#322 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 You're Not Alone in your suffering!

#322 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 You're Not Alone in your suffering!

Devotional 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16: You're Not Alone! Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself in bustling Thessalonica (modern-day Thessaloniki, Greece) around 50 AD. You've just embraced the teachings of a man named Jesus, a radical rabbi crucified a few years back in Judea (a hilly region south of Galilee, think of it like Judea being the state and Jerusalem being the capital). This new faith is turning your world upside down, and not everyone's happy about it. Acts 17 recounts how Paul and his companions, Silas and Timothy, brought the gospel to Thessalonica. Initially, many Jews were receptive, but soon opposition flared. Acts tells us some Jews even incited a riot, dragging Jason, a new believer, before the city officials (Acts 17:5-9). 🐰Rabbit Trail: Judea, a Roman province at the time, was roughly the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Jerusalem, the holiest city for Jews, was located within Judea, but wasn't the entire region. Now, back to you in Thessalonica. You're facing similar hostility for your newfound faith. It's confusing and scary. Finding Strength in Suffering: In 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16, Paul writes to these fledgling believers: "For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and who drove us out. They please neither God nor man, but oppose everyone— they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. This is why they keep filling up the measure of their sin. But wrath has come upon them at last." (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16)   Here, Paul offers comfort by connecting their suffering to something far bigger: the persecution Jesus and the early church in Judea faced. He's essentially saying, "You're not alone. Even the most respected believers—the ones who walked with Jesus—faced opposition." QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO CHEW ON AND DISCUSS: 1) How does Paul's message help the Thessalonian believers navigate their suffering? 2) Can you think of a time when you faced opposition for your faith? How did it make you feel? How did you navigate it? 3) The passage mentions "filling up the measure of their sin." What do you think this means? Discussion Starter for your Journey Group: Think about a time when you witnessed someone facing opposition for their beliefs (religious or otherwise). How did you react? What could you have done differently? Applying the Message Today: Just like the early church, Christians today may face opposition for their beliefs. Here are some ways to navigate this: 1) Remember, you're in good company. Many who have walked this path before you faced opposition. 2) Seek support from a faith community. Surrounding yourself with like-minded believers can provide strength and encouragement. 3) Live out your faith authentically. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense – let your actions demonstrate the positive impact your faith has on your life. Feeling a little lost on this faith journey? Don't wander alone! We have amazing journey groups where you can connect with others and explore your faith together. Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to learn more or get plugged into a group. It'll be like finding a comfy couch on this sometimes-bumpy road of faith (and way less dusty than those ancient roads in Judea!) #dailybiblepodcast #dailybiblereading #jesusjourney #thessalonians #1thessalonians #apostlepaul #followjesus #biblepodcast
#21 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13 Should Preachers Get PAID or Support Themselves?
28:53

#21 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13 Should Preachers Get PAID or Support Themselves?

A Mother's Love, a Servant's Heart (1 Thessalonians 2:7-13) Setting the Scene: Imagine a bustling marketplace in the ancient city of Thessalonica. Tents line the dusty streets, sheltering merchants and their wares. Among them, amidst the clamor and commotion, stands Paul, the apostle. But unlike the other vendors, Paul isn't peddling sandals or spices. He's there to share something far more valuable: the Good News of Jesus Christ. However, Paul and his companions, Silas and Timothy, aren't a burden on the young Thessalonian believers. In 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13, Paul writes to remind them of how they "worked night and day" (v. 9) to support themselves while preaching the gospel. A Mother's Tenderness, a Servant's Heart: In verses 7-8, Paul paints a beautiful picture of his ministry: “But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother tenderly caring for her own children. So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.”   Paul's words here are powerful and poignant. He compares himself and his companions to a nursing mother, highlighting the tenderness and selflessness of their ministry. They could have easily taken advantage of the Thessalonians' hospitality and demanded financial support. Instead, they chose to serve humbly, working hard to meet their own needs. Beyond the Tentmaker Label: A Craftsman of Faith There's a popular image of Paul as a simple tentmaker, stitching together canvas to make a living. But the reality is likely more nuanced. The Greek word used for Paul's trade, "skenopoios," can refer to someone who works with a variety of textiles, not just tents. Perhaps Paul was a skilled leatherworker, a weaver, or even a "fix-it" person for all things cloth. The important takeaway isn't whether Paul sewed tents, but his commitment to self-sufficiency. He refused to be a financial burden on the fledgling church, and his work ethic serves as an inspiration. Modern-Day Applications: Nurturing the Faith of Others How can we, as modern-day Christians, apply this passage to our lives? Here are a few thoughts: - Gentleness and Patience: In our interactions with others, let us strive to be gentle and patient, especially with those who may be struggling with their faith. - Selfless Service: Look for opportunities to serve others without expecting anything in return. Whether it's volunteering at a local charity or simply offering a listening ear to a friend, let us be willing to give of ourselves. - Nurturing New Believers: If you know someone who is new to the faith, take the time to mentor and disciple them. Share your knowledge and experience, and be patient as they grow in their understanding of God's Word. - Balancing Ministry and Work: Just like Paul, we can strive to be financially responsible. We should support our local church, but ideally, our jobs should provide for our needs without taking away from our ability to share our faith. - Finding God in the Everyday: Can you see your profession as an opportunity to share God's love? Perhaps you have a coworker who needs a listening ear, or maybe your work ethic can be a silent witness to your faith. - Embracing Your Skills: Whether you're a doctor, a teacher, or a barista, God has equipped you with unique skills. Use them to serve others and glorify Him. Discussion Starter for your Journey Group: Think about a time when someone showed you extraordinary kindness and compassion. How did it make you feel? How can you extend that same level of care to others? Join the Journey! Feeling a little uninspired by your daily grind? We all need a community to support and encourage us! If you're interested in joining a journey group where you can explore faith and work together, email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com. We can't promise a glamorous new job, but we can guarantee some lively discussions and a whole lot of support (and who knows, maybe even some tips on sewing a decent tent!). 🐰 RABBIT TRAIL👉🏻 https://www.biola.edu/blogs/good-book-blog/2021/was-paul-a-tentmaker-part-2-did-paul-financially-support-himself

31:08

#320 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6 Why did Paul do what he did?

1 Thessalonians 2:1-6 Devotional: The Measure of a Minister: Pure Motive = Pure Message Setting the Scene: Imagine a traveling salesman in your town. He bursts into your living room, throws a pamphlet on your coffee table, and launches into a spiel about how his revolutionary new product will change your life. But before you can even ask a question, he's demanding payment. Sound familiar? In the first-century Roman world, traveling teachers and philosophers were a dime a dozen. Many were seen as smooth-talking charlatans, peddling half-truths and empty promises for a quick buck. In 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6, the Apostle Paul finds himself facing similar accusations in the newly formed church in Thessalonica. Historical Context: Remember Philippi? Just before arriving in Thessalonica, Paul and Silas were brutally beaten and imprisoned there (Acts 16:22-23). Not exactly the way a self-serving conman would choose to launch his career! Here, Paul uses this painful experience to establish his credibility. Who would endure such hardship for a lie? Cultural Context: For Jews of the time, seeking God's approval was paramount. Paul emphasizes his motivation is to please God, not men. This resonates with his Jewish audience, who valued living according to God's will, regardless of popular opinion. Literary Context: Paul anticipates his critics. He knows the accusations that follow traveling teachers and dismantles them before they can even be voiced. This pre-emptive strike clears the air and allows him to focus on the real message: the Gospel of God. Questions for YOU to Reflect and Discuss: 1) Are there situations where it's difficult to separate your desire to please God from the desire for approval from others? 2) Have you ever encountered someone who seemed to be spreading a message for their own benefit? How did you discern their motives? 3) Paul highlights his willingness to suffer for the Gospel. What sacrifices are you willing to make for your faith? Discussion Starter for Journey Groups: Think about a "traveling salesperson" analogy for a modern-day ministry. What are some ways ministries can avoid appearing self-serving or manipulative? Modern Application 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Here's how this passage can guide your Christian walk today: 1) Live with Integrity: Let your actions speak louder than words. If your faith is genuine, it will be evident in your life. 2) Focus on God's Approval: Seek to live according to God's will, not fleeting human praise. 3) Be Genuine in Your Relationships: Build authentic connections, not shallow flattery. Call to Action: Don't Journey Alone! Feeling lost in the wilderness of modern Christianity? We get it! Navigating faith can be tricky. That's why journey groups exist – to support, encourage, and learn together. Ready to find your tribe? Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com and we'll help you connect with a group (or start your own!) filled with fellow seekers who won't judge you for mistaking snake oil for the Holy Spirit.

#319 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 Gospel News Travels Fast!

1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 Gospel News Travels Fast! Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself in the bustling port city of Corinth, circa 50 AD. The cosmopolitan hub is a melting pot of cultures, a crossroads for trade and ideas. Here, amidst the throngs, sits the Apostle Paul, penning a letter filled with surprising joy. He's not writing to a well-established church with years of tradition behind them. Instead, his message is aimed at a fledgling community in Thessalonica, hundreds of miles away. Paul and his companions, Silas and Timothy, had planted the seeds of faith in Thessalonica just a short time ago. But due to fierce opposition, they were forced to flee, leaving behind a young church facing uncertainty. Now, in Corinth, Paul receives news that fills him with encouragement. The Highway of Good News: With a little research, you will discover that Thessalonica lay on the famed Egnatian Way, a major Roman road stretching across the eastern Mediterranean. Think of it as the "information superhighway" of its time. Merchants, travelers, and even Roman officials would have traversed this route, carrying news and stories along the way. It's no wonder then, that word about the Thessalonian believers' vibrant faith traveled fast, reaching Paul's ears all the way down in Corinth. Questions for You to Chew on and Discuss: 1) In our fast-paced world of instant communication, how can we share our faith authentically and effectively? 2) Who are the people in your life who might be curious about your beliefs? 3) How can you create opportunities to share your faith journey with them? Discussion Starter for Your Journey Group: Imagine you're a merchant traveling the Egnatian Way and you encounter a group of passionate believers in Thessalonica. What details about their faith would catch your attention and make you want to learn more? Modern Day Application Ideas: The story of the Thessalonian church reminds us that the impact of our faith can extend far beyond our immediate surroundings. Just like the early Christians, we are called to live out our beliefs authentically, letting our actions and words be a beacon of hope for those around us. Here are some ways you can do that: 1) Live a life of integrity: Let your daily actions reflect your faith. 2) Be a source of encouragement: Offer support and kindness to those in need. 3) Share your story: When appropriate, talk openly about your faith journey. The Journey Continues... Feeling inspired to connect with other believers and embark on your own faith journey together? Don't wait for news to travel the Egnatian Way (or the internet) to find a supportive community. We encourage you to join a journey group! It's a fantastic way to learn, grow, and share your faith in a safe and encouraging environment. Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to get connected or learn more about starting your own group. Remember, a journey is always more fun with friends (and maybe a little less dusty than the Egnatian Way!) #dailybiblepodcast #dailybiblereading #1thessalonians #apostlepaul #jesusjourney #gospelnews #goodnews #biblepodcast #learnthebible #bibleforeveryone

#318 I Thessalonians 1:1-7 Could you be a Christian Pioneer?

Standing Strong: A Devotional on 1 Thessalonians 1:1-7 Setting the Scene Imagine a world where following a new faith meant facing scorn and persecution from your family and community. This was the reality for the first Christians in Thessalonica, a vibrant city in what is now northern Greece. Around 50 AD, the Apostle Paul, along with Silas and Timothy, planted the seeds of Christianity there. This wasn't an easy feat. People were accustomed to worshipping the Roman gods and following their ancestral traditions. The idea of a single, all-powerful God, who also sent his son as a sacrifice for humanity, was revolutionary. This passage, likely one of Paul's earliest letters, finds the Thessalonian church facing these challenges head-on, yet brimming with faith. Fresh Off the Boat (of Faith): Early Christianity It's important to note the historical context here. Traditionally, the concept of "chosen people" was reserved for the Jews. For Paul, a devout Jew himself, to extend this idea to Gentile converts was groundbreaking, even bordering on scandalous. This small band of believers in Thessalonica were pioneers, and news of their faith spread like wildfire throughout the region. More Than Words: The Power of the Spirit When Paul talks about bringing the "good news" (the Gospel) to Thessalonica, he emphasizes that it wasn't just words. They witnessed the "power" of the Holy Spirit at work. This could have manifested in many ways – perhaps during fervent prayers, spirit-filled worship, or acts of miraculous healing. The point is, the Holy Spirit wasn't a distant concept; it was a tangible force that solidified their faith. QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO CHEW ON AND DISCUSS: 1) Can you think of a time when you felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in a powerful way? How did it impact your faith? 2) The Thessalonian church became an example to others. How can we, as modern-day Christians, be shining examples of our faith in our communities? 3) The idea of being "chosen" can be a source of comfort and purpose. How can we live out this idea not in a sense of exclusivity, but as a responsibility to share God's love with the world? Discussion Starter for Your Journey Group Think about a time when your faith was challenged – maybe by social pressures, doubts, or even persecution. How did you overcome those challenges, and how can we support each other in our faith journeys? Call to Action: Don't Be a Lone Ranger (of Faith!) We all need a support system, even apostles needed companions like Silas and Timothy! If you're interested in joining a journey group to delve deeper into the Bible and connect with fellow believers, email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com. We won't judge you for showing up with metaphorical sandals still dusty from your travels (or maybe that's just because our meetings are virtual). But seriously, we'd love to have you on board! #dailybiblepodcast #dailybiblereading #biblepodcast #thessalonians #pioneers #followjesus #jesusjourney

#315 Philippians 4:21-23 From Prison to the Palace! Amazing reach of the Gospel of Jesus~

From Prison to Palace: The Gospel's Unstoppable Power Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself in the heart of Rome, a city teeming with life and power. It's around 62 AD, and the Apostle Paul, a prisoner of the Roman Empire, is penning a heartfelt letter to the church in Philippi. Despite his confinement, Paul's spirit overflows with gratitude and hope. In the closing verses of his letter (Philippians 4:21-23), he extends warm greetings and offers a remarkable insight into the reach of the gospel. A Divine Connection to Power One particular detail in verse 22 stands out: "especially those who are of Caesar's household." This phrase has intrigued scholars for centuries. Who were these individuals? Were they servants, slaves, or perhaps even members of the imperial family? A more likely explanation points to the Praetorian Guard, the elite military force that protected the Roman Emperor. These soldiers were more than just bodyguards; they were the Emperor's personal army, a symbol of imperial power. To be a member of the Praetorian Guard was to be part of Caesar's inner circle, a position of immense privilege and influence. Paul's mention of this group is significant for several reasons. First, it highlights the extraordinary reach of the gospel. The message of Christ was not confined to the marginalized or the oppressed; it penetrated the highest echelons of Roman society. Second, it underscores Paul's unwavering boldness. Even while imprisoned, he seized the opportunity to share the good news with some of the most powerful men in the empire. A Testament to God's Sovereignty The fact that Paul could minister to members of the Praetorian Guard is a testament to God's sovereign plan. Despite the challenges and dangers he faced, Paul remained steadfast in his mission. He understood that God was working behind the scenes, using even the most unlikely circumstances to advance the kingdom of God. A Call to Boldness As we reflect on Paul's experiences, we are challenged to be bold in our own witness for Christ. Like Paul, we may face opposition or adversity. However, we must never allow fear to deter us from sharing the gospel. Let us be inspired by his example and strive to reach out to those who are far from God, no matter their social status or personal background. Discussion Starter for Your Journey Group: How can we, as modern-day Christians, be more intentional about sharing the gospel with those in positions of power and influence? What are some practical ways to overcome fear and step out in faith? Call to Action: Ready to embark on a deeper spiritual journey? Join a journey group and connect with like-minded believers. Together, we can explore the depths of God's Word and encourage one another to live out our faith. Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to learn more about joining a group or starting your own. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for episode #316! We're going to pause briefly before starting our next book and take a look at an amazing Christian man who has helped spread the Gospel throughout China and beyond!

#314 Philippians 4:15-20 Life-Changing Generosity from a group of Christians!

Want to support this Bible-Teaching, Gospel-Sharing, Disciple-Making ministry? GO HERE TO START GIVING 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 https://www.yourjesusjourney.com/support-the-journey-church-online NOW ON TO THE DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY: Philippians 4:15-20: A Journey in Faithful Generosity Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself in the bustling Roman world of the first century. The apostle Paul, a tireless missionary, has traversed thousands of miles spreading the gospel message. He's faced imprisonment, shipwreck, and countless hardships (2 Corinthians 11:23-27). Yet, in Philippi, a city in what is now northern Greece, he finds a church unlike any other. A Community of Generous Hearts: Paul highlights a remarkable truth in our passage: the Philippian church stood alone in financially supporting his ministry (Philippians 4:15-16). This wasn't a small gesture in an era where travel could be perilous and expensive. Think of the early Christians, many likely of modest means, pooling their resources to ensure the gospel continued to spread. It's particularly moving when you consider the Philippians themselves faced challenges (Philippians 4:14). Their generosity transcended circumstance. More Than Money: Paul goes beyond mere financial support. He describes their gift as "a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God" (Philippians 4:18). This evokes the imagery of temple sacrifices in the Old Testament, a powerful metaphor for the transformative nature of their generosity. Their gift wasn't just helpful; it was an act of worship. Modern-Day Application: So how can we, as modern Christians, apply these principles? - Practice radical generosity: Look beyond your own needs and consider how you can financially support those spreading the gospel or those in need within your own community. - Giving as worship: Let your generosity be an expression of your faith, a fragrant offering to God. - Celebrate the generosity of others: Acknowledge and appreciate acts of giving, both big and small, within your community. Discussion Starter for your Journey Group: Think about a time when you offered financial support to someone in need. How did it impact your relationship with them? How did it make you feel closer to God? Journey On Together: Want to explore this concept of faithful generosity further? Don't embark on this financial adventure alone! We, at Your Jesus Journey, have groups dedicated to growing in all aspects of our faith, including financial stewardship. Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to find a group or learn more about starting your own. Remember, sharing our resources isn't just about the money; it's about the journey of faith we take together! #dailybiblepodcast #dailybiblereading #dailybibleverse #philippians #generosity #begenerous

What does the Bible say about DIVORCE?

What does the Bible say about DIVORCE?

Welcome to The Journey Church Online, a unique and out-of-the-box church that reaches people everywhere! In this eye-opening episode, we're exploring Matthew 5:31-32 to unravel what Jesus said about divorce during His powerful sermon on the Mount. Join us as we dive deep into the historical context and intent behind these verses. You'll be amazed to learn how God's instructions on divorce in Deuteronomy 24:1-4 were truly revolutionary for their time, providing protections and provisions for divorced women in an era where women were often treated as property. In this video, we address some common misconceptions surrounding divorce and remarriage. We share personal experiences and stories, including one about Kaila, who was given misleading advice by a pastor when seeking guidance on remarriage after a previous divorce. We'll explore Jesus' corrective message in Matthew 5:31-32, where He calls people back to God's original heart for marriage. Discover the significance of the phrase about causing a divorced woman to commit adultery and its intended meaning for those who frivolously divorce their spouses. At The Journey Church Online, we believe in a compassionate and understanding approach, especially for those who have faced rejection or judgment due to divorce. We'll emphasize that nowhere does Jesus intend divorce to cast anyone out of fellowship or excommunicate them from their church or family. Our channel is all about understanding God's truth and embracing everyone, no matter their background or struggles.

Welcome to Join the Journey Church! We're an online church for people everywhere and this is episode 1 in our S.O.M.A Series. What if all you had were the 18 life-changing lessons Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount? Could you survive as a Christian? Would learning and obeying these teachings be enough to help you THRIVE as a disciple? Tune in each week as we bring you powerful lessons from Jesus from some of the most breathtaking locations! This series is filmed as we travel through the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Northern British Columbia, Yukon Territories, Alaska, and the Northwest Territories! Not only will you be challenged to learn and live out Jesus' teachings but you'll see some of God's most magnificent wilderness as we go! Often times people think that to mature as a Christian they need to become an experienced Bible Scholar. Many believe the route to maturity is more education, more learning, more classes, more groups, and more bible studies. But Jesus himself issued the Great Commandment to go to all the nations, make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that He commanded - all while trusting that He would always be with us as we go. Jesus' picture of a maturing disciple isn't a highly educated, super involved churchgoer... Instead, He calls believers to learn what He taught and obey it. Actually, learn and apply the teachings of Jesus in your everyday life - that's the sign of a mature disciple. And that can occur apart from a deep knowledge of the whole Bible, years of study, or a lifetime of church attendance. Jesus' burden is easy and His yoke is light - so simple that young children were often used as examples of the ones embracing their faith in a right way. In this first video in the series, we're unpacking Matthew 5:13-16 where Jesus uses a couple of common items to illustrate the importance of doing what we're made for - living our lives with intentionality and obedience. Not only do we unpack this important teaching from Jesus, but we take you with us to explore Grassi Lakes near Canmore, Alberta. Grassi Lakes and the Grassi Lakes Hike are absolutely beautiful. The crystal clear emerald green and aquamarine colors in these lakes are sure to fill your "awe-tank"!

Thad, from The Journey Church, introduces a new way to experience joy and happiness that is not dependent on outward circumstances. In this series, Thad will challenge you to unlearn some things that have always seemed normal and dive into a section of the Bible known as The Beatitudes. These statements from Jesus may seem weird and confusing, but they are some of the most disruptive things He said, flipping the religious world upside down and introducing a radically new way to gauge who was really in God’s kingdom. Just like a dashboard in a car, we all have gauges integrated into our lives that tell us what to do to become more independent, refill our happiness tank, make ourselves stronger, and know what corners we can cut and still be okay. But what if these gauges are leading us in the wrong direction? Through The Beatitudes, Jesus describes a new set of gauges for His followers. In this series, we will learn about these different gauges and explore what it means to give when others take, to love when others hate, and to help when others abuse. Join Thad on this journey to rebuild your dashboard and install new gauges to help you measure if your life is running right. Be warned, if you're serious about changing the gauges you live by, you're going to face some opposition. But it's worth it to learn how to live the way that Jesus says will lead to true happiness and fulfillment. ABOUT THE JOURNEY CHURCH: https://www.jointhejourneychurch.com/AboutUs Online Church for "out-of-the-box" people.

Or perhaps you're just curious about God and this series caught your eye. No matter how you arrived here we want you to know that we are pumped that you're here! Having faith in Jesus doesn't mean you just magically stop asking questions. In fact, if you're anything like me, the more you dig into the Bible or learn about Jesus, the more questions you have!

We want to help you meet Jesus and unpack His invitation to follow Him and be His disciple. *Hint - It has nothing to do with being religious or going to the right church Some of you may have read through the gospels and even studied them.

Or, like many people, you've never really read much of the Bible but you're genuinely interested and don't really know where to start. In this documentary-style series, we'll work through the New Testament letters from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Filming new episodes as we travel throughout North America, we bring the text alive as we connect the lessons from Scripture with the amazing locations and people we encounter along the way.

Whether you found us online or we met you in person somewhere along our travels, our goal is the same - Help you grow in your relationship with Jesus and have confidence that you're really doing it - BEING A CHRIST FOLLOWER =) We're so glad you're here! You may have jumped on board because you have a hunger to really understand what you're reading in the Bible. You may be here because your inner skeptic keeps tossing questions on the table and you finally found someone talking about those same kinds of questions. Or perhaps you're just curious about God and this series caught your eye. No matter how you arrived here we want you to know that we are pumped that you're here! Having faith in Jesus doesn't mean you just magically stop asking questions. In fact, if you're anything like me, the more you dig into the Bible or learn about Jesus, the more questions you have! In "The Why Series" we're inviting you to come with us on a journey through the gospels to discover the answers to questions so many of you have. We want to help you meet Jesus and unpack His invitation to follow Him and be His disciple. *Hint - It has nothing to do with being religious or going to the right church Some of you may have read through the gospels and even studied them. We would love to invite you to take a fresh look at them with us. Or, like many people, you've never really read much of the Bible but you're genuinely interested and don't really know where to start. In this documentary-style series, we'll work through the New Testament letters from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Filming new episodes as we travel throughout North America, we bring the text alive as we connect the lessons from Scripture with the amazing locations and people we encounter along the way. How fun is that! Learn the Bible in a way that makes sense AND is interesting. BONUS: Beyond learning about Jesus I bet you will be adding some of our filming locations to your travel bucket list! Ever want to know more about a location just reach out in the comments or email us at: info@jointhejourneychurch.com No religion. No pressure to join this church or that one. Just an invitation to join us on a journey through the Bible to meet Jesus and learn how to follow Him and His teachings. By the way - that's called being a Christian.

Thad, from The Journey Church, introduces a new way to experience joy and happiness that is not dependent on outward circumstances. In this series, Thad will challenge you to unlearn some things that have always seemed normal and dive into a section of the Bible known as The Beatitudes. These statements from Jesus may seem weird and confusing, but they are some of the most disruptive things He said, flipping the religious world upside down and introducing a radically new way to gauge who was really in God’s kingdom. Just like a dashboard in a car, we all have gauges integrated into our lives that tell us what to do to become more independent, refill our happiness tank, make ourselves stronger, and know what corners we can cut and still be okay. But what if these gauges are leading us in the wrong direction? Through The Beatitudes, Jesus describes a new set of gauges for His followers. In this series, we will learn about these different gauges and explore what it means to give when others take, to love when others hate, and to help when others abuse. Join Thad on this journey to rebuild your dashboard and install new gauges to help you measure if your life is running right. Be warned, if you're serious about changing the gauges you live by, you're going to face some opposition. But it's worth it to learn how to live the way that Jesus says will lead to true happiness and fulfillment.
