This week’s message, “Building with Purpose,” celebrates 10 years of Journey Church and calls us to focus on what truly matters—not just building projects or programs, but building people. Using Nehemiah as a guide, Pastor Vince reminds us that our mission is deeper than walls or numbers—it’s about making disciples who become more like Jesus and help others do the same. Let’s build a legacy of faith, unity, and purpose that outlives us, empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach and disciple the next generation

This week’s message from Nehemiah reminds us that God’s greatest work isn’t about better resources or strategies, but about unity—moving from a “me” mentality to a “we” mentality. When God’s people come together, the impossible becomes possible, lives are changed, and the world sees God at work. Let’s be people who build unity and lead with integrity, knowing the true mission is always about people, not just projects.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, divided, or overwhelmed by obstacles—whether in your family, church, or community—this message from Nehemiah is for you. Discover practical wisdom on overcoming distractions, handling conflict, and leading with integrity, all while learning how unity can accomplish what division never could.

In this second message, we dive into what it means to “build with security” in our spiritual lives, inspired by the story of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls. Pastor Vince Farrell unpacks how God calls us not only to build strong foundations but also to protect what He’s building—whether that’s our faith, relationships, or families.

We’ll discuss:

- Why boundaries aren’t restrictions but God’s way to protect what matters most
- How the “gates” of our lives—our minds, hearts, and relationships—determine what has access to our spiritual growth
- The importance of clearing out the “rubble” of past hurts, unforgiveness, and destructive patterns before we can rebuild
- The role of accountability and trusted voices as our spiritual “watchtowers,” providing perspective and protection
- Practical steps for setting up boundaries, removing rubble, and inviting others into our journey so we’re not building alone

Join us as we reflect on how to guard what God is doing in our lives and take intentional steps toward lasting spiritual health and flourishing.

What if the life you're building is missing the foundation it truly needs?

In the book of Nehemiah, a heartbroken man received devastating news about Jerusalem's ruins—and instead of scrolling, numbing, or blaming, he wept, fasted, and prayed for four months before God revealed his next step.

Pastor Vince unpacks how prayer, planning, and preparation aren't separate acts—they're one faithful rhythm. This message is for every builder at Journey Church: your marriage, your family, your future. Don't miss what God is building *in* you before he builds *through* you.

What if the fire God placed in your life is slowly going out—not because of some dramatic failure, but simply because no one is tending the flame? Maria Diaz concludes this message series by opening up this powerful message in Romans 13:1–10 by revealing that all authority ultimately flows from God as Creator, and that submission to lawful authority is, at its core, submission to God Himself.

Maria challenges the modern impulse toward rebellion, soberly reminding us that "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft" (1 Samuel 15:23), leaving us exposed and unprotected. With rare pastoral vulnerability, she confesses her own struggles with attitude and repentance, making this message feel less like a lecture and more like a conversation with a trusted guide. The call lands close to home: we are all "Keepers of the Flame," responsible for reciprocating honor, love, and faithfulness to those God has placed in authority over us—just as David's mighty men vowed to protect the lamp of Israel.

Don't wait until the wick is cold. Pour in fresh oil, trim the flame, and commit today to honoring the spiritual authorities God has placed in your life.

What if the very calling God placed on your life required you to lay it down completely? Dr. Dale opens with a striking image from 1 Corinthians 4:9-16—"God has displayed us, the apostles last, as men condemned to death"—painting a portrait of apostolic ministry not as a climb toward a corner office, but as a descent into sacrificial service. Where the world lifts up the spiritual CEO, Dr. Dale challenges us with Jesus's own words: true greatness in the kingdom means becoming a servant of all. With vivid clarity, he unpacks four marks of a spiritual gladiator: apostolic ministry is rooted in serving, not being served; apostolic authority cannot be manufactured—only God ordains it; genuine spiritual covering brings protection and favor to those who submit to it; and the honor we extend to God-appointed authority directly determines the miracles we receive.

Drawing from Mark 6, he shows how Jesus's own hometown missed their miracle moment simply because they refused to honor him. Don't let familiarity, church politics, or pride cause you to step out from under the spiritual covering God has placed over your life—align yourself with His authority, and watch what He does next.

What if the key to unlocking greater spiritual potential lies not in striving harder, but in recognizing the authority God has already placed around you? In this powerful message from our Spiritual Authority series, Dr. Dale unpacks six transformative fruits of apostolic ministry—from unity and ordaining new ministers to conquering nations and miraculous finances—revealing how true spiritual fathers, like Paul with Timothy, impart gifts that change destinies.

Drawing from decades of ministry experience, Dr. Dale shows how submitting to God-appointed authority allows these fruits to flow naturally through your life.

What if the secret to greater impact isn't doing more—but doing less? Pastor Manny reveals a transformative truth: God's "law of limits" isn't a restriction, but a protection. Like an umbrella shielding us from rain, staying within our God-appointed sphere keeps us covered and empowered.

Drawing from Paul's bold declaration in 2 Corinthians 10 about honoring his specific calling, Pastor Manny shows how embracing measured spheres, grace, and faith unlocks fulfillment—while overstepping invites burnout and spiritual vulnerability. Discover why focusing on what God specifically called *you* to do is your greatest strength.
