Journey Church

How to trust God when you don't know what's next can feel especially difficult when life isn’t going according to plan. You want clarity. You want answers. You want to know how everything is going to work out—but sometimes, God doesn’t show you what’s next. So how do you trust Him when you can’t see the way forward? In this message, we look at what it means to trust God in seasons of unc...

The Kind of Church Our Communities Are Waiting For asks a bigger question than whether church still matters: What kind of church does your community actually need? People around you are searching for hope, real friendships, and a sense of purpose. And while many may feel disconnected from church, that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped searching for something more. In this message, guest speaker Sean Ba...

Becoming Outward-Facing means learning to notice the people you might naturally overlook. If you want to become more like Jesus, that includes becoming aware of the people around you—even those who think, live, believe, or act differently than you. We all have biases and blind spots. The question is what we do with them. Throughout the book of Acts, we see God repeatedly bringing outsiders into Hi...

Becoming Others-Focused is one of the simplest ways to grow closer to God. Jesus connected loving God with loving your neighbor—and when you focus on the people around you, something changes in you too. Sometimes we make following Jesus more complicated than it needs to be. We study more, listen to more messages, and try harder to get everything right. Those things can be good, but Jesus gave us a...

Becoming Jesus-Centered means more than going to church, reading your Bible, praying, or trying harder. Those things matter—but you can do all the “right” things and still wonder, *Why don’t I feel closer to God?* Jesus gives us a surprisingly simple answer in John 14:5–9: if you want to know God, get to know Jesus. But knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Him. In this message, we explore...

A New Foundation | Have your past failures become the foundation of how you see yourself? Maybe the voice in your head keeps reminding you that you're not good enough, you don't belong, or you'll never measure up. But what if that voice isn't telling you the truth? In Week 3 of our Fixer Upper series, we explore the difference between guilt and shame—and why Jesus doesn't...

Taking Off The Weight | What if the weight you've been carrying isn't stress or exhaustion—but guilt? Whether it's something you did years ago or something that happened this week, unresolved guilt has a way of following you into every relationship. The good news is that Jesus offers a better way. In Week 2 of our Fixer Upper series, we discover how confession isn't about pilin...

Getting Through It | Loss is inevitable—but you don't have to face it alone. In this message from the Fixer Upper series, we discover why Jesus said, "God blesses those who mourn," and how God meets us with comfort as we walk through life's deepest hurts. Every one of us will experience loss. Sometimes it's the loss of someone we love. Other times it's the loss of a d...

Is Your Basement Flooded? Maybe not literally—but what if the stress, anxiety, anger, fear, or exhaustion you're experiencing is a sign that something deeper is happening beneath the surface? Before you can fix what's around you, you may need to deal with what's going on inside you. In the first message of our Fixer Upper series, we discover why the emotions we ignore often become t...

Let's Pray Together | What if one of the most powerful prayers you could pray isn't about your own needs? In this message from Matthew 9:35–38, we discover the surprising prayer Jesus asked His followers to pray—and why it's still one of the most important prayers we can pray today. We all come to God hoping to see Him move. Maybe you're praying for healing, direction, a breakt...

His Big Story is the story every one of us is invited into. It’s easy to believe your life is too ordinary to matter, but what if God is weaving your story into something far bigger than you can see? In this special message closing our Worth It series, we celebrate how God has been working through Journey Church for more than 21 years—and look ahead to the bigger mission He continues to invite us...

Be The Church FOR Everybody | Have you ever felt like church wasn't meant for people like you? Maybe it seemed confusing, exclusive, or designed for people who already had everything figured out. But what if Jesus intended something different? In this message, we explore a truth that has shaped Journey Church from the very beginning: the church isn't just for church people. The church is...

The Steps You Take can shape someone else's story more than you realize. Every act of kindness, every invitation, every moment of serving, and every step of faith has the potential to point someone toward the grace of Jesus. In this message from Ephesians 2:8–10, we discover that following Jesus isn't just about receiving God's grace—it's about living with purpose. You were cre...

Why It's Worth It is a question every follower of Jesus eventually asks. When serving feels exhausting, change feels constant, and the mission gets difficult, how do you keep going? In this message, we discover the deeper reason it's worth continuing to invest your life in what God is doing. The apostle Paul faced challenge after challenge, yet he never lost sight of what motivated him....

Finding Your Place | What’s the biggest problem in your life right now? Maybe it’s stress, relationships, money, purpose, anxiety, or feeling stuck. We all have problems—but what if the problem you’re devoted to solving is shaping the kind of life you live? In this message from our Losing Religion series, we explore the mission Jesus gave His followers after His resurrection—and how finding your p...

Letting Go of Loopholes | Have you ever looked for a loophole? A way to justify what you want, avoid what’s hard, or explain away what you know is right? We all do it—and it impacts our relationships, our choices, and even our faith. In this message from our Losing Religion series, we explore the powerful new command Jesus gave His followers: “Love one another as I have loved you.” And when you re...

All Mixed Up | Have you ever wondered if you’re really good with God? Maybe you’ve felt close to Him one moment—and uncertain the next. Maybe faith has started feeling more like pressure, guilt, or performance than a real relationship. In this message from our Losing Religion series, we explore how many people unknowingly mix old religious thinking with the new way Jesus introduced. And when that...

Out With the Old | Have you ever felt like you were slowly losing your faith? Maybe not because you wanted to walk away from God—but because disappointment, hurt, doubt, or religious pressure made faith feel exhausting instead of personal. In this message, we explore why Jesus didn’t come to make religion better—He came to remove the barriers keeping people from a real relationship with Him. Looki...

Life can feel confusing when your heart is heavy and the world feels divided. You can be deeply burdened by what’s broken around you and still choose gratitude for what God is doing in the middle of it. In this message, we explore what breaks God’s heart, what should break ours, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world full of fear, division, and noise. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by...

In Luke 23, Jesus does the unthinkable. While suffering on the cross, He forgives the very people who mocked, rejected, and crucified Him. His followers watched Him live out everything He had ever taught about mercy, love, and forgiveness—even in His final moments. The same invitation is in front of you. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough in your faith is not learning more about Jesus, but finally...

What If They’re Not Bad… Just Lost? is for the moment when frustration, judgment, or self-righteousness begins to shape the way you see the people around you. In Luke 15, Jesus tells the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son to completely redefine how God views people—not as good or bad, but as lost or found. The same shift can happen in you. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough...

Which Way Will We Walk? That question sits at the center of one of Jesus’ most well known stories—the Good Samaritan. In a world full of division, opinions, and “us vs. them,” Jesus offers a completely different path—one that challenges how you see people and how you choose to live. In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus is asked a simple question: “Who is my neighbor?” But instead of giving a simple answer, He...

One Step From Jesus is for the moment when you know Jesus is inviting you forward—but the next step feels inconvenient, uncertain, or even unreasonable. In Luke 5, Peter had every reason to say no. He was tired, frustrated, and done for the day. But one small step of obedience opened the door to an encounter that changed his life forever. The same is true for you. Sometimes the biggest breakthroug...

The Best Kind of Faith starts with a question that gets personal fast: If your life is a commercial, what are you advertising? This message invites you to move beyond a faith that only believes and into the kind of faith that actually does what Jesus says. If your spiritual life has felt stagnant, routine, or disconnected, this message from Luke 3 will help you rediscover what real faith looks lik...

How Did We Get The Bible | If you’ve ever wondered where the Bible came from—or whether Christianity really depends on “because the Bible says so”—this message helps you start in the right place: with Jesus. In this episode of Discovering Jesus, we explore the question behind so many doubts: How did we get the Bible, and can it really be trusted? The answer begins with an event, not a book. Before...
