Verde Valley Christian Church Jun 30 – Jul 7, 2024 Sermon Series: Meet Jesus Sermon Title: "Meet Jesus the Lord" Presenter: Jim Hammond Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 1. Real LIFE is from the Lord Jesus John 1:4-5 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." Acts 3:15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 2. Without Jesus you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD John 3:2-4 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has com...

Verde Valley Christian Church Jun 16 – 23, 2024 Sermon Series: Meet Jesus Sermon Title: "Meet Jesus the Servant" Presenter: Jim Hammond John 13:1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 1. Jesus SHOWED his LOVE completely John 13:2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; John 13:4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. John 10:17-18 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I rece...

Verde Valley Christian Church Apr 7, 2024 ========== Welcome to Verde Valley Christian Church April 7, 2024 - Doubt Less - Part 2: Doubt Less about a Theistic Universe ========== Sermon Series: Doubt Less Sermon Title: "Doubt Less About a Theistic Universe" Speaker: Jim Hammond I. True SCIENCE is not in conflict with true FAITH Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. II. NATURALISM is like the shoe that doesn't fit Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. III. The evidence of a FINELY TUNED Universe Psalms 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; ...

Verde Valley Christian Church Mar 10, 2024 Sermon Title: "The Deal of a Lifetime" Speaker: Jim Hammond Matthew 13:44-46 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

Verde Valley Christian Church Feb 25, 2024 Sermon Title: Let the Children Come - Part 3: What This Looks Like for VVCC Speaker: Jim Hammond I. What this DID look like for VVCC There are two things that everybody hates. Change and the way things are. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. Luke 18:16 But Jesus called the children to him and sa...

Verde Valley Christian Church Feb 18, 2024 Sermon Title: Let the Children Come - Part 2: What This Looks Like for Parents Speaker: Jim Hammond Psalms 78:1-7 My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old— things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us. We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands. I. WE WILL pass the baton of faith Psalms 78:4 We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the pra...
