JOURNEY 2 HOPE

Watch the video trailer....

February 29: Who is on this journey with you? How can people encourage or discourage you when the going gets tough? This segment tackles the importance of being involved in faith friendships and learning to lean on Christ as the ultimate Friend.


March 4: Identity and self-esteem can make or break the journey. Do you base your identity on who people say you are, or who you know God created you to be? Finding a firm foundation in who you are called to be will help you overcome obstacles.


March 11: We all rely on work to meet the financial needs incurred in our journey, but how can work itself be realized as a joyful destination? The disciples gave up all of their things to live out their passion for Christ. Many of us give up all of our passions to have ―things. How can we find a balance?


March 18: When we get tired along the way, it is tempting to stop or turn around. To go the distance, we must learn to ―refuel. Prayer (personal and communal) is one means to build strength as Christ illustrates even in His most difficult times.


March 25: Money is a means of exchange for something that we want. Any journey requires ―purchases along the way. Do you have a healthy relationship with money? In other words, do you have money, or does money have you? We will encounter scriptures that illustrate both (The Rich Young Ruler & The Widow’s Mite) and focus on Christ’s response.


April 1: On this Palm/Passion Sunday, we will ―flashback to the accolades which were given to Christ upon His triumphant entry to Jerusalem. Would we have started this journey, if we had realized the pain along the way? When hope seems most elusive, it may be just around the corner.


April 5 - Maundy Thursday: Community was gathered around the table with Christ the night before He gave Himself up to be crucified. As we remember this important gathering, we too gather around tables, sharing the cup and breaking bread with one another in an experiential Lord’s Supper.



April 6 - Good Friday: It is easy to point fingers at those who betrayed Christ (Judas and Peter), yet we all have participated in denying Him in various ways. As we think about the journey we’ve taken, we recognize our own shortcomings, but also the message that in the darkest of times, God’s light still beckons us to Hope.


April 8 - Easter: When all hope feels lost, it has truly just begun. The journey continues.
