Some words make us uncomfortable. Obedience. Discipline. We tend to treat them like dirty words, but Scripture shows they are the very things that expose what it really costs to follow Jesus. This Sunday, Executive Pastor Mike kicked off our brand-new series, Dirty Words, with the claim: what we give up for Christ is small […]

People are bringing their biggest questions about identity, morality, purpose, faith, and crisis to AI, instead of to parents, pastors, and trusted loved ones. In the final week of our U&AI series, Pastor Matt asked: what is that doing to us, and to how we see God? When answers come fast and predictable, it’s easy […]

Pastor Matt Dawson discusses the cultural, ethical, and spiritual considerations we should weigh when using AI — along with the forces influencing AI’s development.  

Pastor Matt reveals today in our U & AI series, what he believes is the most important issue for us as it relates to AI.

Pastor Matt starts a new series called U & AI where he discusses our relationship with AI, how people are engaging with it, how it is being used in our culture, and how it is affecting us. This Sunday, he lays the foundation of how we got here and why it matters.

Today as we wrap up our series “Church Outside The Walls”, Executive Pastor Mike Sellers interviews our short term missionaries on their experiences and testimonies from the mission field. He also shares how we can take the next step into missions. 

Pastor Jennifer Williams, from the Cornelius Church of God, joins us today in our series Church Outside the Walls. She shares Nehemiah 3, reminding us that God is calling us to a place outside our walls, to let people know God loves them.  

Today Pastor Andrew Ruth from Lake Forest Church describes to us what church looks like outside our walls. “Mission isn’t just part of Church. The Church is part of the mission. The Church of Jesus exists to fulfill the mission of God.”

We believe we cannot make a significant change in the kingdom of God as a church all by ourselves. Change comes from all the churches in our area that proclaim the name of Christ. In our new series “Church Outside The Walls,” we invite pastors from our local area to share with us messages of […]

Pastor Matt is closing out The Messy Adventure series by discussing what happens when parenting roles reverse. Often the biggest tension in this situation arises when each side has a different perspective on what is most important: safety vs. dignity and autonomy. Our parents don’t want to be managed; they want to be honored — […]

This week in our series The Messy Adventure, we welcome back Pastor Don as he walks us through the phases of parenting. He reminds us that “we as parents spend our lives wolf-proofing our pasture. God, in His sovereignty, spent His parenting time preparing us to be among the wolves. So that we could always […]

This Sunday we start a new parenting series called The Messy Adventure. Pastor Matt talks about creating a hands on – intentional, interdependent counterculture where we are informed, engaged, and in charge.

At Journey Church, we value being asked questions. In this series you were asked to submit questions. This week Pastor Matt answers them and teaches us how to respond from a position of humility and a surrendering to the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Matt addresses the blurred boundaries culture has created on sexual immorality. When dealing with anything tied to sexual immorality, we need to have a standard by which to measure that is unchanging. And we need to acknowledge the root of why people don’t want to live to that standard. Absolute truth (Word of God) […]

What if the thing we’ve been calling freedom is actually making us lonely? In week two of the Influenced series, Pastor Chris shares with us how our culture preaches self reliance, but Jesus teaches the value of a shared life.

Pastor Matt shares how modern spiritualism came to be and how the church responds by forming you, grounding you, and sending you.

Pastor Matt concludes the Bible Misconceptions series with the idea that “The Bible isn’t a resource to support what we believe – it’s the authority that forms who we become.”

Join us while we continue our series Bible Misconceptions where Pastor Justin shares with us a discussion on affirmation vs. transformation.

This week we started a new series called “Bible Misconceptions”. Pastor Mike walked us through what it looks like when we really pursue His will over what we perceive as happiness. Watch the video here.

We wrap our series “Built To Last”. This week we looked at marriages who have created expectations from the beginning only to be met with disappointment from our belief that we are supposed to be the source of love. Pastor Matt unpacks the truth of relying on Christ for our walk within the context of […]

Join us as we discover how God uses life’s challenges, His truth, and His purpose to shape us into lasting faith. Come and grow as we explore the difference between chasing happiness and trusting God’s will–finding true joy through Him.

All of us are carrying spiritual questions we don’t know how to answer. It can’t be that easy… can it? Does it actually matter who Jesus claimed to be? Why does following Jesus feel so hard? Can I actually trust this book? Do I really even need a local church? This spring at Journey, we’re […]

Every week we turn to the scriptures as our source of truth and authority; But, can we really trust this book? This week Pastor Matt Dawson answers this question by revealing how the scriptures came to be what it is today- a library of books in which is inspired and God-breathed through its writers over […]
