531 Initiative: Conflux Montments

Have you ever had those moment when you undeniably knew that God's presence and action were with you? We call these 'conflux moments' and we have them all the time. We just need to take the time to reflect on our lives and recognize these moments. Listen as Pastor Jarrod shares some conflux moments in his life and the life of the church during this second installment of our 5321 Initiative worship series. 

531 Initiative: Breakthrough Prayer

This week, we begin a new worship series about breakthrough prayer. Listen as Pastor Jarrod shares about this prayer which asks God to remove barriers and open doors to new opportunities, new life, and new power to do immeasurably more than we could ever imagine!

Christmas Eve: ”The Light Has Come”

What a wonderful time of year to celebrate the birth of a savior. It's time we remember that the light of Christ resides in each one of us.

The Heart That Grew Three Sizes

In the conclusion of our Advent series, Pastor Jarrod shares about the redemption of the Grinch and how his heart grew three sizes. Maybe our hearts can also grow in this season.

When You‘re Sure You‘re Right

There are times when we think we're so right, only to find out that we aren't. Maybe you can think of times when things didn't go just the way we wanted them, but that's ok. In this season of Advent and Christmas, our celebrations might now go perfectly, but rest assured, Christmas will still come.

Looking the Part

What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? What might others think about taking away from you if they wanted to make you forget about Christmas? What if those things were missing, could you still celebrate?

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's the first Sunday of Advent, and this week we begin a series focusing on the Grinch. This week we will talk about how the past couple of Christmas's have not been the most wonderful. Let's talk about the Grinch's feelings toward Christmas and the reasons he might want to take all of the Who's things.

Dual Citizenship

We live in this life in two different kingdoms. We have our earthly life, but also participants in God's Kingdom. Pastor Jarrod shares about this Kingdom on this Christ the King Sunday.

Just Keep Swimming

Perseverance is something that we need when facing the storms of life. Listen as Pastor Jarrod shares about how Journey of Hope has persevered over the past year through some difficult times and gives insight into how we can persevere in our lives going forward.
