Money seems to be this untouchable thing that we can’t really talk about with others. Most people are raised from childhood to not talk about money, but they don’t know why this unwritten rule exists. And why is that?
Based on misinformation, poor examples, or even our own desires, we’re left on our own to figure things out financially. This “plan” has led to a culture swarmed with debt, financial stress, and personal brokenness. Even Scripture tells us that “Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after.” Maybe money is just a bad thing. Not so. Money matters!
Join ValleyPoint church as we look at God’s plan for financial stewardship. It’s a plan that gives us the freedom to climb the generosity ladder, and pursue His true desires!

Have you ever wished that your life could slow down…even just a bit? Ever wished that you could make life simpler? Ever wish you could snap your fingers and do less, disconnect, drive slower, single-task, and just breathe? So often the pressure to pack our lives full of activity and maximize our time by doing more consumes us. Being consumed leads to frantic activity. The problem with frantic activity is that it can potentially cause a dramatic life crash. Not good.
If we go on living as if cluttered is normal and good, unhappiness will rule. Anxiety, stress, and depression will become our normal modus operandi. Join ValleyPoint church as we have an honest discussion on how to say no to craziness by simplifying our lives. It’s possible!

Ever dream of doing something great with your life? Ever wonder what it would be like to give people something to talk about – in a good way? Do you dream of having big impact, but think it will never happen because you don’t move in the right circles? Lasting impact may be just a small choice away because an every day commitment to obey God gives us the opportunity for a “not so small” kind of life. Small choices directed by God have the potential to lead to big impact. When we place our small lives in the hands of a big God, we get the opportunity to be used by God in ways that are disproportionate o who we are. And this is a good thing!
Join ValleyPoint church as we investigate the lives of four Old Testament characters that don’t have the “big name.” They don’t come with attention grabbing headlines. No children’s books are written describing their great actions. However, they had the kind of impact that can’t really be measured. They lived an unSmall kind of life simply because they chose obedience over convenience.

It seems that wanting to be “like Jesus” is something that inspires many people. It sounds like a nice idea. We picture Jesus as being ultimately kind and willing to help the helpless. Jesus was truly all of that and much more. It’s the “more” part that we sometimes avoid.
There is another side to Jesus that we don’t often investigate. It’s the side of Jesus that threw down hard challenges. He often gave the type of challenges that would cause many to walk away saying, “it’s too hard.”
In reality, do we actually want to be like Jesus? Do we really want to follow after Him? If so, we must look at His words and then act. Join ValleyPoint Church as we investigate some of the sayings of Jesus that have the potential to help us move beyond the status quo.
Listen To Do you Really want to be like Jesus?
Boundaries are unique because they have a way of keeping things in place. They provide sight lines that determine where you can and can’t go. Unfortunately, when we think of boundaries, we often see them as limiting, binding, or confining. Boundaries limit us in games and in life. Or…do they?
Join us for this fun experience as we investigate how living “In Bounds” can actually bring the greatest amount of freedom.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, right? As a matter of fact, even
the fence is better on the other side of the fence! Everything is perfect on the other side, and
we want perfect.
In a fast-paced, consumer-driven culture, it seems that there is a constant push to make sure
that I buy more things, have more fun, take another vacation, have perfect kids, and chase
the perfect life on the “other side of the fence.”
The reality is, God wants you to enjoy life right where you are. It’s possible! Join ValleyPoint
Church as we explode the greener grass conspiracy!

This season that is right in front of us is unique. As Harry Connick Jr., Andy Williams, and Johnny Matthis endlessly remind us, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” And it is. Behind all of the stuff and the events are people.
It’s kind of like the very first Christmas. That first celebration was about people – just the way God wanted it. Joseph. Mary. Baby Jesus. Shepherds. Wise Men. We love to focus on the cuddly baby, the angels who sang, and the adoring parents. But before the baby, Mary, and Joseph…there are other people that are part of the genealogy of Jesus.
When you look at some of the people listed, you just shake your head and say, “WHO?!” They’re people with a past. They’re people with issues. They’re people with secrets. They’re people like us.
Join ValleyPoint Church as we look at unexpected people who had surprising impact.
Listen to WHO?!
Core Values by definition are “principles that guide”. To keep it real simple, Core Values provide a path on which to travel. Core Values are those things that help define, drive, and determine.
They define who we are. They drive how we function. They determine what gets celebrated. Core Values actually give us an excuse to throw a party! When we stay on “the path” that our core values have set before us…party time!
Core Values are so much more than just a bunch of words thrown together that look good as a wall decoration. They should define, drive, and determine.
Join ValleyPoint Church as we share our Core Values – values filled with action, commitment, and alignment!

The story of Jonah in Scripture is truly fascinating. It’s mysterious. It gives us a good laugh. It raises a lot of questions. It seems that most people know something of the story of a man and the “big fish.” But what should we do with this story?
When you dig into the story, it begs you to “jump in” and participate. It begs you to personalize the questions. It begs you to take a look at what may lie beneath the surface of our own lives that would cause us to keep God at a comfortable distance.
Jonah’s a lot like us in many ways. He runs. He gets mad. He becomes preoccupied with himself. He forgets. He grumbles. There’s a lot going on below the surface of his life that no one sees. No one but God.
Join ValleyPoint Church as we look at what lies beneath our actions, motives, and thoughts.

On this day, we celebrate the Grand Opening of our new name, as well as our 40th birthday as a faith community. For the past 40 years, we have been helping families in the Delaware Valley grow in their faith and thrive in their relationships. From our first hand full of leaders who dreamed the dream, to the dynamic leadership that continues to dream new dreams today, we have been a church who believes in serving its community while expecting nothing in return. Our dream is simple…pointing people to real relationships that inspire real significance. Looking for real relationships? Looking for a way to have real significance? You can find it at ValleyPoint Church!

Is it possible that we occasionally respect sin by not getting rid of it as it appears? Is it possible that we sometimes respect sin by sweeping what we consider to be “small” under the rug? Is it possible that we respect sin by laughing it off as no big deal? Maybe these “respectable sins” seem small and insignificant, but they’re still sin. Throughout this series we will offer real hope for having victory over the sins we tolerate.

Everyone seems to have an opinion, and everyone seems to know the best way to do things. But is there a source that we can go to that actually has good advice that never fails and always comes at the right time?
In this two part series we will be looking at the advice a man named James gives on how to navigate through the confusion that life brings.
