Building on what we started last week, we want to continue the discussion about racial inequality in our world. Come and join us as we hear stories of those who have experienced bias and what they are asking all of us as a faith family to do about it…for this generation and the next.
The Invisible Knapsack
LifeJourney Church is called to be an advocate for social justice in this world. But what does social justice in 21st century America look like? We’ll take a unique, participatory approach to highlight some possible first steps.
When Jesus Met Caesar
As Christians began to spread out across the Roman Empire in the first century, the message they shared proved very provocative. The “powers-that-be” were furious. Why? What was so provocative about the early Christian message – and what can we learn from their example for our lives today?
Furnace Of Fire
You’ve probably heard about it – one of the most famous stories in the Bible – the story of three Israelites who get thrown into a fiery furnace. Embedded in the story are powerful lessons for how we can best face the fiery trials of our lives. Don’t sit home moping. Get your faith on!
Becoming Your Best You
Each one of us has the capacity to become something uniquely beautiful. So how’s it going? Do you feel you’re living into your potential? This Sunday we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that offers profound insight about how each of us can become the most beautiful version of ourselves.
Empathy
Psychologists tell us that the ability to feel empathy is one of the greatest signs of emotional health and wholeness. The Bible tells us it is also one of the greatest signs of spiritual wellness. This week we’ll ask what it looks like to live with empathy, using the ancient book of Leviticus as our guide.
Throwing Stones
When we have been wronged, it can consume us until it spirals out of control. What was once a small incident, can become bigger than a mountain. This Sunday, we’ll look at how Jesus suggests we deal with this so that we can have more peace in our lives.
Finding Balance In Life
With all that’s going on around us – relentless demands, constant media bombardment – it can be hard to maintain a healthy balance in life. This Sunday, as we continue our study of the book of Leviticus, we’ll look at three powerful, practical ancient principles that can help us find better balance in life.
Break Every Chain!
There are a ton of commandments in the Bible. Some we keep; others we don’t. No living Christian believes every rule in the Bible is binding. Have you ever wondered why? How do we pick and choose? This week we’ll look at some of the commandments in the book of Leviticus (including the infamous passage prohibiting “men from lying with men”). We’ll ask: What should we make of these rules? What did Jesus make of them? You may be very surprised at Jesus’ answer!
Restricted Access
In Old Testament times, people often feared to enter the presence of God. Many of us still feel trapped in that way of thinking. Drawing close to God seems presumptuous–maybe even scary. So how does God really feel about us? How close should we dare to draw to God? This week we’ll challenge ourselves to let go of fear and embrace genuine intimacy with God.
Riding The Waves With God
There’s nothing better than belonging – being part of vibrant community of people who love and welcome us, where “everybody’s glad you came,” and where we can do great things together! This Sunday we’ll celebrate the 24th Anniversary of the congregation that is LifeJourney Church – remembering the past and exploring what the future holds!
Not Good Enough
Have you ever been told you’re not good enough? Have you ever been excluded from the “in crowd” cause you don’t measure up? Have you ever been tempted to do that to others? This Sunday we’ll explore what both Moses and Jesus had to say about “
The Ick Of Guilt
To live is to mess up. To mess up is to feel guilt. In fact, sometimes we mess up so bad, guilt gets all over us like sweat on a humid day. Then what? How should a thoughtful person deal with guilt? That’s what we’re going to talk about this Sunday, as we continue our new sermon series called “Hello, Leviticus!”
