Clothed With Joy

The Church was never meant to be just a place we attend. It's a community of people empowered by Jesus to bring hope, transformation, and the love of God into a broken world.In this special Vision Sunday message, Pastor Scott shares the power of the Church and the important role each of us plays in God's mission. Through Scripture, we discover that every believer has been uniquely gifted and called to move beyond simply receiving to actively serving, giving, and making a difference.Join us as we celebrate what God has done through Journey Church this past year and look ahead with faith and expectation for all that's still to come.You are the Church, and God has a purpose for you in it.

What if the secret to living confidently isn’t believing in yourself more, but learning to depend on God more?In this message, “You Got This,” we explore the two traps that can keep us from fulfilling God’s purpose: believing we can do everything on our own and believing we’re not capable of doing what God has called us to do.Through 2 Corinthians 12:9, we’re reminded that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. We don’t have to rely on our own strength, abilities, or understanding because His grace is sufficient for us.The pressure is off. It’s not about what you can do, but what God can do through you.So whatever you’re facing today, lift your eyes to heaven and remember: “You Got This.”

God’s grace was never intended to give us permission to stay in sin. It was designed to give us the power to overcome it.In this message, Pastor Scott Baugh explores the life-changing power of God’s grace and the danger of using it as an excuse to remain in destructive patterns. Through Scripture, we discover how grace frees us from the guilt of our past, strengthens us in our present struggles, and leads us toward genuine repentance and transformation.If you’ve ever struggled with doing what you know is right, felt weighed down by past mistakes, or wondered what it really means to live under God’s grace, this message is for you.God doesn’t expect perfection, but He does invite us into freedom. His grace meets us where we are, but it loves us too much to leave us there.Scripture References: Romans 6–8, James 4:6, Romans 2:4Learn more about Journey Church at journeychurch.com.

Is it possible to be alive in Christ but still live like you’re dead?In the story of Lazarus in John 11, Jesus calls a dead man back to life. But when Lazarus steps out of the tomb, he’s still wrapped in his grave clothes. He’s alive, but he’s not yet walking in freedom.For many of us, the same is true. We’ve experienced the life-changing power of Jesus, yet we’re still holding on to old habits, past hurts, shame, or lies that keep us bound.In this message, we discover what it means to take off our grave clothes, step into our new identity in Christ, and surround ourselves with people who help us walk in freedom.Jesus didn’t just call you out of the grave. He called you into a new life.

We know that worship, prayer, and reading God’s Word are important, but what about the way we handle our money?In this message, Pastor Scott Baugh explores what Scripture teaches about tithing and generosity, revealing how our giving honors God, advances His Kingdom, and shapes our hearts. Discover why putting God first in our finances is about more than money, it’s about worship, trust, and investing in what matters for eternity.Key Scriptures: Proverbs 3:9–10, Matthew 6:19–24, Malachi 3:10

When life feels heavy, what does it mean to clothe yourself with joy? In this message at Journey Church, guest speaker Dan Lian invites us to turn our attention toward God and the joy found in Him. Listen and be encouraged as you navigate whatever this season holds.

Jesus invites us to cast our cares on him, but what does that mean for the responsibilities we still have? In Part 2 of Weight of the World, Pastor Scott talks about the difference between worrying about what only God can do and taking action on what God has called us to do today. Through examples from work, marriage, and finances, we’ll learn to work on what we can and trust God with what we cannot control.

Life can feel heavy. We carry the pressure of uncertain futures, difficult relationships, financial needs, painful experiences and responsibilities we were never meant to hold alone.In Part 1 of Weight of the World, Pastor Scott shares how Jesus invites us to take the weight off by shifting our focus, remembering God’s past faithfulness and trusting Him with our future. Through Matthew 6, we’re reminded that God sees us, values us and cares about everything weighing us down.You don’t have to carry the weight of tomorrow today. Fix your eyes on Jesus, cast your cares on Him and trust that He is already at work.

Every day, countless voices compete to shape what we think, believe and do. But how can we distinguish truth from misinformation and the voice of God from the noise around us? Through John 7:14–24, this message explores how Jesus teaches us to discern both the messenger and the message. We’ll learn why the source matters, how surrender affects our ability to recognize truth and why spiritual discernment requires more than judging by appearances. The goal isn’t to become more suspicious. It’s to become more familiar with the voice of the Good Shepherd. As we slow down, stay rooted in Scripture and remain surrendered to Jesus, we become better equipped to recognize what is true and reject what is counterfeit.

Temptation is inevitable, but it is resistible. You don’t have to give in just because temptation shows up.Through the story of Joseph in Genesis 39, we discover three responses that can help us overcome temptation: recognize it, refuse it, and run from it. We’ll talk about identifying our vulnerabilities, refusing to negotiate with sin, taking the way of escape God provides, and preparing ourselves through God’s Word and prayer.Joseph gives us an example to follow, but Jesus gives us a Savior to trust. Because of Him, we don’t have to fight temptation in our own strength, we can walk in the freedom He provides.
