Journey Community Church - La Mesa, CA podcast

Real Solutions - “This year will be different...” The New Year seems to call for some restart, thus the tradition of the Resolution. But if we want real, lasting, and substantial life change, we need more than resolutions. We need real solutions, and God invites us to come to Him for help. Join us as we look at decisions and directions that come straight from God via the Bible, which will empower us to live the life and become the people we know we are meant to be!…

Series Summary: “There is a time for everything under the sun.” The Bible holds truth about the reality of seasons in life, each having a different and essential purpose in our lives. How interesting that we refer to it as the Christmas Season. Seasons in life — Not all of them are alike, not all of them are easy, and Winter can be a tough one. It’s dark and it’s cold. And with the busyness of Christmas time, we may even miss out on the quiet. But how can we lay hold of God’s purpose for Winter? Is it possible to be happy in this season?

Winter is for Deepening 58:48

Message Summary: We all experience seasons of winter in our lives. It’s no accident that Christmas takes place in the winter. God was at work quietly and deeply, waiting for just the right time for Christmas. Even then, after the birth of Jesus, there seemed to be a time of waiting when God was at work deepening. While we experience suffering in the waiting, we are being invited and prepared for MORE. We have the unique opportunity in these moments to praise Him even before we see the breakthrough.

Designed to be Dormant 55:42

God is at work behind the scenes in seasons of life that seem to be dormant. Message Summary: Christmas comes in a season, a time when things are dormant. In fact, the story of Christmas takes place at a time when the nation of Israel had experienced 400 years of winter. Winter continues as Joseph and Mary are forced to flee into Egypt and then Jesus lives 33 years in obscurity. But winter does not mean that I’m off track. We know that even in winter, God is at work and we are waiting. As we wait, we can practice looking for and naming the less obvious gifts God is giving. Winter season calls us to trust God and to faith.

Hagar: The Unlikely Hero 43:05

6 years43:05

43:05

Message Summary: In Genesis 15, God promises Abram that he will have more descendants than stars in the sky. But nothing happens – Abram and his wife don’t have children. So, Sarai takes matters into her own hands and has Abram sleep with her maidservant, Hagar. Hagar gets pregnant and Sarai mistreats her. Hagar runs away, and encounters an angel of the Lord in the wilderness. The Lord calls Hagar by name and asks her where she’s been and where she’s going. God then instructs her to return to Sarai and talks to her about her future son, Ishmael, promising that he will be like a wild donkey. Hagar gives God a new name – You are the God who sees me. Hagar has the strength and confidence to return to the very situation she ran from because of her encounter with God. Series Summary: When we talk about heroes in the Bible, we may think of the well-known heroes like Moses, David or Paul. Their stories of courage and trust are often shared and taught. But, who are the regular people that, just by living faithfully, became an unsung hero of God’s epic story? Join us as we explore two unlikely heroes.…

Message Summary: Acts 9:1-22 tells the story of Saul persecuting the Lord’s disciples. On the road to Damascus, Saul was blinded by God. God gave Ananias a vision of going to Saul and placing hands on him and restoring his vision. Ananias shared his fears with God and then followed God’s invitation to help Saul. Saul, who became Paul, went on to write half of the New Testament of the Bible and have a profound impact on the church. And Ananias’ step of faith was a critical step in Paul’s journey.

Message Summary: Ephesians 2:11-22 explores how God brought peace and reconciliation, to both Jew and Gentile, through what Jesus did on the cross. Through this passage, we contemplate what it was like to be excluded, appreciate what Jesus did for us by being and bringing peace, and participate in the work of reconciliation as part of God’s family. (Reconciliation = to bring together, the process of making consistent or compatible) Rabbi Barney Kasdan leads the Kehilat Ariel Messianic Synagogue here in San Diego and speaks frequently in various venues with the hope of helping the Jewish and Christian communities to better understand each other. This weekend he will give a message on Ephesians 2 about how Jews and Gentiles are connected together in Yeshua/Jesus. He has written numerous articles on Messianic Judaism as well as popular books.

Life After Life After Death 55:58

6 years55:58

55:58

Message Summary: As we attempt to get our heads around a bigger and better vision of life and death, we consider four truths that are essential. The life that comes next is all about God’s presence and life in God’s presence is better. Our bodies are destined for resurrection; God cares about our bodies. There is a judgment to come and it is good news. In the end there will be a new beginning and a renewal of all things. Series Summary: "What’s Next?” In a diverse world, one of the things that unites us as humans is that we share a common end. All of our stories end… or do they? So, what is NEXT after all this? This is one of the oldest questions humans have asked. The story of Jesus speaks pointedly to this question and perhaps differently than you may have thought. In this series, we’ll explore the answers given by Jesus and his early followers (the ones who wrote the Bible, witnessed and proclaimed His resurrection, which changed the discussion completely.) The series will feature a special talk by best selling author Dr. Mary Neal — a surgeon who has written two popular books on her own near death experience.…

Message Summary: In our culture, we try to ignore death but we simply can’t ignore it. God invites us into a new eternal kind of life that is free from the fear of death. This freedom is also called the assurance of salvation, which is based on the person Jesus, the promises of God, experiencing forgiveness and the presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

Message Summary: The question of the afterlife is actually a very practical and relevant question. We will all face death. What we need is real, solid, confident hope and that’s exactly what God offers us. The shape of hope is better than just a “better place”. It looks like Jesus. It is shaped like eternal life that is about quality, a person and the overthrowing of death. This all leaves us with an important decision to entrust our lives to Him.

Series Summary: Who doesn’t want to live their BEST life? It’s a super popular hashtag — usually attached to a photo of us lying on a beach or hanging out with people we love.

54:41

Message Summary: Living my best life means embracing my vocation as an Imago Dei being: to Win. As we look back into the creation story we learn that God created us to extend and take back His rule through Jesus. This was our original script. But after the fall, we chose to live the wrong scripts. We can end up looking to the g gods of mammon and disordered romance/sexual desire and the scripts they offer, to bless us- make us happy. If we want to return to living our best lives, we take back our original script and live with confidence that He will give us this day our daily bread and submit our bodies to God, gaining freedom from lust.

Message Summary: In 2 Chronicles we see Jehoshaphat as an example of unmitigated success in the midst of hostile, confusing difficult times. We learn here that I live my best life only when I get rid of my gods and go for God! What does it mean to get rid of my little g gods? It’s a question of which god we seek, because we all seek. When we #LMBL with God, He solidifies my life. I practice “holding the Lord high in my heart.” I saturate my “domain” in the ways of God. The result of #LMBL is fruitfulness and increase.

The Great Irony 55:03

7 years55:03

55:03

Message Summary: Jesus died intentionally to recover our full humanity: to enable us to live our best life. The great irony is, that this starts with letting go of my whole life. We live in a culture of panic, afraid of missing out on the best life. In Mark, Jesus called the crowd together for a moment of clarity around this pursuit. We start moving toward our best life by understanding that we must say “no” to ourselves in order to be opened up to a bigger “yes”. We stop, reflect on our lives and make changes as Jesus directs. We let go of all that we’re grasping and find more of Jesus. Series Summary: Who doesn’t want to live their BEST life?

How We Fight 51:53

51:53

Message Summary: God’s plan and purpose for each of us is fruitfulness and increase. But sometimes we have to fight for breakthrough in order to get there. How? We learn to declare the kingdom of God over our lives. We show up in community and learn to allow others to pray over us. We learn rest and to allow God to battle for us as we worship. In prayer and worship we give our world back to God. We eventually experience breakthrough and victory, sometimes expressed differently than we expect. Let’s invite Him to activate His good purposes. Surrounded Series: Most of us have figured out that WE NEED GOD. And if that’s true… we really need to learn to pray. But maybe instead of seeing prayer as our last line of defense, we should also see it as our first line of offense. One pastor asked this question on Twitter: “What would be different in this world if God answered EVERY prayer you prayed last week?” At Journey, several times a year we really focus and dial in to try and step our prayer game UP!

Mark Oestreicher — Journey regular and founder of The Youth Cartel Aspirational Faith: The Beauty of Knowing Less and Wanting More Message Summary: There is a story in Mark about a man who asks Jesus to heal his son. In that conversation, the man cries out to Jesus, “I believe, help my unbelief!” In the paradox of having both doubt and belief, we find an invitation to bring our whole selves to Jesus without shame. When we remain open to “aspirational faith”, we also find ourselves less fearful, cynical, and judgmental. Although it seems counter-intuitive, we can set into place practices to help us celebrate where our doubts can lead us, rather than be shamed by them.…

In 1 John 1 we see that life is all about connection with God who is light. So how do flawed, darkness-infected people experience connection with light? John goes on to tell us that the way to connect is through a practice called confession. Instead of pretending, we confess. Instead of judging ourselves, we trust God as the one who sacrificed Himself for our sin.…

Message Central Thought: The subtle sneaky power of disappointment can threaten to stop the experience of God’s goodness.

But the disappointment Zacharias had experienced in life almost disabled him from receiving it. God can get through to us as we let MORE true things sink into our lives, as we begin to deepen our take on things and as we learn to ask better questions of God.

Of course there’s the Grinch, Scrooge, the Abominable Snowman, or the more nuanced materialism that threatens Charlie Brown’s Christmas. Christmas is God sending unspeakable goodness to us.

In this series we’ll look at the ways God speaks to us and how to hear God speaking to us. Message Central Thought: How do we recognize the voice of God? Message Summary: God wants to speak to us. He speaks most commonly through His Word, an inner voice, the peace of Christ, other human voices and our own discernment. We can learn to know God’s voice. His voice is consistent with the Bible. It often can be identified in thoughts that are cross current, recurring, seem to have more weight than others and are confirmed by other Christ followers.

Did You Hear That? 50:24

Series Central Thought: Can ordinary people hear the voice of God? Maybe it’s not only possible but essential to the life God has for us. In this series we’ll look at the ways God speaks to us and how to hear God speaking to us. Message Central Thought: We can learn to hear God speak through His still small voice. Message Summary: We NEED to hear God’s words and we were made to hear Him. One of the main ways He speaks to us is through The Voice which is often still and small. So we must learn to hear it in an ongoing relational process of understanding and practice. It can be missable, resistible and ignorable. So we start learning to listen through an interactive reading of God’s word. We then expect God to speak, evaluate whether there is anything blocking me from hearing and then take the time to really listen.…

Real Love: The Love We’ve Always Wanted 42:58

Big idea: We learn to combat the destructiveness of lust as we choose to give ourselves as a gift of sacrificial love to others as persons of immense value made in God’s image. Series Summary: It seems like there’s never been more controversy and confusion regarding our bodies. Maybe what’s missing is an understanding of God’s vision for who we are and what we’re meant for, revealed through the creation and design of our bodies. Our bodies are not just biological, but spiritual and theological as well. Even our sexuality is a message from God. There is great freedom to be discovered for people who are seeking God’s direction for life. Surprisingly, this is also GREAT NEWS for the world in understanding the NAKED TRUTH — it actually can lead us to that “something” that we’ve felt was missing our whole lives.…

In Acts 4:31 it says, “After they (the earliest followers of Christ) prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.” Perhaps you are partial to the room staying still, particularly in So Cal. Nevertheless, what followed this particular shaking was the emergence of a new kind of community that loved each other and the world around them to new levels. Their community grew in health, miracles happened regularly, God seemed to be revealing Himself to more and more people everyday and prayer and worship was at the center of it all. It was a breathtaking outbreak of God’s Kingdom, something we long for La Mesa and San Diego County and the world.…
