life is often unpredictable. But we can prepare our hearts. We can choose to lean into the rhythms that sustain us, anchor us, and help us walk faithfully through whatever comes our way.

As we learn to live from these Kingdom rhythms, we also discover how God uses us to come alongside others—offering grace, encouragement, and a helping hand to those who may be weary or in need.

This January, let’s slow down, listen closely, and learn to live in step with the rhythms that lead to lasting hope, deeper faith, and transformed lives.
