#278 Galatians 1:11-24 Paul is defending his character, conduct and credibility

With God as my Witness: A Look at Galatians 1:11-24 Setting the Scene: Imagine a courtroom drama, but instead of a stuffy judge, you have the passionate Apostle Paul pleading his case. Not for a crime, but for the very truth of the Gospel he preaches. In Galatians 1:11-24, Paul is facing accusations from "Judaizers," who believe salvation comes through following Jewish laws like circumcision. They question Paul's authority, claiming his message contradicts the teachings of the original apostles in Jerusalem. The Defense Rests (Kind Of): Paul doesn't waste words. He throws down the gauntlet, declaring his gospel isn't "man-made" (v. 11). He received it directly from a revelation of Jesus Christ (v. 12). Now, picture the scene: Paul, once a fiery persecutor of Christians (v. 13), is knocked off his high horse by a vision of the risen Christ (Acts 9). Interestingly, Paul doesn't rush to Jerusalem to brag about his encounter (v. 17). Instead, he disappears into Arabia for three years (v. 17). Why? Silence Speaks Volumes: First century audiences would have understood this self-imposed exile as a time for deep reflection and spiritual formation. Paul wasn't seeking human approval; he was getting his message straight from the source. When he finally does travel north (v. 21), even believers in Judea still haven't met him (v. 22). Yet, they know of his dramatic conversion (v. 23). News travels fast, especially when it involves a notorious persecutor turned passionate promoter! Questions for Reflection: - In today's world, where do we find trustworthy sources of faith? - How can we discern truth from mere opinion or cultural trends? - Has your faith journey ever involved a period of personal reflection or "wilderness wandering?" Journey Group Discussion Starter: Imagine you're a new believer in Galatia. Would Paul's unique background and direct revelation from Jesus make his message more or less believable? Why? Call to Action: Feeling lost in the legal jargon of Paul's defense? Don't worry, dissecting scripture is way more fun with a group! We won't put you on trial, but we will guide you through the exciting world of the Bible. So, ditch the solo act and join a Journey Group! Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to connect or learn more about starting your own group. Remember, the early church thrived on fellowship, and so can yours!
#277 Galatians 1:6-10 Shocked, Angry, Hurt! Paul's Fiery Greeting to the Galatians!

#277 Galatians 1:6-10 Shocked, Angry, Hurt! Paul's Fiery Greeting to the Galatians!

Devotional: The Unchanging Gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) Setting the Scene: Imagine the scene. The Apostle Paul, a man who once persecuted Christians with zeal, has encountered a new community of believers in Galatia (an area in what is now central Turkey). He brought them the good news of Jesus Christ, the revolutionary message that salvation comes through faith alone, not by following religious laws. Yet, just a short time later, whispers of a "different gospel" begin to circulate. This "gospel" likely emphasized the need for Jewish converts to follow certain rituals and practices alongside faith in Christ. Paul, ever the fiery advocate for the true gospel, is not having it. Unpacking the Text: Paul is astonished (v. 6) by the Galatians' swift desertion of the message that set them free. He emphasizes that there is only "one gospel" (v. 7) - the good news of Christ's sacrifice and grace. He uses strong language, pronouncing a curse on anyone who preaches a different message, even if it were an angel (v. 8)! This isn't about theatrical pronouncements. Paul is highlighting the critical importance of the true gospel. It's not about adding our own spin or cultural preferences. It's about the pure, life-giving message of Jesus. QUESTIONS FOR YOU to reflect on the text & your walk: - Are there voices in your life, subtle or loud, that try to distort the core message of Jesus' love and grace? - How can we stay grounded in the true gospel, especially when faced with different teachings or opinions? - Paul emphasizes seeking God's approval, not man's. How does this principle guide your choices and actions? Journey Group Discussion Starter: Imagine you're a Galatians believer, confused by the new teachings. How would you react to Paul's letter? Call to Action: Feeling a little lost in the wilderness of mixed messages? Don't wander alone! Journey groups are like oases of fellowship and Bible study, where you can explore the true gospel with supportive friends. Think of it as having your own personal Paul to guide you! If you're interested in joining or starting a journey group, send us an email at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com. We promise it'll be a more enlightening adventure than following a herd of confused sheep. (No offense to sheep!) Remembering What Jesus Taught About Salvation and Entry into the Kingdom of God: Jesus Himself was clear about the only way to enter the Kingdom of God and experience salvation. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). This is echoed in other verses like John 10:7 and Acts 4:12, which emphasize that Jesus is the door and the only name by which we can be saved. Additional Reflection: Just as the Israelites faced false teachers in the promised land, so too do we as believers in the Kingdom of God. Deuteronomy 13 warns against those who would lead the people astray with false gods and teachings. Similarly, Paul is fiercely defending the true gospel against those who would distort it. The message remains the same: salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by human works or rituals. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, it's crucial to remain vigilant against false teachings that might undermine the foundation of our faith. #dailybiblepodcast #dailybiblereading #galatians #jesusjourney #followjesus #gospel #noothergod
#276 Galatians 1:1-5  Opening with Authority & Truth: Paul's first lines to the Galatians
33:07

#276 Galatians 1:1-5 Opening with Authority & Truth: Paul's first lines to the Galatians

Standing Firm: An Anchor in the Storm (Galatians 1:1-5) Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself in the bustling city of Antioch of Syria, sometime in the mid-first century AD. Christianity is still young, a fledgling movement spreading like wildfire across the Roman Empire. The Apostle Paul, fresh off his first missionary journey, has planted churches in the region of Galatia (present-day Turkey). News reaches him, however, that these new believers are being bombarded with confusing messages. Authority Under Fire: Think of Paul as a revolutionary leader, shaking up the religious establishment. His opening line, "an apostle sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father" (Galatians 1:1), is a powerful declaration. He's not appointed by some committee or religious elite; his authority comes directly from God Himself. This stands in stark contrast to the "false teachers" who are infiltrating the Galatians, pushing a message of legalism โ€“ salvation through religious rituals and following strict Old Testament laws. Paul sees this as undermining the very core of the Gospel: Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Brothers and Sisters Stand United: It's not just Paul who's concerned. Notice how he mentions "all the brothers who are with me" (Galatians 1:2). He's not a lone wolf; the early Church is united in this message of freedom in Christ. Imagine the comfort this brought to the Galatians, bombarded by conflicting voices. The Heart of the Gospel: Finally, Paul launches into the heart of the matter โ€“ the Gospel itself. He reminds them (and us!) of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made: "who gave himself for our sins" (Galatians 1:4). This wasn't some accident; it was God's deliberate plan "to deliver us from this present evil age" (Galatians 1:4). Jesus came to set us free, not from external Roman rule, but from the far more insidious power of sin. He fulfilled the Law, freeing us from its burden. Reflecting on the Text: QUESTIONS FOR YOU ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป - How do you respond to Paul's bold claim to authority in verse 1? - How does this passage challenge any ideas you might have about earning God's favor? I - n what ways might you be tempted by a "different gospel" today? Discussion Starter for your Journey Group: Imagine yourself as one of the Galatian believers, confused by the conflicting messages. How would you feel upon receiving Paul's letter? Share your thoughts with your journey group. Calling All Anchors! Feeling adrift in a sea of confusing messages? Don't navigate this journey alone!

#275 Intro to Galatians: The Backstory Behind Paul's Fiery Letter!

Setting the Scene: Freedom Fighters in Roman Galatia Welcome, fellow travelers! Today, we embark on a journey through the fiery letter of Galatians. But before we dive into Paul's passionate words, let's set the scene. Imagine yourself in the rugged, mountainous region of Galatia, nestled in the heart of the Roman Empire. This wasn't exactly a land flowing with milk and honey. The Galatians were a proud Celtic people, known for their fierce independence and love of warfare. Their gods mirrored their nature โ€“ a pantheon of powerful warriors like Mars, the Roman god of war. Now picture Paul, a former persecutor of Christians turned zealous advocate, arriving in this land on his first missionary journey. Acts tells us he faced opposition from Jewish leaders who couldn't stomach the idea of Gentiles (non-Jews) receiving salvation without following Jewish traditions. This tension between freedom in Christ and religious legalism would become a central theme in Paul's letter. The Plot Thickens: A Betrayal of Grace? Fast forward a bit. Paul has left Galatia, and new teachers have arrived. These teachers, possibly Jewish Christians, are whispering a different message. They tell the Galatians that faith in Jesus alone isn't enough. To be truly saved, they argue, one must also follow Jewish laws, like circumcision. This news throws the Galatians into confusion. Weren't they free in Christ? Paul, upon hearing this, is furious. He pens a passionate letter, a fiery defense of the Gospel of grace. He reminds the Galatians of their initial conversion, the persecution they faced together for the sake of Christ, and the freedom they found in Him. He pulls no punches, calling their flirtation with legalism a betrayal and a descent back into slavery. Questions for you: - Have you ever felt pressure to follow certain rules or rituals to be closer to God? - What does "freedom in Christ" mean to you? - How can we live a life of faith without falling back into legalism? Discussion Starter for Your Journey Group: Imagine you're a Galatian believer receiving Paul's letter. What emotions might you be feeling? Would you be swayed by the new teachers' arguments? Why or why not? Join the Journey! Feeling lost in the wilderness of religious rules? Yearning for the freedom Paul describes? Don't wander alone! We have amazing journey groups where you can explore the Bible with supportive friends. Email us at yourjesusjourney@gmail.com to get connected or learn more about starting your own group. Remember, the only requirement is a thirst for truth and a willingness to share the adventure! (And maybe a good pair of walking shoes for all the exploring we'll do!)
#274 Deuteronomy 34:10-12  What did it mean that God knew Moses Face-to-Face?
27:19

#274 Deuteronomy 34:10-12 What did it mean that God knew Moses Face-to-Face?

A Farewell to the Face-to-Face Leader: A Devotional on Deuteronomy 34:10-12 Setting the Scene: Imagine a dusty mountaintop. The wind whispers through your hair as you gaze upon a vast, sprawling landscape. This is the view Moses is granted as he reaches the end of his journey. No longer a young man leading a ragtag group of escaped slaves, Moses stands as a seasoned leader, the architect of a nation on the cusp of its Promised Land. But this moment isn't just about the view; it's about a life well-lived and a legacy etched in the very fabric of God's people. A Face-to-Face God: The passage mentions Moses being unique โ€“ God knew him "face to face." This isn't meant literally. In the ancient world, seeing someone's face wasn't a casual act; it signified intimacy and deep knowledge. Think of it like a close friend or confidant. In Exodus 33:11, God describes speaking to Moses "face to face, as one speaks to a friend." This closeness is further emphasized by the lack of intermediaries. Unlike other prophets who received messages through dreams or visions, Moses had a direct line to the divine. Additional Context: While the phrase "face to face" might suggest a literal encounter, it's important to understand that God's transcendence makes such a meeting impossible for humans. In Exodus 33:20, God tells Moses, "You cannot see my face, for no man shall see me and live." This underscores the idea that "face to face" is a metaphor for an intimate, personal relationship, where God reveals Himself deeply to His chosen servant. Face-to-Face Flashback: Remembering When God Spoke to Moses Directly: Imagine hearing directly from God in broad daylight, not a dream, not a quiet voice in the back of your mind, but an unmistakable voice speaking directly to you. That's the kind of intimacy Moses experienced throughout his life. From the burning bush to the Ten Commandments, God spoke directly to Moses, revealing His plans, His will, and His unwavering love. The Burning Bush: (Exodus 3:1-4) Moses, tending his father-in-law's flock, encounters a miraculous sight โ€“ a bush ablaze yet unconsumed. God calls out to him from the fire, commissioning him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The Ten Commandments: (Exodus 20:1-17) On Mount Sinai, Moses receives the Ten Commandments, the moral foundation for God's people. This encounter is a testament to the directness of God's communication with His chosen leader. The Tabernacle Instructions: (Exodus 25-40) God provides detailed blueprints for the construction of the Tabernacle, a sacred dwelling place for His presence among the Israelites. Moses acts as God's architect, translating divine vision into tangible reality. The Tent of Meeting: (Exodus 33:7-11) Moses establishes a regular meeting place with God, the Tent of Meeting. Here, he seeks guidance, receives revelations, and intercedes for the people. The Pillar of Cloud and Fire: (Exodus 13:21-22) God guides the Israelites through the wilderness with a visible presence โ€“ a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Moses consults with God through these divine manifestations. These encounters paint a picture of a leader in constant communion with the divine. Moses wasn't simply following orders; he was actively participating in God's grand plan. His life serves as a powerful reminder that God desires a deep, personal connection with His people. Signs, Wonders, and Mighty Power: The passage also highlights Moses' extraordinary mission. Remember the ten plagues of Egypt? The parting of the Red Sea? Those were just some of the "signs and wonders" Moses performed at God's command. He stood toe-to-toe with Pharaoh, a living display of God's power. Deuteronomy paints a picture of a leader unmatched in his ability to wield God's might for the good of his people. Reflecting on the Farewell: QUESTIONS FOR YOU - What leaders in your life have left a lasting impression? Consider not just political figures, but mentors, teachers, or even fictional characters. How did they demonstrate courage, integrity, or faith? - Have you ever felt a deep sense of God's presence in your life? Describe that experience. How did it affect your faith? - The passage compares knowing God "face to face" to a close friendship. How can you cultivate a deeper, more intimate relationship with God? Journey Group Discussion Starter: This passage serves as a kind of eulogy for Moses. Imagine you're writing his obituary for the desert newspaper. What would be the headline? What key accomplishments would you highlight? Call to Action: Want to join a community where faith meets friendship? Join a Journey Group and embark on a spiritual adventure with fellow travelers.

#273 Deuteronomy 34:9  Moses Commissions Joshua and the people obey him
35:13

#273 Deuteronomy 34:9 Moses Commissions Joshua and the people obey him

Stepping Up: The Hands-On Transfer of Wisdom (Deuteronomy 34:9) Setting the Scene: Imagine the scene. Moses, the iconic leader who freed the Israelites from Egypt, is gone. The people stand on the cusp of entering the Promised Land, a daunting task after years of wandering in the wilderness. Who will guide them now? Enter Joshua, son of Nun. But Deuteronomy 34:9 doesn't simply introduce Joshua as the successor. It paints a beautiful picture of empowerment: "Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid hands on him." (Deuteronomy 34:9) The Weighty Hands of Leadership: This "laying on of hands" wasn't a casual gesture. In ancient Israel, it signified a transfer of authority, blessing, or spiritual gift. Think of Jacob blessing his sons in Genesis 48:14-20, placing his hands on them and prophesying their futures. Here, Moses, entrusted by God, equips Joshua with the "spirit of wisdom" he needs to lead. The Spirit of Wisdom: A Divine Gift The "spirit of wisdom" in this passage is the Hebrew word "Ruah," the same word used to describe God as a spirit hovering over the waters in Genesis 1:2. This wasn't the first time Moses and the people of Israel heard this language about the Spirit of God (Ruah) being given to a person or people. Back in Exodus 31:1-6, God explained to Moses that he had given Bezalel the Spirit of God and given him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. God also gave others special skills to be able to make the wonderful things God directed them to make, such as the ark of the covenant, the tabernacle, and many more things. Under the Old Covenant, the spirit of God was given by God to certain people to accomplish certain tasks or fulfill certain roles and responsibilities he had assigned to them. Often, these tasks were beyond their own abilities, training, or experience. By God giving them His spirit and empowering them with wisdom, special skills, or expertise, two things would be obvious to them and others: Divine Recognition: Those who received the Spirit would recognize that their abilities were a gift from God. Divine Attribution: Others who knew them would recognize God's gifting and spirit working in and through them, giving God credit. The New Covenant: A Radical Shift In the Old Covenant times, we would occasionally see God giving His spirit to special people here or there for a certain time or to help them with a specific role or skill. While it was certainly amazing, it was also relatively rare. Fast Forward to Jesus, and you begin to understand just how shocking His offer truly was. Jesus promised that the Spirit of God would come after Him, be greater than Him, and guide them (John 14:16-17). He also declared that the Spirit of God would be available to all who believed in Jesus and put their trust in Him as the way to the Father (John 7:37-39). In the New Covenant with God, all people can opt in by faith in Jesus and being baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They will then receive forgiveness of their sins and the free gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Something once seemingly rare and reserved only for a few special people God would use in very profound ways is now available to all who put their faith and trust in His son Jesus. Questions for Reflection: - How do you approach big decisions in your life? - Do you seek guidance or wisdom from others, or rely solely on your own judgment? - In what ways can you cultivate a spirit of wisdom in your own life? Discussion Starter for Journey Groups: Imagine you're about to embark on a major life change (new job, move, etc.). Who would you want to "lay hands on you," figuratively speaking, and offer wisdom and guidance? Why? Call to Action: Feeling a little lost in the wilderness of life choices? Don't wander alone! Our journey groups offer a supportive community where you can share experiences, gain wisdom from others, and so much more!

#272 Deuteronomy 34:1-8  Finishing on top: Moses' humble end
33:49

#272 Deuteronomy 34:1-8 Finishing on top: Moses' humble end

Gazing over the Threshold: A Look at Deuteronomy 34:1-8 Setting the Scene: Imagine the scene: Moses, the man who led the Israelites out of Egypt, stands at the precipice of something new. Not a new land, mind you, for heโ€™s denied entry due to a past misstep. Yet, a new vista stretches before him โ€“ the Promised Land, a tapestry of rolling hills and fertile plains. It's a bittersweet moment, tinged with the frustration of unrealized dreams yet laced with the satisfaction of a life dedicated to God's purpose. Details with a Purpose: The passage in Deuteronomy 34:1-8 is a poignant farewell, but the details within raise intriguing questions. Why the ambiguity surrounding Moses' burial? The text tells us he died in the land of Moab, but the location remains a mystery (Deuteronomy 34:6). Some scholars believe this secrecy served to prevent the Israelites from turning the burial site into a shrine, potentially leading to idolatry. Perhaps it was a way to emphasize the transience of life and the importance of focusing on God rather than relics. Another interesting detail is the description of Moses' physical state in verse 7: "his eye was not dimmed, nor his strength departed." This flies in the face of the natural aging process. Some see it as a literal description, highlighting God's miraculous preservation of Moses. However, it could also be a symbolic portrayal of his unwavering faith and mental clarity even in his final days. Reflecting on the Journey: - Do you ever find yourself close to achieving a dream, yet circumstances prevent you from fully realizing it? How can you find peace and purpose even when the destination seems out of reach? - The passage emphasizes Moses' unwavering faith despite his limitations. How can you cultivate a similar level of conviction in your own walk with God? - Imagine standing on a mountaintop overlooking your own "promised land." What does it represent? What challenges lie ahead, and how can you face them with strength and clarity? Discussion Starter for Your Journey Group: Imagine a world where everyone knew where Moses was buried. How might that have changed the course of history for the Israelites? Call to Action: Feeling a bit lost in the wilderness of unanswered questions? Don't wander alone! Join a Jesus Journey group and embark on a path of discovery with fellow travelers. We won't guarantee we'll unearth the location of Moses' tomb (although, wouldn't that be a story!), but we can definitely help you find a supportive community to explore your faith.

#271 Deuteronomy 33 Moses' final act: Blessing the tribes of Israel

Share your YJJ Review Here: https://forms.wix.com/r/7222984998729548607 Now on to the Devotional for today ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป Deuteronomy 33: A Father's Farewell Setting the Scene: Imagine yourself standing on the plains of Moab, a vast expanse stretching before you. The air hums with anticipation as the Israelites gather around their beloved leader, Moses. They know their time with him is drawing to a close. Just like a patriarch blessing his sons on his deathbed, Moses, on the cusp of entering the Promised Land he won't see, delivers a powerful message โ€“ not a curse, but a heartfelt blessing for each of the twelve tribes. This scene isn't unlike the one depicted in the movie Gladiator. Remember when a dying Caesar throws a wrench into the succession plan, bypassing his son and declaring Maximus his heir? Here, Moses, a revered figure, pronounces blessings that will shape the destiny of each tribe. Historical and Cultural Context: In ancient cultures, a father's blessing held immense weight. It wasn't just well wishes; it was a perceived transfer of power, favor, and destiny. Imagine the emotions swirling through the Israelites as Moses, a man who led them out of Egypt and spoke with God face-to-face, blessed each tribe. Hearing the Blessings: The text doesn't tell us exactly how Moses delivered these blessings. Perhaps he spoke them one by one, addressing each tribe leader directly. Maybe it was a more public ceremony, his voice booming across the crowd. Regardless of the delivery, the impact would have been undeniable. Each tribe would have taken Moses' words to heart, eager to see them fulfilled in their lives. Questions to Reflect On: - What does it mean for you to receive a blessing? From whom have you received blessings in your life? - How does God bless you today? Where do you see evidence of His favor in your life? - Think about the story of Maximus in Gladiator. How does it parallel Moses' farewell to the Israelites? Discussion Starter for Journey Groups: Moses' blessings were specific to each tribe, highlighting their strengths and potential. If God were to give you a personal blessing today, what would it be? Share your thoughts with your group and encourage others to do the same. Call to Action: Feeling a little lost in the wilderness of life? Don't wander alone! Join a Journey Group and connect with fellow believers who can help you navigate your faith journey.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Extinguishing Anger Fires: Lessons from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount ๐Ÿ”ฅ LESSON #3 in this series. In this week's captivating video, we dive into lesson #3 from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and it's all about ANGER! But wait, don't imagine the typical red-faced, loud anger we often think of. This discussion will reveal the different kinds of anger lurking within us that can create havoc if left unchecked. Picture this: a scorched landscape left behind by wildfires in Northern Alberta becomes the visual metaphor for understanding various types of anger. Just like fire, anger can take different forms, from the blazing inferno to the dangerous smoldering embers, and even quick flare-ups. In Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus challenges us to rethink our approach to anger. It's not merely about avoiding murder; it's about preventing anger from taking root in our hearts, leading to destructive outcomes. He shares examples to help us recognize anger's manifestations and how to deal with it effectively. So, if you want to be a true follower of Jesus, if you desire a radical transformation in your life, and if you yearn for peace in your relationships, then this video is a must-watch! Discover the power of extinguishing anger, learning to stop when you smell smoke in your life, and resolving issues before they escalate into full-blown conflicts. We believe this enlightening lesson will inspire you to embrace a life of compassion, forgiveness, and positive change. Whether you struggle with anger or wish to support someone who does, this video is your guide to managing anger in a way that benefits you, God, and others. Join us as we explore the wisdom of Jesus, and let's work together to extinguish the flames of anger and embrace a life filled with love and understanding.

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. Whether you're seeking guidance on challenging topics like divorce or simply looking for a welcoming community, you're invited to join us on this journey of discovery and growth.

Sermon on the Mount Alone: How do you actually let your good deeds shine? At Grassi Lakes Alberta

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 Godโ€™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.

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 Godโ€™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.
