Christ Journey Church

The vision John records in Revelation 17-18 states the world and everything in it is all going away. “World” in this context doesn’t mean the natural world God created or people, but the world system in rebellion against God. Fallen human nature wants absolute autonomy without consequence, but real life doesn't work like that.

There is mystery in the book of Revelation that requires humility of us. It not only speaks to our human nature, but it plainly frames a countdown to the Day of Accountability. Today’s message will take us through Revelation 15 and 16 – seven angels with seven bowls, which are the bowls of God’s wrath and are poured out over the whole world, including God’s final outpouring of wrath.

Today’s message takes us through chapters 12-14 of the book of Revelation. The stage is set for final confrontation. Although the content might be confusing, there’s no need to have it all figured out. Focus on Christ and keep the main thing the main thing.

What do the trumpets in the Book of Revelation mean? They are similar to the seals mentioned in previous chapters, but now we encounter greater impact. The increasing intensity of judgment is frightening and confusing, but God will not abandon His world.

The opening of the seals mark an era of time known in the Bible as the last days which, in God's time table, began with Christ’s first coming. The Last Days is a time of Spirit-empowered witness as God speaks on the second coming of Jesus Christ. God is active in these Last Days, keeping His people safe in Christ and attending to the earth through their prayers.

In Revelation 4 and 5 the Apostle John describes a vision he received. He was being invited into the incredible throne room of God. The language is highly symbolic and stylized in apocalyptic fashion. The images are crammed full of spiritual reality and truth, fascinating us and stretching our imaginations beyond our material limitations.

Revelation 2-3 tells of the issues seven churches were experiencing, and they are issues today’s churches face. The central lessons exposed in these two chapters can also be applied in our personal lives. Jesus shows us what we must avoid and how to stay on the right track.

The Book of Revelation is a confusing book that requires thought, prayer, humility and understanding since it is written in powerful symbolism and apocalyptic language. It was written to ready us for that day when eternity breaks through.  Jesus is coming again and the time to be ready is now. We are not to be occupied with his coming, but we are to occupy until he comes, living lives of righ...

Have you ever wanted to know how you can live your best life and leave a legacy of help and hope? Having a fruitful life will require leaving some deadwood behind. The secret to attaining success is to abide in Jesus.

How can Jesus claim to be the only way to God, the Father? He claims to have the power and authority to give God’s eternal quality of life to all who believe in him. What difference does it make?

Our current message series has been unpacking each of the “I Am” statements Jesus made. Each statement help us see how in Christ our deepest needs are met. To this point in the series, they’ve focused on how we experience God’s life in our everyday lives. Today’s “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” meets us where this life ends.

Good shepherds were known to have true grit, unfaltering courage in crisis, and were hard to intimidate. These qualities helped them guide, guard, and grow sheep for their master. Jesus calls himself the “Good Shepherd.” His posture is the opposite of self-serving self-preservation – it’s self-presentation to care for others.

In Jesus’ day, a shepherd would lay his body down in front of the cave or across the opening of the pen as a gateway or a door so the sheep would be safe and secure through the night. When it comes to spiritual life, you are safe and secure by trusting Jesus as your door.

There are circumstances in our lives that can cause great darkness and they can all be traced back to the effects of sin. Darkness is a common metaphor in the Bible for sin and refers to a way of living that takes no thought of God into account. Yet, God knows the darkness of our sin and still offers us grace and forgiveness, and desires not only repentance, but also the best for us.

“Jungle Cruise” wraps up our At The Movies series. Its plot is a story we all live. We are seekers searching in hope for more than we've known, for something to help with the hurts of life. That’s also the message of the Bible.

Today’s message kicks off a series on the I AM statements of Jesus, starting with, “I AM the Bread of Life.” Without physical nourishment our bodies die, and without spiritual nourishment our spirits do not exist. How is Jesus sufficient in meeting the deepest cries of our souls?

At The Movies: Black Widow

The movie, Courageous , tells the story of four police officers in various stages of fatherhood trying to figure out what it means to be a great dad, but its focus is on integrity.
