Story of Bartimaeus

They needed new hearts that could truly respond to God’s love and grace with grateful devotion. Our commitment matters but its not the highest value.

The wall was not the destination but the training wheels to get to rebuilding the brokenness in people's lives.

What can we do about the state of disrepair in our lives and the world around us? It is a simple story that holds our hands and walks us into this big and profound question

In this episode we explore Nehemiah Chapter 5; 1-13.

In this episode, we look at an aspect of Nehemiah that makes it a wonderful story so that we can see what he models for us to emulate.

In this episode, we reflect on Nehemiah 2:1-10.

We live in a world beset by many troubles and afflictions and therefore we ask who are we to be? What are we to do? I believe that is the reason why we have this story.

We are embarking on an invitation, over the next weeks what it looks like, for us to become a people actively and intentionally pursuing the work of creating, making, building, and rebuilding goodness in our world -in our homes & families, when we are in business. An exploration into the story of Nehemiah.

The greatest experience we can draw out of being with the Scriptures is an encounter with the living God. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been reflecting on what to do with the Scriptures. Today as we wrap up, we will take a few minutes to read and reflect together. To actually be with the Scriptures.

In this episode, Pst Joey guides us on what it would look like to experience the scriptures as the filter through which we see things.

Today an invitation for us to take the Scriptures into our lives in such a way that they are constantly forming the consciousness of Jesus in us! How is your relationship to the scriptures? Do you feel like you are interacting with a strange text? Or is it a familiar-friendly text? Do you make an effort to expose yourself to the text?

Pressure is always around in the world we live in - There is not a single day that goes by that some amount of pressure is applied to you. Jesus' vision for our lives is that they would be grounded, deeply rooted in his love. Key Reference Text: Matthew 7:24-27

These are complex times and they are a burden to humanity, God’s people. To notice these things is to see what Jesus sees...crowds harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. We live in a city that is longing for the kind of wholeness that can come about being in connection to the shepherd Jesus, who is the life and the healing that God brings about. Key Text: Matthew 9:35-38

When it comes to Christian Spirituality, there is a lot to talk about. But what is the real treasure? What does it look to grab a hold of the treasure and live an enriched life as a result of it!

In moments of great instability, How are we to find our grounding? So we are embarking on a conversation themed: CALLED TO THE WORK. This is about reflecting on our unique calling as a church, as Journey ICC and our place in it. Who are we as Journey ICC and what are we doing here?

A conversation to awaken us to the presence of a helper, a friend, always with us, the Holy Spirit.

In this episode we get to reflect on the story of Moses and the Israelites and draw parallels to our daily lives, to awaken us to a deepening trust in God.

We are to be a presence that takes all that we are and have and stewards it to the service and blessing of one another around us and beyond.
