"Everyone Needs A Scapegoat”
In the Old Testament, on the Day of Atonement, the high priest took two goats…one he would kill and then take the blood from it and some of the blood from the bull and put it on the alter. Then he would take the live goat and lay his hands on it, confessing the sins of the people. This was the scapegoat. After he had done that, the second goat was led out into the wilderness to a remote place and was set free. God is deliberately using this imagery to point to something…to His Son Jesus.

The ACTS 29 Network...what is it? Valley Life is part of the ACTS 29 Network of churches. This is not a denomination, but rather an affiliation of church plants that support and encourage each other in what can be a daunting task.
From Sunday's Message... .....“He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:10-12 (ESV) . . . . . . . . .
