What do you do with the sour moments of life? Do you add more bitterness to what you’re experiencing or are you intentional about looking for a sweetener? Life may give us lemons, but God is the official sweetener to turn everything around.

Turning Sour Moments into Sweet Memories

We all need to stop from time to time, take stock of where we are, where we're going, and what's ultimately ahead. If we want to live well, we must understand that God’s paths get us where we want to go. Along the way we will want to quit, but we must remember that none of us are beyond the reach of God’s forgiving grace and faithfulness. Nothing is too hard for God.

Not today. Tomorrow works better

In a relationship, how do you keep love alive? You step out of yourself and speak their language. In Hosea, we see that God also speaks love language. He is seeking connection in a fresh way with his people.

Love Language

What do you do when you find yourself in a relationship with someone whose choices, behavior and life are a dead end, yet you care deeply for them? This is the hellish place where we find God in the book of Hosea. Every couple has troubles, hardships, obstacles and conflicts. Counselors say deeper intimacy waits just the other side of conflict, but we have to learn how to get there.

Not Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Freedom isn’t free. It costs something to have it. It costs something to keep it. And when you lose it, it costs something to get it back. In Hosea’s story we see how human freedom gets hijacked by sin, and how God sets in motion His plan of redemption to restore freedom and set right what sin makes wrong.

Freedom Isn’t Free

What do you do with your anger? Some of us will vent it while others stuff it in suppression. Either has consequences that may not be helpful in the long run. But there is a way to be angry and still be pleasing to God – a way to harness the energy of anger to serve a higher cause, a godly one.

What To Do With Your Anger

God loves us like a father and shows us what a father’s love can be like. He compares his experience with Israel to what a father feels – both tender memories and some very tough struggles. Part of our growth challenge may be believing God loves us like that.

Fathering

100% of all couples have trouble. What are you going to do when trouble comes? As we look at the story of Hosea, we learn that it’s God who is going through the pain of rejection from His beloved, Israel. She prefers the company of false gods to the real thing, but God has a marriage dream for his people with him that is larger than their infidelity.

When The Vow Breaks

Some of life’s greatest joys happen in family – but also some of its deepest pains, hurts and heartaches. In this series, we will work through the challenging book of Hosea to discover hope in seemingly hopeless places.

What About the Kids?

Happy 95th birthday, Christ Journey Church! We have a God-given vision and a God-sized dream. At 95, we are facing a new adventure doing hybrid church, requiring us to learn new skills. How might God want to shape us to stay on mission in this new place?

95 Years Young!

Without threats there would be no need for security. Yet no security device or system is 100% fool-proof. Spiritually, we also have a need for security. We face spiritual threats and have to guard ourselves against our enemy, the devil. How do we protect our hearts?

The People’s Security

The most difficult part of a prayer life is starting one. As we ask, we learn what it means to give voice to our faith, which God loves. It is a conversation that grows from trust and in love and builds confidence in Him. The more we do it, the closer we draw near to God and God to us.

When God‘s People Pray

Any arena of responsibility becomes practice for us to let God do more – more for us, in us, and through us. Everything requires practice and development. In today’s message, we see this exemplified by Deborah, one of the 12 Judges of Israel. We’ll see how she was  much more than a Judge; she was a prophet, a strategist, a counselor, and even a mother.

Until I...Arose!

Through faith in Jesus as God’s Christ, we become children of God. Being a Christian isn’t a matter of pledging allegiance to a set of doctrines or religious rules and rituals. In fact, when we trust Jesus Christ, God is able to do something quite amazing through our lives!

The People’s Symphony

Imagine if before you start your day you choose to forgive every offense before it ever happened. When we live out of God's DNA in us, it’s possible to live our days like that. As children of God, his traits are passed on to us, therefore we have victory over sin and love for others.
