Bold and Bright Do not be afraid; your prayer has been heard 
I have been sent to speak to you and share this good news:  Be on the lookout for angels, for there is a message coming for you. 
So, do not be afraid. You have found favor with God. I know that you have been waiting, longing for a change. I know that you feel insecure, even unworthy. Though you feel far off, you are not forgotten. Do not be afraid.
The Spirit is at work and the light is coming.
 Even the darkest neighborhoods will illuminate with great joy for all people. And they will proclaim: Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
and the earth will shine bold and bright. __________________ If you call Journey your home, you can give here as an act of worship.

How being thankful all year long has an impact on our lives. Series: We have so much to be thankful for — yet every year around this time, we start to rack our brains asking, “What am I thankful for?” This is not the life that Jesus wants for us — a life where it’s hard to recall what we are thankful for. God has blessed us abundantly, but sometimes (especially during months other than the one that involves turkey) we are too preoccupied wishing that things were different or complaining about what we’re stuck with. We miss out on the overwhelming amount that God has given us. Join us as we remind ourselves that we have A Lot to be Thankful for! __________________ If you call Journey your home, you can give here as an act of worship.

We can understand and experience true success in our finances as we pray. Series: There are a good number of us that when we are asked to pray, really have no idea where to start. Often we reduce prayer to a small trite thing, thinking that praying creates little to no real impact into the problems that we face, except for maybe the fact that internally we feel a bit safer. But the reality is that when we pray, we are tapping into the same source that brought all things into existence, the same source that raised Jesus back to life. Through the victories that Jesus claims: his healing of the sick, his redemption for those that were lost, countless miracles, and his conquering of death, what we come to realize is that Jesus Wins. This understanding changes the way we pray. It changes how often we pray, how consistently we pray. Jesus leads the way by allowing His Win to become Our Win and in turn gives us the understanding that if we partner with God, the only option is victory. __________________ If you

The primary color of the week is “Go,” reflecting on Jesus’ last words to the disciples in Matthew 28:18-20. Series: From finger paintings and watercolors, to even the most detailed and intricate works on a canvas, all are created by mixing the basics — the essential primary colors. Through red, yellow, and blue all other colors can be created. Just like primary colors on a painter’s palette, we can keep key monumental statements found in the scriptures close at hand, mixing and blending, and allowing God to bring the full spectrum of his truth into our lives. Without these primary concepts we are at a lack, missing the potential to be used to our fullest. God wants to expand our color palette, by adding these essential concepts into the core of who we are, and in turn, open us up to endless beauty and creativity. __________________ If you call Journey your home, you can give here as an act of worship.
