Ninth Avenue Church Of Christ

Even in life’s lowest valleys, God’s purpose still stands. In this powerful message from our Peaks and Valleys series, Matthew Balentine reminds us that the presence of struggle does not mean the absence of God. Drawing from 1 Samuel 16, we see how Samuel, Jesse, and David each faced moments of uncertainty, pride, and obscurity—but God was working through it all. This sermon invites you to trust that even when you feel overlooked or misunderstood, God is shaping something far greater beneath the surface. When you walk with the King, your valley can become a place of transformation and purpose.
