Christ Journey Church

The Creed is a summary statement of what the Apostles, Christ’s earliest followers, believed and taught. “I believe in the resurrection of the body” is the statement we’re exploring in today’s message. It begs the question, what happens when we die? ChristJourney.org

Forgiveness may be the most extraordinarily difficult act any one of us may ever experience in our lives. Forgiveness is essential for life. We need it like we need breath in our lungs. Yet, on the other hand, forgiveness also confronts our faith and forces us ask ourselves: do I really believe in this God who claims to wholly forgive me and then calls me to do the same with others? ChristJourney....

What comes to mind when you hear the word Catholic ? What about the word Saint ? Both words are much misunderstood in our culture, but they were part of the original language of the Apostles’ Creed. So what did those words mean in the Apostles’ teaching? ChristJourney.org

The next section of the Apostles’ Creed we’re looking at is the belief in the Holy Spirit. He is God’s power source available to every believer in Christ who wants to see their lives transformed, but sometimes when people think of the Holy Spirit they think of something spectacular – with signs, speaking in tongues, or doing weird things. So what does a belief in the Holy Spirit really mean? Chris...

“Don’t judge me.” How many times have you used that phrase? We have a thing about judging, don’t we? As we continue looking at the Apostles’ Creed, this is probably the most unpopular topic we will address, but judgment is part of the Christian faith, so what is it all really about? ChristJourney.org

God’s Spirit makes us more aware of circumstances. Whether it’s the shape our world is in or the problems we’re personally facing, there’s a reason the Holy Spirit make us aware of all this, and that’s to help redeem and restore us. He meets us in the mess and then lifts us up to know victory. ChristJourney.org

Foundations matter in buildings and in life. The ideas and facts you build your life matter. As we continue to explore the Apostles’ Creed, we are looking at the most important belief foundational to the Christian faith – the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  ChristJourney.org

In this series we’re looking at the core beliefs the earliest followers of Jesus held and taught. The statement of the Apostles’ Creed we’re looking at today is about a warrior who died in combat – Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.  ChristJourney.org

The second article of the Apostles’ Creed is a statement of belief in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son. There is no Christianity without Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ – trusting him, knowing him, following him, experiencing him as Savior and Lord.  ChristJourney.org

The first part of our message series, I Believe, introduces us to the timeless, essential statements of the Apostles’ Creed. It contains the core teachings of Jesus’ 12 disciples as they shared the Good News. This creed holds great value for the church, and perhaps now more than ever, in a culture moving at the speed of technology. Take a look. ChristJourney.org

Our world knows about edge. Our church in many ways is a church on the edge. Jesus never told his disciples that following him was a way to play it safe in life. On the contrary, he said His was the way of risk. So as we look ahead to a new ministry year, Christ Journey’s vision is, in a word, EDGE. ChristJourney.org

What is God's perspective on work? We work to live, but a man's life does not consist on the abundance of possessions. Work doesn't find its value simply in providing an ability to acquire more stuff – there is another, much more rich dimension to our work. ChristJourney.org

“Air Cover” usually means protection given by armed aircraft in war situations. God does the same with us as we face our own battles. In fact, the Apostle Paul uses military language to refer to the arsenal each of us has access to in order to protect ourselves. ChristJourney.org

What happens growing up in our families is very important. It’s the place where we learn what “normal” is. But did you know God established that for us first? He is the originator of a healthy rhythm of life, work and rest for families. In the Bible he shows us what that looks like.  ChristJourney.org

There’s an amazing promise in the Bible that states God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us. Did you know God means that for you, even if you don’t know Him or have been away from Him? He has surprises for you, ones you may have been waiting to hear for a long time. ChristJourney.org

Knowledge helps you think better, but wisdom helps you choose better. Would you agree? To attain knowledge we read books, conduct research and attend educational institutions. But for wisdom, we have to go to God. He lets our faith be tested through situations that create opportunity to apply wisdom, pass the tests, and be lifted higher! What are those situations for you? What's your next step? Ch...

Our movie today is a testimony to how God works for good even in the bad. “I Can Only Imagine” tells the story behind the MercyMe song that topped both Christian and mainstream music charts. The film follows the life of Bart Millard who faces abandonment from his mother, abuse from his father, and a crushed football career dream that ultimately leads him down the path of music. Even when all seeme...

Do you ever wish you could turn back time? What would you do… or undo? The desire to turn back time is a very human feeling and it’s also the storyline of today’s featured movie, Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame. Check out the helpful truth can we learn from this film. ChristJourney.org

We’re ‘At the Movies” this month, and this series is designed to help you talk about your faith using some of the great visual stories of our culture. One of the greatest Disney films of all time is our featured movie today – “The Lion King.” ChristJourney.org

We always look forward to our “At The Movies” message series. It’s a time when we get to show snippets of popular films and our pastors create a helpful message based on themes from the movies. We kick off the series with Disney’s Christopher Robin.  ChristJourney.org

This message wraps up our series, Unstuck. The Israelites have completed every step God gave them and they finally find themselves unstuck. They are ready for new future, but there’s one challenge left. Through it God wants them to know failure is not fatal and fear is not final. He wants to let you know the same. ChristJourney.org

Every now and then, certain moments happen in our lives when one season ends and a new one begins, and our lives change forever. Graduations, weddings, funerals, etc. Those are times when we need to hear words of encouragement, love, and support. But we also need to be reminded that God will be with us through it no matter what. ChristJourney.org

Our series is Unstuck and we’re learning how God helps people get unstuck in life. There are times, even seasons in life where we get stuck or feel stalled. Somehow we can be busy but going nowhere fast. Still, it’s reassuring to know God is always on the move. We hope this message will show you the next step to take to get unstuck. ChristJourney.org

God’s plan for each of us is to be His instrument to help others, those close to us and those we may not know. The people we care about matter for than our stuff. What would you do for them? Today’s story takes us into the heroic actions of Rahab, a prostitute who somehow knew God’s judgement on Jericho was coming. She risked greatly trying to help her loved ones be spared. ChristJourney.org 

What do you do when you’re stuck on your spiritual journey? That’s where Israel has been as we open the story of Joshua. They’ve been stuck in the wilderness for 40 years on a journey that could have been made in 12 days. Unbelief, rebellion and disobedience to God left them wandering for decades – an entire generation. Where are you stuck today? How did you get stuck? How can you get unstuck? Chr...
