The God who calls you Mine | Pastor Chris Buscher
Too many people spend their lives trying to prove their worth.* Trying to earn acceptance.* Trying to justify their existence.* Trying to find identity in what they do rather than who they belong to.In this message from Isaiah 43, Pastor Chris Buscher reminds us that God formed us before the world labeled us, redeemed us before we could save ourselves, and called us His before He ever called us to an assignment.If you've ever felt overlooked, replaceable, forgotten, or exhausted from trying to measure up, this message points back to one unchanging truth:"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine." - Isaiah 43:1Pastor Chris BuscherMountain Valley ChapelGold Bar, Washington

The Harvest Is Ready, But the Church Is Not | Pentecost Fire and the Holy Spirit
The harvest field has never been bigger. More souls are alive today than at any other point in human history!We have more churches, technology, conferences, and content...But where is the conviction?Where is the fire?Where is the power of the Holy Spirit?In this bold Pentecost message from Acts 2, Pastor Chris Buscher walks through the birth of the Church and why the Upper Room still is relevant today.In this message:Why Jesus told the disciples to WAIT before ministryWhy surrender always comes before fireWhat Pentecost was really aboutWhy Spirit-filled believers are dangerous to the kingdom of darknessWhy the harvest is not waiting for better church programsWhy revival without repentance is powerlessThe early Church was not built on branding, or performance. It was built by surrendered believers filled with the Holy Spirit and burdened for souls.Scripture: Acts 2:1-8 (ESV)Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher

The Making of a Godly Woman | Biblical Motherhood in a Broken Generation!
What does biblical womanhood actually look like in 2026?It's not social media, culture, performance, or perfection. Proverbs 31 reveals something deeper than image or appearance. It reveals what God forms inside a woman who fears Him.In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor Chris walks through the lives of Hannah, Jochebed, Lois, and Eunice to show what real biblical motherhood looks like in difficult seasons.This sermon covers:* Why a godly mother refuses to stop praying* How faith grows when life feels out of control* Why spiritual motherhood matters* How sincere faith impacts generations* Why fearing the Lord matters more than image, status, or culture“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” - Proverbs 31:30 Whether you are a mother, grandmother, spiritual mother, grieving, struggling, or simply tired from carrying heavy things… this message is for you.Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher#MothersDay #Proverbs31 #BiblicalWomanhood #ChristianMother #GodlyWoman #FaithfulMother #ChristianSermon #EverydayPastor #MountainValleyChapel #PastorChris

Did God Really Say That? | Genesis 3: The First Battle Over Truth
“Did God actually say…?” That question didn’t start in 2026. It started in the garden!Genesis 3 shows us something most people miss. The first battle in the Bible was not about fruit. It was about truth.Before sin entered the world, deception entered the mind.In this message:* How the enemy still twists God’s Word today* Why sin becomes attractive when truth becomes negotiable* How entire generations drift by listening to the wrong voice* What Romans 1 reveals about a culture that exchanges truth for a lie* Why discernment is not optional for the Church anymoreWe are not just dealing with cultural issues... We are dealing with a truth issue!Because once truth is questioned… everything else starts to fall apart.Scripture: Genesis 3:1-8, James 1:14-15, Romans 1:24-25Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher#BiblicalTruth #Genesis3 #SpiritualDeception #EndTimes #Discernment #ChristianSermon #TruthMatters #FaithAndTruth #EverydayPastor #MountainValleyChapel

In the Beginning: God Forms Us | Genesis 1:26-28
What is a human life actually worth?Genesis 1:26-28 doesn’t just tell us how man was created… it reveals why human life carries value at all.“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…’”In a world that redefines identity, minimizes truth, and treats people like products, this message goes back to the beginning. Not opinions. Not culture. The Creator.In this sermon:* Why your identity is not self-defined, but God-given* Why every human life carries value, regardless of stage or status * Why attacks on people are ultimately attacks on the image of God* Why culture keeps shifting, but truth never moves * Why Jesus is the perfect image we are called to reflectThis is not political, cultural, this is foundational. Because when a generation loses the voice of God… it starts losing the value of life.Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28, James 3:9, Colossians 1:15-16 (ESV)Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher#ImageOfGod #Genesis1 #ValueOfLife #ProLife #BiblicalTruth #ChristianSermon #FaithAndTruth #JesusIsLord #EverydayPastor #MountainValleyChapel

When God Speaks, Darkness Breaks | Genesis 1:3-8 Explained
What happens when God speaks?In Genesis 1:3-8, the first recorded words of God in Scripture are not spoken to people… they are spoken into darkness.“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” This message walks through the authority of God’s voice, the power of His Word, and why everything changes when He speaks. From creation to your life right now, the pattern has never changed: God speaks, and reality responds.In this message:Why the first words of God were spoken into darkness, not comfort Why God’s voice does not suggest… it commandsWhy the Word of God doesn’t just create, it separatesWhy many people hear God but still resist HimWhy you cannot walk in God’s blessing while ignoring His voiceThis is a direct call to stop treating God’s Word casually and start responding to it with obedience.Because the danger in these last days is not that God is silent… It’s that people hear Him and still say no!Scripture: Genesis 1:3-8, Hebrews 4:12, James 1:22 Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher

In the Beginning, God Alone | Why EVERYTHING falls apart without Genesis 1
What does “In the beginning, God…” actually mean?In this sermon from Genesis 1:1-2, we deal directly with one of the biggest battles of our time: creation vs evolution, truth vs culture, and why everything in your faith collapses if you get the beginning wrong!.This is not an easy conversation for some but this is about having the right foundation.IF God is not the Creator, then:sin doesn’t make sense!the cross loses meaningtruth becomes opinionfaith becomes optionalBUT if Genesis is true, then everything changes!In this message:Why the idea of evolution has reshaped culture and even the churchWhy the Bible does not defend God… it declares HimWhy God existed in absolute glory before anything was createdWhy darkness in Genesis does not threaten GodWhy your biggest problem is not your situation, but your view of GodThis is a direct, biblical call to stop reducing God and start seeing Him as He truly is.Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher#Genesis1 #BiblicalCreation #InTheBeginning #CreationVsEvolution #GodAlone #ChristianTruth #BibleTeaching #FaithFoundation #EverydayPastor #MountainValleyChapel

He Is Risen | If Jesus Walked Out of That Grave, Everything Changes
What does the resurrection of Jesus actually mean?In this Easter sermon from Matthew 28:1-10, we walk through the moment the women came to the tomb expecting death, grief, and finality, only to be confronted with the greatest truth in human history: Jesus Christ is risen.This message deals head-on with the empty tomb, the authority of the risen Christ, and why the resurrection is not just a comforting church tradition, but the foundation of the Christian faith. If Jesus is still in the grave, then Christianity collapses. But if He rose from the dead, then sin has been paid for, death has been conquered, and every person alive must respond to Him.In this sermon:Why people can love Jesus and still expect defeatWhy the empty tomb proves Jesus was telling the truthWhy the resurrection demands repentance, surrender, and worshipWhy Easter is not about religion, emotion, or traditionWhy Jesus Christ cannot be ignored foreverThis is a bold Resurrection Sunday message for anyone asking whether the resurrection really matters, what the empty tomb means, and why the risen Jesus changes everything.Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher

From Glory to Golgotha | The King They Celebrated but Didn’t Understand (Luke 19:28-44)
Victory does not always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it comes through surrender, suffering, and sacrifice. In Luke 19, Jesus enters Jerusalem as a King. The crowds shout. The city erupts. Hope rises. But while everyone else is celebrating, Jesus begins to weep.They recognized His arrival… but misunderstood His purpose. They wanted a King to overthrow Rome. Jesus came to deal with sin.The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” would soon turn their backs. The same people who wanted a King would reject the Lamb.The question is not whether you acknowledge Jesus… The question is whether you understand Him and surrender to Him.Scripture: Luke 19:28-44Pastor: Chris BuscherMountain Valley ChapelGold Bar, Washington#palmSunday #jesusisking #luke19 #gospeltruth #christiansermon #kingandlamb #faithchallenge #repentance #biblestudy #everydaypastor

The Transfiguration | When Jesus Revealed His Glory (Matthew 17)
There are moments in your life where everything shifts.Moments where God pulls back the veil and reminds you who He really is.In Matthew 17, Peter, James, and John are taken up a mountain where Jesus is transfigured before them. His glory is revealed. Moses and Elijah appear. And the voice of the Father speaks from heaven:“This is my beloved Son… listen to him.”This wasn’t just a powerful moment.It was preparation.Before the cross...Before the confusion...Before their faith would be tested...Jesus revealed His glory so they would not fall apart when things got hard.This message is a call to discernment, surrender, and learning to listen when God speaks. Because you can be sincere and still miss what Heaven is saying.Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 (ESV)Also referenced: Joshua 5:13-15, 2 Peter 1:16-18Mountain Valley ChapelGold Bar, Washington

The Point of No Return | Matthew 16:21-28 | Pastor Chris Buscher
Many people today are “deconstructing” their faith.But walking away from Christ rarely happens overnight. It usually begins with small compromises, unresolved disappointment, hidden sin, or distractions that slowly pull someone away from the mission of God.In Matthew 16, Jesus confronts His disciples with a defining moment. After Peter declares Him to be the Christ, Jesus begins explaining the true cost of following Him.“Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.’”Matthew 16:24 (ESV)This message challenges believers to move beyond admiration and into full surrender.Once you see Jesus clearly, there is a point of no return.Sermon recorded at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington.

Miracles of Mercy | His Steps, His Story (Mark 2:1-12)
Four friends refused to let a crowd stop them from getting a broken man to Jesus. In Mark 2, we see a miracle that begins with faith, mercy, and forgiveness before healing. This message is a call to carry the hurting to Christ and believe that His mercy still changes everything.Pastor Chris BuscherMountain Valley ChapelGold Bar, WA#Sermon #Mark2 #MiraclesOfJesus #AmazingGrace #Faith #Mercy #MountainValleyChapel #EverydayPastor

The Kingdom Announced | HIS Steps, HIS Story
In Luke 4, Jesus returns to Nazareth, opens the scroll of Isaiah, and declares that the prophecy has been fulfilled in Him. The Kingdom is announced. The Messiah is standing in front of them.At first, they marvel. Then they question. Then they try to control Him. Finally, they attempt to throw Him off a cliff.This message exposes a sobering truth: you can know Scripture, attend church, and still miss the Savior if familiarity replaces faith. Real faith does not negotiate. It does not demand proof. It surrenders.If you’ve been setting terms with God, this is your moment to lay them down.Scripture: Luke 4:16–30; Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)Recorded live at Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, Washington.Pastor Chris Buscher

The Tested Savior | His Steps, His Story | Pastor Chris Buscher
Temptation does not usually come as open rebellion... It comes as shortcuts, pressure, and compromise!In Matthew 4, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness and tempted by the devil. Satan attacks His appetite, His identity, and His worship. Jesus responds the same way every time: “It is written.”This message exposes why the wilderness is preparation, not punishment, why shortcuts are the enemy’s favorite weapon, and why breakthrough comes when decisions are final. The devil left when Jesus stopped negotiating.If you’ve been fighting the same cycle, protecting a backup plan, or living halfway surrendered, this message calls you to close the door and make obedience final.Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11; James 4:7-8 Recorded live at Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, Washington.

The Baptism of Jesus | His Steps, His Story
Why would Jesus step into a baptism meant for repentance?In Matthew 3, John the Baptist is calling people to repentance and warning that judgment is coming. Then Jesus arrives and insists on being baptized, not because He needed cleansing, but to fulfill all righteousness and identify with us in the waters.This message is a direct call to stop negotiating with God. Obedience is not optional. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. Partial obedience is still rebellion. And the Spirit of God rests on surrender, not compromise.If you’ve been asking God for more while resisting what He already told you to do, this is your moment to step forward with a new yes.Scripture: Matthew 3:11-17; James 4:7-8 (ESV)Recorded live at Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, Washington.Pastor Chris Buscher

Stewardship That Honors God | The Year We Refuse to Settle | Pastor Chris Buscher
Stewardship is not about money... It is about trust, vision, and allegiance.In Matthew 6, Jesus exposes what actually controls the human heart. What we store reveals what we trust. How we see shapes how we live. And no one serves two masters.This message confronts fear disguised as wisdom, control disguised as responsibility, and self-preservation disguised as maturity. It challenges the Church to stop carrying unnecessary weight and align fully with what God is building.We are not here to build an empire. We are here to steward what belongs to God and invest in what lasts beyond us.Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24; Joshua 24:15 (ESV)Recorded live at Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, Washington.

Strengthen What Remains | The Year We Refuse to Settle (Revelation 3)
For over a century, Kodak dominated photography. They were strong, trusted, and influential. But when the future arrived, they protected what worked yesterday instead of strengthening what remained. They did not reject the future. They delayed it. And delay cost them everything.In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to a church just like that. Sardis had a name. A reputation. A history. But Christ exposed the truth beneath the surface: “You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains.”This message is not about fear or speculation. Revelation was never written to scare the church. It was written to steady the church. Jesus does not condemn Sardis. He calls them to wake up, repent, and act while there is still time.This sermon confronts spiritual drift, delayed obedience, and comfort that quietly kills urgency. It calls the Church to stop looking backward, strengthen what still lives, and return to first love before collapse comes.Scripture: Revelation 3:1-6; Revelation 2:4-5 (ESV)Location: Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher#revelation3 #strengthenwhatremains #christiansermon #churchawakening #repentance #endure #faithfulness #refusetosettle #biblestudy #christianteaching

The Year We Refuse to Settle: "Break the Cycle"
Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington on January 4, 2026 by Pastor Chris Buscher.Every generation faces a moment where staying feels safer than moving, even when staying is slowly destroying them. This message opens with the true story of Centralia, Pennsylvania, a coal town that did not collapse overnight. A fire started underground in 1962. You could not see it. Life continued. People stayed because it was familiar. 60 years later the town is almost completely abandoned, and the fire is still burning beneath the surface.Destruction rarely announces itself. Many times it begins with hesitation. Sometimes the greatest danger is not what is in front of us, but what is underneath us. God’s warnings are not threats. They are mercy. And there comes a moment in the walk of faith where God stops explaining and starts commanding movement.From there, we step into Joshua 1. Moses is dead. Forty years of wandering are over. A new generation is standing on the edge of the Jordan River, staring at a promise they almost missed once already. God does not ask for opinions. He does not take a vote. He gives a command: “Now therefore arise.”In this message, we walk through three truths that confront settling and call God’s people forward:Lingering in Yesterday Delays Obedience TodayHonoring the past must never become disobedience in the present. Moses was faithful, but his season was over. Yesterday may feel safe and familiar, but obedience always lives in today. Memory or movement. Comfort or obedience. God makes it clear that the future cannot be reached by lingering in yesterday.Courage Is Commanded Because Fear Is ExpectedGod does not wait for fear to leave before He commands obedience. Fear is normal. Fear is expected. But fear does not get a vote. Joshua was not fearless. He was obedient in the middle of fear. Scripture shows us that delaying, compromising, and hesitating disqualify progress far faster than fear ever could.God’s Promises Require Movement, Not AgreementThe promise was already given, but possession required movement. An entire generation believed in the promise, talked about the promise, and sang about the promise, yet never stepped into it. Promises do not activate by agreement. They activate by obedience. Every place your foot treads. Not every place you agree with God about.This sermon is a call to Mountain Valley Chapel, and to every believer listening, to refuse to settle between Egypt and the promises of God. We may not always be fearless. We may not always feel ready. But we will be faithful.The only question that remains is this: will we simply agree with God, or will we move with Him?Main Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9Additional Scripture: Hebrews 10:35-39

From Glory to Glory | Why Real Transformation Begins With Repentance (2 Corinthians 3)
What happens when God actually shows up and His people beg Him to keep His distance?At Mount Sinai, nearly two million redeemed people encountered the glory of God and backed away in fear. Fire. Thunder. Trembling earth. The voice of the Lord. Instead of drawing near, they asked for a mediator and chose distance over exposure.In this message from 2 Corinthians 3–4, the Apostle Paul explains why the veil existed, what removes it, and how real transformation happens. Growth does not begin with knowledge, gifting, or spiritual experiences. It begins with turning.This sermon confronts a modern church culture that confuses noise with maturity, gifts with growth, and moments with glory. True glory is not hype. It is what remains after the moment fades.If you want real change, endurance, and freedom in the Holy Spirit, this message will challenge you to stop managing distance and start beholding Christ.Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:16–18; 4:1–2 (ESV)Location: Mountain Valley Chapel, Gold Bar, Washington#repentance #gloryofGod #christiansermon #biblestudy #holyspirit #fromglorytoglory #churchawakening #christianteaching #mountsinai #spiritualgrowth #beholdchrist #endurancefaith

When Heaven Broke the Silence | Pastor Chris Buscher

The Jesus MOST people NEVER see
Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington on December 7, 2025. Communion service.Most people have grown up around a tame version of Jesus. Soft. Distant. Gentle and safe. More like a grandfather in the clouds than the holy Creator of Scripture.This message pulls the mask off that false image and takes you into the garden of Gethsemane in John 18. The same Creator who spoke galaxies into existence, split seas, shut lions mouths, and raised the dead, quietly walks across the brook Kidron on the night He is betrayed.We watch Him step into the garden where:A full Roman detachment arrives with torches, weapons, and armorJudas leads an army that thinks it is walking into a warThe disciples are half asleep and completely unpreparedThen Jesus does what only the real Jesus can do. He steps forward, puts Himself between the soldiers and His followers, and speaks the name that knocks them to the ground. When He says, "I am he," He is not just identifying Himself. He is revealing that the same "I AM" who spoke to Moses is now standing in front of a thousand armed men and choosing to protect His own.From there, we walk through three movements:The Creator Who Steps Forward and Protects His OwnJesus does not hide behind His disciples. He shields them. He demands their release. He refuses to lose even one of those the Father has given Him. The same Jesus who saved their souls also protected their lives. He is still doing it today.The Creator Who Drinks the Cup No One Else Could CarryPeter reaches for a sword. Jesus reaches for the cup. This is not a battle that can be won with steel or human strength. The "cup" is not just suffering. It is holy judgment and righteous wrath, the weight of the sin of the world concentrated into one assignment. Only the Lamb of God could drink it. Only the Creator in flesh could survive it.The Creator Who Suffered the Cross for His CreationWe walk through the stations of the cross: the illegal trials, the beatings, the flogging, the crown of thorns, the long walk to Golgotha, the nails, the suffocating agony. In the middle of it all, Jesus still speaks words of forgiveness, promise, care, lament, completion, and surrender. When He finally yields up His spirit, the veil tears, the earth shakes, tombs open, and even a hardened Roman soldier confesses that He is the Son of God. No one took His life. He gave it.This sermon leads directly into communion, calling believers to remember not a soft cultural Jesus, but the holy, eternal, all powerful Creator who chose the garden, chose the cup, and chose the cross.If this message shifts how you see Jesus, share it, leave a rating, and take communion with a fresh awareness of who is actually seated at the right hand of the Father.Main Scripture: John 18:1–11Additional Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 & Hebrews 12:2

A Church that multiplies | Pastor Chris Buscher
When God builds His Church, it always multiplies. Acts 6 shows a powerful picture of growth, pressure, unity, leadership, and a move of God that could not be stopped.This message walks through the story of Virginia Hawes, the explosive growth of the Early Church, and the moment the apostles released new leaders to carry the weight of revival. What we hold dies, but what we release multiplies.If you live in Gold Bar, Sultan, Index, Startup, or anywhere in the Sky Valley, this message will speak straight to your heart.Preached live on November 30, 2025 at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar Washington.Scripture: Acts 6:1–7 (ESV)Watch more messages at:https://www.mountainvalleychapel.org/messages#GoldBarWA #SkyValley #SultanWA #MonroeWA #MountainValleyChapel #BibleTeaching #Acts6

The Church God Sees: A Church Marked by Love
Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington on November 16, 2025.What kind of church does God actually see when He looks at us? In this message, Pastor Chris tells the story of missionary Jim Elliot, his martyrdom in the jungles of Ecuador, and the shocking forgiveness of his wife Elisabeth, who returned to live among the very tribe that killed her husband. The world called it a tragedy. Heaven called it revival.From that story, we step into the upper room in John 13. It is the night Jesus is betrayed. The public miracles are done. The crowds are gone. The cross is coming. Before the nails, before the garden, before the arrest, Jesus gets on His knees and washes the feet of His disciples, including the one who would betray Him. Then He gives a new commandment:“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” - John 13:34–35 In this message we walk through three realities that define a church marked by love:Love Begins Where Pride DiesFrom a prison cell, Paul writes to a divided church in Philippi and tells them to do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than themselves (Philippians 2:3–4). The world says “climb higher.” Jesus says “go lower.” Real love begins where pride finally dies.The Church Cannot Be Spirit Filled and Love EmptyIn Galatians 5:22–23, Paul reminds a young, divided church that the fruit of the Spirit begins with love. Before joy, before peace, before anything else, love comes first. A church that claims to be Spirit filled but refuses to walk in sacrificial love is lying to itself. The early church did not only speak in new tongues, they loved in new ways.Love Is the Revival the World Has Been Waiting ForJesus never said the world would know us by our sermons, buildings, or programs. He said they would know us by our love. From the early church caring for the sick during plagues, to believers standing firm under persecution, to Elisabeth Elliot forgiving the men who killed her husband, history has been shaken again and again by supernatural love.This message calls Mountain Valley Chapel, and every believer who listens, to shock the Snohomish Valley again with the kind of love that only the Holy Spirit can birth. Not a love of words and branding, but a love that forgives, serves, and lays down pride for the sake of people Jesus died to save.If this sermon helps you, share it with a friend, leave a rating, and pray about how God is calling you to love in a way that actually looks like Jesus.

The Church God Sees: A Church Rooted in the Word
When the Church stops trembling at the Word of God, it loses its power. This message from Pastor Chris Buscher reminds us that true revival doesn’t come from hype or emotion but from hearts that return to the authority of Scripture.Drawing from Nehemiah 8 and the story of the Welsh Revival, this sermon calls the Church to repentance, reverence, and renewal. When we stop debating God’s Word and start obeying it, everything changes.Recorded live at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington on November 9, 2025.

A Church Built on Christ | Pastor Chris Buscher
In this message, Pastor Chris Buscher preaches from Matthew 16:13–20 on what it truly means to be a church built on Christ. The world may change its blueprints, but God’s design never fails. When Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church,” He declared that His people would be unshakable, unstoppable, and grounded in truth.This message challenges believers to return to the foundation, to let go of comfort, and to be part of the advancing Church that God Himself is building. Revival doesn’t start with a building or a program. It starts with a revelation that Jesus Christ is Lord.Scripture References: Matthew 16:13–20, Psalm 127:1Visit www.mvcgoldbar.com to learn more about Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington.

Faith on the Edge of Something Greater | Pastor Chris Buscher
