Echos From The Valley
Pastor Jason Mull shares insights from the previous week's sermon at Rocky Valley Baptist Church.


Psalm 1:1-6
We live in a world full of choices — a thousand different paths promising happiness, success, and peace. But Psalm 1 reminds us that there are really only two ways to live: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly… but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2) The blessed life isn’t about luck, money, or status — it’s about direction. It’s about

Matthew 7:15-20
We live in a world full of voices. Everyone’s got a platform. Everyone’s got a message. You can scroll your phone and hear 10 different “truths” before breakfast. But not every voice that sounds spiritual is speaking for God. Jesus warned us about this very thing in Matthew 7:15–20 — “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” That’s a strong image. They look like sheep. They sound like sheep. But their hearts aren

Matthew 7: 1-6
It seems like we live in a world where “Judge not” is quoted more than John 3:16 — but often for all the wrong reasons. Some use it to avoid conviction, while others forget what Jesus was really warning against in Matthew 7:1–6. Jesus wasn’t telling us to throw away all discernment or stop calling sin what it is. He was calling us to look in the mirror before we point a finger. “For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be mea

Matthew 6:25-34
Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25–34 remind us that worry adds nothing to our lives—but trust in Him changes everything. When we let fear take the wheel, it’s usually because our faith has drifted into the back seat. Fear is a result of faithlessness. It whispers that God might not show up this time, that the unknown is somehow bigger than His plan. But friend, the unknown doesn’t exist to God—He is omniscient , omnipresent , and omnipotent. There is no surprise waiting around t

Matthew 5:43-48
Jesus closes Matthew 5 with perhaps His most radical command yet: “Love your enemies.” Not just tolerate them. Not just avoid them. Love them. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you. Why? Because that’s what our Father does. The sun rises on the righteous and the unrighteous. The rain falls on both the good and the evil. God’s love is not limited to those who deserve it — and neither should ours be. The truth is, anyone can love people who love them back.

Matthew 5:21-30
The Matter of the Heart The Pharisees thought they were righteous because they never killed anyone or committed adultery. But Jesus reminds us that anger is the seed of murder, and lust is the seed of adultery. Sin begins in the thoughts we entertain and the attitudes we hold long before it shows up in our actions. That’s why reconciliation is so important. Jesus said if we come to worship but know there’s brokenness between us and someone else, we need to seek peace first. G

Matthew 5:17
Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17) For many people then—and many today—the idea of “law” feels like a burden. But Jesus makes it clear: He didn’t come to throw away God’s Word. He came to bring it to its fullness. Every promise, every prophecy, every command finds its meaning in Him. The Pharisees thought righteousness was about keeping rules. Jesus shows us it’s about keeping our

Romans 5:18-21
In Romans 5:18–21, Paul draws a powerful comparison between Adam and Christ. Through Adam’s one act of disobedience, sin entered the world, and condemnation spread to all. But through Christ’s one act of righteousness—the cross—grace and justification are offered to all who believe. Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more. I stand thankful for that truth every single day!! This is the heart of the gospel. We don’t have to stay under the weight of guilt and failure. No ma
