Central Valley Church Podcast

In this Summer Nights message, Pastor Ron Eviaz shares a powerful word titled “Extra Oil,” reminding us that God has called us to live with more than just enough. Through Matthew 25, we are challenged to pursue the presence of God, stay spiritually charged, and make room for the anointing that brings breakthrough, healing, and transformation. Pastor Ron encourages us not to settle for spiritual complacency, but to develop a hunger for more of God. When we spend time in His presence, we become carriers of His oil, His power, and His peace. Listen now and be encouraged to seek the Lord for fresh oil in your life.

In this message from Malachi 2:1-16, Pastor Josh continues our series, “When Worship Grows Cold.” God confronts the priests of Israel for their shallow worship, poor leadership, and faithlessness, but His correction comes from a place of love. This sermon reminds us that true worship is not just what we say or sing, but how we live before the Lord. As followers of Jesus, we are called to represent Him faithfully, guard our hearts, walk in integrity, and honor the covenants and relationships God has entrusted to us. Scripture: Malachi 2:1-16 We pray this message encourages you to draw near to God and keep your heart tender before Him.

In this message from Philippians 4, we look at what joy looks like in real life. Paul reminds us that joy is not found in perfect circumstances. Joy is found in Christ. Even while writing from prison, Paul calls the church to rejoice and shows how joy in Christ affects every part of life. Joy helps us stand firm. Joy shapes our relationships. Joy leads us to prayer instead of panic. Joy trains our thoughts. Joy teaches contentment. Joy becomes generous. If you have been carrying anxiety, bitterness, fear, pressure, or the weight of trying to control everything, this message is an encouragement to bring it all before the Lord and allow His peace to guard your heart and mind. Scripture: Philippians 4:1–23 Thank you for listening. Share this message with someone who needs to be reminded that Christ is enough in every season. #CentralValleyChurch #Philippians4 #JoyInRealLife #Faith #Prayer #Jesus

What do we do when parts of our faith feel confusing? In this message from our Fundamentals series, we explore one of the most important and sometimes misunderstood truths of Christianity—the Trinity. While the word “Trinity” isn’t found in the Bible, Scripture clearly reveals that God exists as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rather than something to avoid because it’s difficult to fully comprehend, the Trinity actually reveals something incredible about who God is. Our God is co-eternal, co-equal, and co-relational—a God who has always existed in perfect love. And out of that overflowing love, He created us and invites us into relationship with Him. In this message, we look at: • What the Trinity means and where we see it in Scripture • The difference between understanding God and fully comprehending Him • How the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveal the nature of God • Why God being Trinity shows that God is love • What it means for our lives to reflect that same overflowing love The God of the Bible is not distant or uninterested in our lives. He is a relational God who invites us into His love, His community, and His mission. Our prayer is that this message encourages you to go deeper in your understanding of God and inspires you to walk closer with Jesus this week.

We’ve reached the final week of our Define the Relationship series, and this message tackles one of the most honest and difficult questions many people quietly wrestle with: What if I married the wrong person? In this teaching, we step back from cultural ideas about soulmates and happiness-driven relationships and return to God’s original design for marriage. Looking at Genesis 2, Matthew 19, 1 Corinthians 7, and Ephesians 5, we explore what Scripture actually says about covenant, commitment, and the “one flesh” union God created. Marriage is not human constructed. It is God created. And what God joins together is meant to reflect something deeper than compatibility. It reflects Christ and His Church. This message covers: • What the Bible says about marriage and covenant • How to respond when marriage feels hard or disappointing • The difference between covenant love and consumer love • Real limits, wisdom, and safety in difficult situations • Practical steps to rebuild friendship, faith, and unity If you’ve ever felt doubt, discouragement, or wondered whether you made a mistake, this message reminds us that hard does not automatically mean wrong. In Christ, there is always hope, healing, and redemption. Whether you’re married, single, divorced, or widowed, this teaching will encourage you to anchor your relationships in the faithfulness of Jesus. Listen in and let God redefine what covenant love looks like.

In week 2 of our Define The Relationship series, we dive into understanding the purpose of our relationships—whether single, dating, married, or complicated. Pastor explores how Christ-centered living shapes every season of life and relationship, and why knowing the purpose of your current relationship status unlocks its full potential. Discover how singleness is a gift, dating prepares for marriage, and marriage fulfills God’s design. Learn practical guidance, red flags in dating, and how to honor God in every stage. 📖 Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 7 🙏 Key Takeaways: • Christ at the center of all relationships • Every relationship status has a purpose • Singleness is a season for devotion and growth • Dating should lead toward marriage, not just recreation • Marriage thrives when Christ is at the center Whether you’re single, dating, married, or navigating a complicated season, this message encourages you to pursue contentment, concentration, and character in Christ first. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and let God guide your relationships!

In this message from our Core Values series, we dive into two foundational pillars of who we are as Central Valley Church: Biblical Community and Family. What does it truly mean to belong to the Body of Christ? How is biblical community different from every other kind of community we experience in life? And why is it not optional—but essential—for every follower of Jesus? Using 1 Corinthians 12, we’re reminded that every believer has value, purpose, and a place in the body. You matter. Your gifts matter. And we need each other to walk out God’s will, find healing, carry burdens together, and grow in unity. The message also unpacks why family is one of God’s primary ways of passing faith from generation to generation. God is for your marriage. He is for your children. He is for your legacy. No matter how broken or messy your story may feel, God is still writing redemption into your family line. Whether you’re longing for deeper connection, feeling like you don’t belong, or fighting for your family—this message is for you. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and lean in. 📖 Scriptures include: 1 Corinthians 12, James 5:16, Galatians 6:2, 2 Timothy 1:5, Exodus 34, Genesis 22 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded they’re not alone.

We’re kicking off our new series “The Core” by diving into the first two core values that shape who we are as a church: Biblical Teaching and Authentic Worship. In this message, we explore why the Word of God is essential to the life of every follower of Jesus and why it can be trusted as truth. We also unpack what authentic worship really means—not just singing songs, but living a life fully devoted to honoring God in every area. This teaching challenges us to ask honest questions: • Why does the Bible matter, and can it truly be trusted? • What does it mean to genuinely follow Jesus? • How do we know if our worship is authentic or just routine? • How should worship shape our daily lives, relationships, and character? This message is both foundational and practical, calling us to be people who are rooted in Scripture and transformed through sincere, wholehearted worship. It’s an invitation to grow deeper in truth, live with integrity, and allow God to shape us into the likeness of Christ. 🎧 Listen in and examine what truly sits at the core of your faith.
