Financial Oppression

Week 1

September 8, 2019 • Pastor Eric Jaffe

This message marks the Kick-off of our Great Escape series where the people of Journey Church will be taking a Journey through the Book of Exodus with a twist. Not only will we be studying the gospel implications of the book. The tension between the devils plan to keep God’s people enslaved and God’s desire to free them by sending a rescuer. But, we will also examine the major themes of the book through the lens of our finances as an act of worship. The devil's plans haven’t changed he wanted to enslave the Jewish people and make them work so hard that they couldn’t worship God fully because they were always enslaved. God’s desire was to free them and get them to the promised land where they could freely worship Him. How will all of this play out? Well, you will have to read the book of Exodus as well as join us for this exciting story about a Great Escape!

Land Flowing with Milk and Honey

October 27, 2019 • Pastor Eric Jaffe

The children of Israel have finally made it to the promised land. What would some of the first things God would say to them be? In this message we will explore how making it into the land is not an end, but a new beginning and what that means for our lives today!

Giants in the Land

October 20, 2019 • Pastor Eric Jaffe

Throughout the course of this message series we have been taking a journey with the Jewish people from Egypt towards the Promised Land. Egypt was a place of bondage and the promised land would be a place of freedom. Yet just as they can see the promised land on the horizon and are about to enter in one final challenge emerges. There are giants occupying the land. Border bullies who would prevent them from receiving what God has for them. Would they walk in by faith or would they retreat in fear? Listen on to hear the outcome.

The Golden Calf

October 13, 2019 • Pastor Joey Bushe

In this message, Pastor Joey will continue following the journey of the Israelites and their Exodus from Egypt. God has poured blessings upon the people of Israel, guiding their step each way and providing for every need. Upon leaving Egypt they were even blessed with all the riches of Egypt. Yet, like the people of Israel, it is interesting how we sometimes use the blessings of God, maybe even to the point of worshiping the blessing itself over God. In this message we will learn from the mistakes of God’s chosen people and discuss how to be biblical stewards of His blessings.
