Sermons from LifeJourney Church

Have you ever talked to someone who rejected (or doubted) the existence of God? Maybe you find yourself in such a place. What are the factors that cause folks to doubt God? And what can we say to help them in that struggle? That's our topic for this Sunday. Join us for a thought-provoking sermon.

Do you ever feel underpowered? Do you find yourself frustrated with all kinds of things you can't change about yourself, others, or in the circumstances around you? The Bible teaches we have a power source that's powerful beyond our wildest imagination. It's called the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the nature of that power? And how can we tap into it? That's what we'll discuss this Sunday in the third installment of our in-depth study of the Holy Spirit.

This Sunday we will launch an in-depth study of the so-called Third Person of the Trinity, i.e., the Holy Spirit. We'll begin by asking some basic questions like: Who or what is the Holy Spirit? How do I receive the Holy Spirit? And most importantly, why should I care? What's the big deal?

It's a question any thoughtful believer must ask. So this Sunday we will, as we wrap up our sermon series on "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life." We will explore questions like: Does there really need to be a place like Hell? If so, why does it need to be a place of torture? And why would God keep people there forever and ever with no hope? You may be surprised by what the Bible says about these questions. Put on your thinking cap and join us on Sunday.

On Sunday Pastor Jeff will share the second installment in a new sermon series called "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life." This week we'll explore the concept of "spiritual warfare," asking questions like: What is it? Should thoughtful people believe it? And if so, how can it affect my everyday life?

Special Guest Speaker, Rev. David Radcliff, Executive Director of New Community Project, speaks to us about how our insatiable human appetite for stuff of all kinds threatens not only our souls, but the viability of life on earth. Will we continue to pursue me/more/now or can we reorient ourselves to us/enough/tomorrow, using God's creation as our guide?

This week we launch into a new sermon series called "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life" in which we'll explore concepts like Satan, sin, demons, and hell, asking: As thoughtful 21st century people, what should we believe about these subjects? We'll start this week by wrestling with the Biblical concept of Satan and demons. Do they really exist? If so, how and why -- and what does that mean for us?

Join us this week for our Easter Celebration as we remind ourselves what Jesus' resurrection means for us now and challenge ourselves to live in that power and awareness.

Join us this week for our Palm Sunday Celebration, including our Children's Palm Parade and a powerful, practical life lesson drawn from the Palm Sunday Scriptures. If you've ever found your life to be confusing and wondered how to find God's will in all the chaos, this Sunday is for you!

This Sunday is the final installment in our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them -- 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus." In this final installment, we're going to explore the single greatest source of conflict between Jesus and the religious authorities of his time, and in the process discover a final critical core characteristic that ought to characterize all who follow Jesus.

On Sunday we resume our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them -- 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus." This week we'll tackle the topic of money and material possessions, as we grapple with one of life's most important questions: How much is enough? As followers of Jesus, how should we relate to money and material possessions?

Last Sunday we saw how passionate Jesus was about helping, defending, and advocating for those who are most vulnerable and how he calls us to do the same. It’s not enough to hear a good message and agree with it. James 1:22 says, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” So during this Sunday's sermon time, three different expert guest speakers are going to share practical insights that will help us be more effective advocates for those who are marginalized -- so we can live the words of Jesus!

Do you know what the Bible says is the ultimate mark of authentic spirituality? Do you have it? And why is it so important? Those are the questions we'll explore this Sunday as we continue our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them: 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus."

Sunday is the fifth installment in our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them: 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus." This week we'll dig into what Jesus taught about the power of faith, exploring questions like: What is faith? How does it work? And is it really true that if I just have enough faith, anything can happen?
