Take Another Lap — what do you do when you’ve taken a step of faith, but nothing seems to change? When prayers feel unanswered and obstacles remain, how do you keep trusting God?

In this message from Journey Church, we explore Joshua and the walls of Jericho in Joshua 6. For six days, the Israelites kept walking without seeing the walls move. Their story reminds you that the first step takes courage, but continuing to trust God takes perseverance.

If you’re waiting for change in your marriage, finances, relationships, or spiritual life, this message offers encouragement to keep taking the next faithful step.

You’ll discover:
• Why taking a step of faith can lead to another obstacle
• How to trust God when you don’t see results yet
• The difference between courageous faith and persevering faith
• Why following God means releasing control of the outcome
• What it means to keep walking and leave nothing undone

You may not see what God is doing yet. Joshua couldn’t either—but he kept walking. Whatever wall you’re facing, consider the next step God is calling you to take.

This week, identify one area where you’re tempted to give up. Keep praying, keep showing up, and take another lap.

God is FOR you. And so are we.

How to trust God when you don't know what's next can feel especially difficult when life isn’t going according to plan. You want clarity. You want answers. You want to know how everything is going to work out—but sometimes, God doesn’t show you what’s next.

So how do you trust Him when you can’t see the way forward?

In this message, we look at what it means to trust God in seasons of uncertainty. You don’t have to understand the entire plan to take your next step. And you don’t have to pretend you’re not afraid in order to have faith.

You’ll discover:

• How to trust God when the future feels uncertain
• Why you don’t need all the answers to take your next step
• What to do when fear and uncertainty start taking over
• How God can guide you even when you can’t see the whole path
• Why trusting God is about who you know, not what you know

Maybe you’re facing a decision, walking through a transition, waiting for an answer, or simply wondering what comes next. You may not get a roadmap for everything ahead—but you can learn to trust the One who is already there.

You don’t have to figure out your entire future today. Focus on the next step God is putting in front of you, and trust Him with what you can’t see yet.

God is FOR you—even in the uncertainty. And you don’t have to navigate what’s next alone.

The Kind of Church Our Communities Are Waiting For asks a bigger question than whether church still matters: What kind of church does your community actually need?

People around you are searching for hope, real friendships, and a sense of purpose. And while many may feel disconnected from church, that doesn’t mean they’ve stopped searching for something more.

In this message, guest speaker Sean Badeer shares a vision for the kind of church our communities are waiting for—a church that is Jesus-centered, others-focused, and outward-facing.

You’ll discover:

• Why spiritual hunger can exist even when people feel disconnected from church
• How Jesus offers hope in the middle of uncertainty and hopelessness
• Why real relationships require us to “cover the distance” toward others
• How serving your community can change you, too
• Why an outward-facing church gives people opportunities to find purpose
• How God may be inviting you to move toward people you wouldn’t normally move toward

Following Jesus isn’t about waiting for people to come to us. It’s about meeting people where they are, building genuine relationships, bringing peace, and showing them through our lives that God is FOR them.

So ask yourself:

Where is God inviting you to move with Him?

Who could you invite, encourage, serve, or simply get to know?

The kind of church our communities are waiting for begins when ordinary people choose to move toward others with the hope and love of Jesus.

Becoming Outward-Facing means learning to notice the people you might naturally overlook. If you want to become more like Jesus, that includes becoming aware of the people around you—even those who think, live, believe, or act differently than you.

We all have biases and blind spots. The question is what we do with them.

Throughout the book of Acts, we see God repeatedly bringing outsiders into His family. Philip shares Jesus with a sorcerer in Samaria. He approaches an Ethiopian official who comes from a completely different background. And Ananias is asked to walk toward Saul—the very person he had every reason to fear.

Each story points to the same truth:

God specializes in bringing outsiders into His family.

In this message, Becoming Outward-Facing, we explore what these stories can teach you about seeing people the way Jesus does and joining God in what He is already doing around you.

You’ll discover:

• Why your blind spots can affect the way you see other people
• What the early church teaches us about including outsiders
• How Philip and Ananias moved beyond barriers and biases
• Why following Jesus means paying attention to people who aren't like you
• How a simple invitation can make a bigger difference than you realize
• Why you may be the answer to someone else’s prayer

You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need the perfect words. Becoming outward-facing can begin with something much simpler: noticing someone, caring about them, and being willing to say, “Come sit with me.”

So ask yourself this week:

Who have you been unintentionally ignoring that God wants you to notice?

Maybe it’s someone at work who has completely disengaged from church. Maybe it’s a friend who has lost hope that Jesus cares. Maybe it’s another family you see every week at your kids’ activities.

You may be one of the workers someone else has been praying for.

Our hope is to become a movement of people who remain Jesus-centered, others-focused, and outward-facing—because God is FOR the people in our communities, and we want them to know we are FOR them too.

Becoming Others-Focused is one of the simplest ways to grow closer to God. Jesus connected loving God with loving your neighbor—and when you focus on the people around you, something changes in you too.

Sometimes we make following Jesus more complicated than it needs to be. We study more, listen to more messages, and try harder to get everything right. Those things can be good, but Jesus gave us a surprisingly practical way to become more Jesus-centered: love your neighbor as yourself.

In this message from Matthew 22:37–39, we look at why becoming others focused isn't just about being a good person. It's about learning to love what God loves.

You’ll discover:

• Why loving others helps you grow closer to God
• How becoming others focused keeps you Jesus-centered
• What Jesus meant by “love your neighbor as yourself”
• Why focusing only on yourself can quietly pull you off course
• How generosity can train your heart to think about others
• How the Annual FOR Offering meets real needs in our communities and beyond

Jesus didn’t separate loving God from loving people. He connected them.

When you notice someone else's needs, serve without expecting something in return, or give generously to help your neighbors, you're putting the love of Jesus into action.

That’s what the Annual FOR Offering is all about: practicing no-strings-attached generosity and helping real people through local organizations, schools, community projects, new churches, and ministry partners.

You don't have to make getting closer to God complicated.

Start with the people around you.

Love your neighbor. Serve someone. Give generously. Become others focused.

Because staying others-focused keeps us Jesus-centered.

God is FOR you. And so are we.

Becoming Jesus-Centered means more than going to church, reading your Bible, praying, or trying harder. Those things matter—but you can do all the “right” things and still wonder, *Why don’t I feel closer to God?*

Jesus gives us a surprisingly simple answer in John 14:5–9: if you want to know God, get to know Jesus.

But knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Him.

In this message, we explore what it really means to build a relationship with Jesus that is transformational, not transactional. Becoming Jesus-centered means moving beyond collecting information about Jesus and beginning to live with His values, priorities, and love at the center of your everyday life.

You’ll discover:

* Why doing all the “right” spiritual things can still leave you feeling stuck
* The difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him
* What Jesus meant when He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”
* Why getting closer to God requires more than showing up on Sunday
* What may be competing with Jesus for the center of your life
* How taking your next step can deepen your relationship with God

Maybe comfort has become central. Maybe it’s your phone, your paycheck, your status, your security, or simply trying to handle everything on your own.

Becoming Jesus-centered doesn’t mean becoming perfect. It means making a choice, one step at a time, to move something else out of the way so you can move Jesus toward the center.

If your faith has felt stale, confusing, or disconnected lately, your answer may not be trying harder. Your next step may simply be getting to know Jesus in a deeper, more personal way.

God is FOR you. And so are we.

A New Foundation | Have your past failures become the foundation of how you see yourself? Maybe the voice in your head keeps reminding you that you're not good enough, you don't belong, or you'll never measure up. But what if that voice isn't telling you the truth?

In Week 3 of our Fixer Upper series, we explore the difference between guilt and shame—and why Jesus doesn't just forgive your failures. He gives you a brand-new foundation for your identity.

You'll discover:

• The difference between guilt and shame
• Why shame convinces you that you're unworthy of love and belonging
• What Romans 8 teaches about living free from condemnation
• How Jesus gives you a new identity instead of asking you to earn one
• Why God's love is stronger than the voice of shame
• How a secure identity leads to a more joyful, purposeful life

Many of us spend our lives trying to outrun our past, prove our worth, or hide behind a carefully crafted image. But no amount of success, approval, or achievement can silence shame.

The good news is that Jesus doesn't simply patch up your life—He rebuilds it from the foundation up.

When you begin to believe what God says about you instead of what shame says about you, everything changes. You become free to admit your failures, grow through them, and experience the life Jesus has been inviting you into all along.

This week, every time that inner voice tells you you're not enough, pause and read Romans 8:31–33. Let God's truth become louder than your shame.

Because your identity isn't built on your failures—it's built on God's love.
