Biblical preaching's authenticity is significantly tarnished by contemporary communicators who are more concerned with personal relevance than with God's revelation.
Richard L. Mayhue
open_bible

At Valley View, "Scripture is our content; culture is our context." With this goal in mind, we seek to teach and preach God's word expositionally. Richard Mayhue explains expository preaching this way: Exposition presupposes an exegetical process (i.e., the study and interpretation of the text):
  1. To extract the God-intended meaning of Scripture, and
  2. An explanation of that meaning in a contemporary way.

In other words, at Valley View, God's Word still matters . . . TODAY!

The Sovereignty of the Christ (04/17/11) Ryan Weberg

The Supremacy of the Christ (04/10/11) Ryan Weberg

Just One Thing . . . The Priority of Praise (01/02/11) Ryan Weberg

Psalm 71 Resolutions have a way of filtering our priorities, of weighing out that which is most needful, along with that which is most doable. There must be a tremendous balance of idealism and pragmatism when it comes to resolutions, else they are failed before they are begun. That’s why, this year, I have made just one resolution...

What Difference Does the Gospel Make? (10/24/10) – Ryan Weberg

Christian Secularization (07/11/10) Ryan Weberg

2 Kings 5 "Automaticality" the state or condition of ascribing to all processes of life a natural, scientific, or reasonable cause, which brings about a direct, correlating, and "automatic" effect.  It's a condition to which everyone living in post-Enlightenment times is prone - both modernists and post-modernists.  And there's really only one cure . . .

"First Things First" (02/14/10) Ryan Weberg

1 Timothy 1:3-6 Love. It’s celebrated once a year on Valentine’s Day, complete with hearts, roses, chocolates, and foot-massages – all OK – if you’re a girl! But when is there ever celebrated a masculine concept of love? Not lust, but real, genuine, manly love? That’s what Paul brings us to this morning.
