Journey NOW

With apologies to classic rock fans, Jesus' Sermon on The Mount teaches us that love is more than a feeling.  Suzie Lind and Mike Erre join host Kevin Dixon to explore questions from our current teaching series, the Upside Down Kingdom. This week, a question about love and shame leads them into a discussion of how different Jesus' idea of love is from our common, pop-cultural understanding. So, how can we rid ourselves of cultural biases and hear His message as it was intended? Got comments or questions?

What does it mean when Jesus cautions us in his "Upside Down Kingdom" not to attach God's name to empty things (Matthew 5:33-37). As we learned in Sunday's Gathering, it's easy--and tempting--to invoke God when express our own opinions and desires. Phrases like "I have a word for you," "God told me" and "we are being led" can become tools of religious power and manipulation. Where does that leave us, though, when we really do have visions and hear God's voice? Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons share some of their own experiences as they explore these questions.

Journey NOW debuts its fifth season with a companion series to our study of the Upside Down Kingdom in current gatherings and in Kevin Dixon's 11:00am class. Understanding Jesus' radically reversed reality is hard. It's even harder applying those principles to every part of our lives. In this premier episode, Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and host Kevin Dixon examine the three right-side-up worldly power structures that Jesus rejected. Got comments or questions?

On Sunday, we explored Mary’s cost for saying ‘yes’ to God. Journey’s roundtable discussion panel brings that calculation to their own lives: Is God truly safe when saying ‘yes’ to Him can wreak chaos? What does it mean to say ‘no’ to God? Can we truly thwart His plans for us or others? And, how do our plans and will relate to God’s plans, anyway? Got comments or questions?
