Coming Alive

As we embark on the second half of 2026, I would like us to spend sometime reflecting upon the essential practices of our faith. Our theme as we began the year was standing firm. This is a wonderful time of the year to ask ourselves what that looks like. So over the next few weeks we will look at some foundational and essential practices that need to be a regular part of our lives of faith as we l...

This Sunday we gather to explore a conversation on ‘eldering’ -how to build up each other generationally.

On this Father's day, we want us to reflect on how God's preferred relationship with us is father. And no one displayed that so well than Jesus did.

Can you imagine a google maps kind of thing for your whole life? It is more like what it looks to be led by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit take control of our whole lives.

Holy Spirit Enables us to Live Act and Love like Jesus today.

To be continuously guided, empowered, and controlled by the Holy Spirit, is not a one-time event, it is an ongoing, daily surrender of your will to God's influence.

This Sunday we gather, to join in the disciples in celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit the breath of God.

It seems that when God desires to move in a transformative way around the world, he invites a person or a community. Matthew 9:35-38 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, li...

Jesus asks Peter to do three things: feed my lambs, take care of my sheep, and feed my sheep.

We are all on some kind of road in life. Maybe it is a joyous road. Maybe for someone here it has been a tough road and even tougher it has been for a long time and you quite do not know how this ends. For someone else you are on a tough road at work...you cannot quite tell how things will work out. For someone else you are on a tough road in your family...I cannot even name them all...but we are...

Welcome to this week's conversation. We keep on exploring the resurrection stories and how they shape and form us.

We meet the disciples at one of their lowest points. Their worlds had just been turned upside down. It had been one long weekend. One moment on Thursday evening they are having a wonderful passover meal with Jesus, nest he is being arrested and before a day is over he has been scourged, condemned to die, crucified, dead and buried. This is not a light matter and we can begin to empathise with what...

On this episode, we explore the story of Mary Magdalene through the scripture in John. Her faithfulness and witness to the Christ. Mary Magdalene is far more than a side character in the story of Jesus, she is a symbol of relational love, wisdom, leadership and the feminine dimension of faith and a core witness and leader.

Beloved friends, Christ is risen, He is risen indeed. Resurrection Sunday is about the power of God triumphing over all that is death and destruction. Resurrection Sunday is about the power of God breaking the hold of death and destruction so life can burst forth!

Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10

Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Through the life of Jesus we see him choosing to offer Mercy to many undeserving people, some of whom if they were within my circle i’m not very sure if that would have been my natural response...

Todays beatitude places us right in the midst of all that is broken around us and reminds us that our ache and longing for a whole and repaired world is a place where God meets us! And as we are met by God we rise up and engage the world in loving and healing ways.

Today’s Beatitude is Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” NRSV. The meek? Really? Who even uses that word? To our ear, Matthew 5:5 sounds ridiculous and naive. At the top of a list of things Jesus said that we don’t really believe I would place the third beatitude. It is those that wield their power that will take possession over land and nations. Society celebrates t...

This beatitude is simply a beatitude of grief. A radical invitation to embrace grief and mourning in a world that dismisses them. A beatitude that cautions us that there is no deep joy without having faced the depths of our griefs and sorrows. This is a beatitude that tells us that the happy lives bombarding us daily are not all that happy. Because to be truly happy we have to allow for the griefs...

Today we are beginning a new series that is going to carry us through the lenten season: shaped by the beatitudes.

 To stand firm is to see ourselves primarily as disciples of Jesus.

So today in our standing firm conversation we will look at standing firm in generosity. Coming together as a church and offering our unique gift to the world...That many might be reconnected to a life of significance.

There are two foundational things that should be part of your time with God. However your time should include prayer and the Scriptures. In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. Mark 1:35

Welcome to JourneyFamily. A community that seeks to see people and our world coming fully alive in the love of God as modelled by Jesus.
