Week 2 of Healthy Relationships focused on the power of intentional influence, honor, and grace within the family. On Mother’s Day, we celebrated the women who shape generations through faith, prayer, consistency, and love — while also recognizing that God can work through imperfect people to create lasting impact. Healthy relationships begin with healed hearts, and the greatest gift we can give our families is pointing them toward Jesus.

What overwhelms us is effortless to God. This message reminds us that the God who holds the universe also holds our lives—and He is worthy of our trust.

In Week 3 of Awe & Wonder, guest speaker Dr. Kevin Dieckliman—who has led tours through Israel and brings deep insight into Scripture—invites us to stand in awe of God, sit in His presence, and rediscover the power of His Word.

God’s power isn’t the problem—our perspective is. In Week 2 of Awe & Wonder, we explore how a right view of God’s holiness leads to a right view of ourselves. When we truly see Him for who He is, it changes how we think, how we live, and the decisions we make. Through Jesus, we’re not only made aware—we’re made new, forgiven, and called to live differently.

In Week 1 of Awe & Wonder, we step into the space between the cross and the resurrection—a place of silence, grief, and uncertainty. But Easter reminds us: what feels like the end isn’t the end. Jesus truly died. The tomb was sealed. And still—God was at work. The empty tomb declares: • Death is defeated • Hope is alive • God keeps His promises No matter what you’re facing, what we fear most is no match for the power of God. This is the Good News—the Gospel—and it changes everything.

In the final week of Kingdom Values, we look at what it truly means to build our lives on a solid foundation. Jesus challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith—calling us to examine our hearts, live with integrity, and follow Him with obedience. From confronting hypocrisy to trusting God through prayer, choosing the narrow path, and bearing good fruit, this message reminds us that it’s not just about hearing the truth—it’s about living it. When the storms come, what your life is built on matters most.

What does it really mean to pray, “Your Kingdom come”? This week, we’re challenged to move beyond surface-level faith and align our hearts, priorities, and lives with God’s will—not our own. From how we give, to how we pray, to what we pursue, Jesus makes it clear: you can’t serve two masters. When we seek Him above all else, everything else begins to fall into place.

This week in our Kingdom Values series, we explore what it means to develop the mind of Christ instead of following the patterns of the world. In Matthew 5:20–48, Jesus teaches that true righteousness isn’t just about outward behavior, but a transformed heart that reflects God’s love, mercy, purity, and truth. From anger and forgiveness to integrity and loving our enemies, Jesus calls His followers to a deeper way of thinking and living. As we grow in the mind of Christ, we begin to reflect the character of God in every area of our lives.

This Sunday’s message explored Jesus’ call for His followers to be salt and light, influencing the world around them through lives that reflect God’s truth and goodness. When we live with distinct faith and character, our actions point others toward Him. We’re reminded that sharing our faith can start with something simple—using what we have, inviting someone, and sharing our story. Listen to the full message to discover how you can live out your Kingdom influence this week.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:1-12

As we wrap up our message series, we look at the power and IMPACT of the gospel!

The Gospel has the power to transform, renew, break chains, and set you free!

Go and be a light to the world. The gospel isn't to be kept a secret. You are to take it, share it, and share it again.

Daniel taught us a lot about standing our ground, praying in faith and even in fear, and being secure in our faith and trust in God.

BIG PRAYERS ACKNOWLEDGE: We cannot fix this on our own. We need God and God must intervene. Our confidence is in Him, not ourselves. I can’t, but God you can.

Praying Big Prayers to a Big God

HOPE MEANS GOD COMES LOOKING FOR WHAT IS LOST Hope begins when God takes the first step…Do I have faith to follow it?

When we choose Jesus and trust Him fully, we can have peace.

Celebrate The Miracles - What a day to stop pause and celebrate all that God has done in and through Journey Church this year!

God’s Promise to Every Believer Forgiveness: No sin too much for Christ’s blood. Restoration: Broken lives rebuilt by grace through faith. Eternal Life: Not just life after death, but a transformed life now.

Gratitude isn’t just a seasonal response—it’s a lifestyle. It’s how we live, worship, and invite others to encounter the goodness of God, not just on Thanksgiving week.

“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT Gratitude is a lifestyle that shapes how we see God and how we live. When we choose gratitude, it changes our perspective, our peace, and the atmosphere around us. We’ve got to move from simply feeling thankful to living thankful.

What an incredible conclusion to our message series, The Story Of Joseph. This is a powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, and restoration. If you missed any in this series, we challenge you to go back and watch all past messages.

What does it mean to live on mission? Listen to this powerful work from Lead Pastor, Mike Mozingo.

“God wants his family to be known for its love more than anything else. Jesus said our love for each other—not our doctrinal beliefs—is our greatest witness to the world. Love cannot be learned in isolation. You have to be around people—irritating, imperfect, frustrating people.” Rick Warren

Obedience. Why is it so hard to do what God tells us, when we know it's the right thing? Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?” Matthew 16:24-26 NLT

What is worship? How do we worship? How can we show worship in our daily lives?

We have been given everything we need to fulfill God’s mission. We have been empowered and we have God’s perfect truth. What will you do with what you have been entrusted with? If we want to see the power of God move among, us we must be a people of prayer, obedience, unity, and diversity.

Family Pastor, Nate Holder, brings home the final chapter to our message series, Grow Up. What is shaping your faith? Where are you in your growth? Are you doing this alone, because you don't have too!

This week we jump into James 2 Focused on outward appearance rather than inward character. We have to examine our own hearts for hidden biases or tendencies to favor some over others. Come as you are.

Grow, mature, gain, produce, become, age, advance, increase ... just a few adjectives to describe how we can and should 'GROW' in our faith. This new series will challenge, encourage, strengthen, and assess you faith.

Guest Speaker - Dr. William Lile, the ProLife Doc speaks about the value of all life. This message doesn't speak only on the value of human life, but about love and forgiveness for all.

You are called to be a missionary. In your work, home, and everywhere you go ... you are not alone in this mission.
