Christ Journey Church

People can get far from God. We can get lost from the sense of His presence and blessing in our lives. We can get lost like a sheep from its flock – we can also get found. Are there things making you feel far from God today?

As we get to know God, what do we get out of it? What do we learn? We learn God cares for us like a good shepherd cares for a flock, and we discover He’s on our side. Everyone who truly gets to know God will have reason to say, “Wow! Thank you!” The God who exists beyond time and space has involved himself within time and space because he cares. Praise the Lord!

This message marks our first day back at our physical spaces after a long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are entering with thanksgiving and praise! We are saying ‘Thank you’ to God for who He is and His faithfulness! It’s not only the right thing to do, but did you know it’s also very good for you? Giving thanks is a helpful and essential discipline for your spirit and mind.

You are made in God’s image. That means you are created to become all God has in mind for you! God started a good work of new life in you and is committed to finishing the job well. He is faithful; he will do it! Do you want him to show up and do His amazing life changing work in your life?

How would Jesus succeed through suffering even on the cross? How are we to succeed through suffering in our lives? The answer is by having spiritual oneness with God. No one is out of the reach of God’s love. It is His desire that we would be close to Him. Remaining faithful to the Father will give us what we need when trials come.

God provides for us in spiritual battles. When we face temptation and forces of evil, we can’t forget God has been faithful in equipping us to face the challenge. How do you face the challenges when they come? If no temptation has seized us except what is common to man, and we know God is faithful, then He will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. But when we are tempted, God will also p...

We don’t always see it or feel it, but God is faithful. He is constant, steadfast, trustworthy and true. It is his essence to be faithful. Are you living in fellowship with him, forgiven of your sin? Wait until you see what this faithful God has in store for you!

While Jesus lived on earth, he laid the blueprint of how to witness. As his followers today, his power extends to us thanks to the Holy Spirit. We are not alone in sharing the Good News nor do we have to do it in our own strength. The Holy Spirit living in us equips and empowers us to do the great work of telling all we can of what Jesus has done.

God’s Word speaks greatly into the topic of generosity. In fact, we were created not only in His image, but also with the responsibility of stewarding His good creation. Unfortunately, sin has driven a wedge between man and God resulting in hardened hearts and materialistic people. Materialism is the act of giving our heart’s affection over to the things of this world rather than God; but generosi...

The command Jesus gives in Matthew 28:19 is known as The Great Commission. The command for Christ followers to “go and make disciples.” Disciple, in its simplest form, means a “learner of Christ.” We’re supposed to do this “as we go” in life, in our coming and going. What could it look like for you? Let’s start with having a unified understanding of what discipleship means.

Over the next four weeks of this series, we are focusing on refining our E.D.G.E. We will dive deep into the topics of Evangelism, Discipleship, Generosity, and Empowerment. It’s always good to review these practices so as not to forget that as Christians, we’re meant to give something different to the world.

An infinite perspective requires faith beyond the black and white of things. The invitation today is to pause and think about the ways God activates His infinite hope in us and then makes us the evidence of infinite hope for others. God brings His infinite hope into clarity when we taste a bit of it through each other.

Today we’re gonna explore what is arguably the most phenomenal verse in the Bible. That’s quite a claim, isn’t? This verse is a declaration of infinite hope, and it is found in the Book of Romans, chapter 8, verse 28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

How are you feeling today? Disappointed? Frustrated? Hurt? If you or someone you know and care about can relate, today’s message will be of help. God has given us tools for facing times like these. Our current series is about learning them, applying them, and finding yourself reinvigorated through the power of God’s encouragement for us.

Do you love surprises? In this season of quarantine, maybe you’ve been surprised by God in some way. As we start our new series, Infinite Hope, we open taking a look at a story in Acts 16 that is full of surprises– some are puzzling and other times bewildering, but this chapter helps us see how to follow God and remain faithful.

The last installment of our current series brings us into the final horseman of the Apocalypse, the one riding on the Pale Horse. According to the Scriptures, the rider was named Death and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, famine, plague, and by the beasts of the earth. Although scary topics to talk about, by putting our fa...

Part three of our current series takes us into the meaning of The Black Horse of the Apocalypse. It represents the undoing and unraveling of the basics of life – the ability to put food on the table and afford the cost of living. How much anxiety are you experiencing during the current crisis?

Part Two of our current series unveils the red horse of the Apocalypse. According to the Scriptures, its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and make men slay each other. It sounds relevant, doesn’t it? The red horse symbolizes violence, and not just globally, but also at the domestic level. Furthermore, another category that seems to fit the red horse is the thirst for revenge and...

In this series, we are taking a look through the eyes of the Apostle John and his vision of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse from the book of Revelation. The horsemen riding in symbolize disasters unleashed in the world because of sin and rebellion of humanity against God. In other words, it’s an unveiling of the consequences of human sin. Today we focus our attention on The White Horse represe...

The institutional church isn’t the bridge to life; God’s people are. If you're a believer, you’re now living your life in the full expression and experience of God, so grow into someone others can trust. There is only one of you and you have something to offer that no one else can.

Adulting is one of those things you will learn by doing. The chaos, complications, and challenges that come with it will develop your adult self. We will always be growing up in life, and the same is true with our spiritual growth. Can you see yourself being a spiritual parent or even grandparent?

What’s the difference between a spiritual adult and a spiritual parent? Spiritual parents give life to others by helping them grow in their faith. Who would God like you to reach?

Our message for today, Compassion in Action, takes a pause from our current series in order to address the situation we are seeing in mainstream media over the last few weeks. We are grateful to be joined by Pastor Eddy Gervais, Senior Pastor of Community Christian Church in Miami Gardens, FL. He will be answering questions submitted by Christ Journeyers on issues of race, justice, and politics.

We are starting a brand new series titled, Spiritual Adulting . Today we consider what it means to be all grown up. What does it mean to be a human adult? The answer is complicated. Society tries to define it in some areas, but how can you know as a Christ Follower that you are spiritually grown up?

Adolescence — it’s that period of transition between childhood and adulthood. Some say it’s the time with something to offend everyone. Can you relate? It can be a time of training, trial, testing, and turbulence. So if biological adolescence prepares us for the challenges of biological adulthood, then how does spiritual adolescence prepare us for spiritual adulthood?
