- [What Does It Mean to Bring Faith to the Field?](https://christjourney.org/blog/what-does-it-mean-to-bring-faith-to-the-field/): Faith is not meant to live only in quiet moments or inside church walls. In this week’s message from Genesis 2, we were reminded that faith was designed to show up in real life. It belongs in your everyday decisions, relationships, work, and responsibilities. Faith belongs on the field. Genesis 1 introduces God’s character. Genesis 2 brings the focus closer and helps us understand who we are as human beings made in God’s image. This chapter is about identity, not only where we came from, but what we were made to carry into the world. As image bearers of God, we are gifted and valuable, capable, and responsible. That means your life has purpose. You were created with potential, and you have the ability to choose the kind of person you will become by how you use what God has placed in you.
- [Why Can I Trust God?](https://christjourney.org/blog/why-can-i-trust-god/): Trust does not come easily for many of us. Our experiences, disappointments, and unanswered questions often shape how open we are to trusting anyone, including God. That is why the Bible begins not with rules, but with a story that reveals who God is and how He relates to us.
- [Trust Begins With Seeking](https://christjourney.org/blog/trust-begins-with-seeking/): Trust is rarely instantaneous. It develops over time, shaped by reflection, experience, and a willingness to engage honestly with life’s deeper questions. In a culture marked by uncertainty and skepticism, trust can feel fragile—something easily disrupted and slow to rebuild. Scripture, however, presents trust not as passive belief but as an intentional posture rooted in seeking and understanding. From the opening pages of the Bible, trust is grounded in who God is rather than in circumstances. God is presented as eternal, powerful, and purposeful—existing beyond time and creation, yet personally involved in the world. This foundation shifts trust away from outcomes and toward character. Faith begins not with having every answer, but with recognizing that trust has an object worthy of confidence. Seeking is central to this process. Scripture repeatedly frames faith as an active pursuit—asking, searching, reflecting, and responding. Curiosity is not portrayed as doubt to be avoided but as a necessary part of growth. Thoughtful inquiry deepens faith by moving it beyond assumption into conviction. Trust matures when belief is examined rather than ignored.
- [A Crisis of Trust](https://christjourney.org/blog/a-crisis-of-trust/): Trust feels harder than ever. With constant information overload, digital manipulation, and growing skepticism, many people are unsure of what is real or reliable. This struggle is not limited to personal experiences or past relationships; it reflects a broader cultural challenge. Yet Scripture reminds us that faith is not meant to be blind or uninformed. Biblical trust invites curiosity, reflection, and personal discovery. From the beginning, God has called people to “come and see,” encouraging thoughtful engagement rather than passive belief.
- [The Year of Favor: Listening, Building, Belonging](https://christjourney.org/blog/the-year-of-favor-listening-building-belonging/): As Christ Journey steps into 2026, this year is being named a year of God’s favor—a year of promise, perseverance, and reward. Scripture reminds us not to throw away our confidence, because persevering faith is met with God’s faithfulness (Hebrews 10:35–36). What began in obedience nearly 100 years ago continues today through people who listen and respond to God’s voice.Listening matters. Hearing God is not difficult—listening is a matter of desire. And in a world filled with noise, distraction, and what culture now calls a “loneliness doom loop,” the church is called to be a counter-culture of connection, hope, and belonging.Christ Journey exists for such a time as this—to lift a standard of hope, community, and courage. Like David facing Goliath, God’s people are invited to listen to Him rather than be intimidated by the size of the challenge. The battle belongs to the Lord, and He gives both the faith to persevere and the wisdom to act.As the church moves into a new season with two campuses, the vision remains clear:
- [Advent: Chains Shall He Break](https://christjourney.org/blog/advent-chains-shall-he-break/): A Treasure We Don’t Always RecognizeOne of the most extraordinary discoveries on Antiques Roadshow was a Navajo-made Ute First Phase Chief’s Blanket, woven in the mid-1800s and valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. The owner had no idea. It had been resting unnoticed on the back of a chair. The story reveals a simple truth: it’s possible to possess something priceless and never recognize its worth. This can also be true in spiritual life. Many acknowledge Jesus, yet His value remains unrealized. He is present but not treasured, known but not fully trusted—treated more like a decoration than a covering. Chief’s blankets symbolized authority, identity, and protection. They were worn by leaders who carried responsibility for their people. In the same way, Jesus did not come merely to inspire, but to lead, protect, and liberate.Christmas itself was born into conflict. Jesus entered a world shaped by violence and oppression, stepping onto a spiritual battlefield. Scripture tells us the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). The cross marked the decisive victory, securing freedom even as battles still remain. Jesus is not just a baby in a manger. He is a Liberator and Prince of Peace, inviting His people to live covered by His grace and power—not unaware of His worth, but transformed by it.
- [Advent: A Thrill of Hope](https://christjourney.org/blog/advent-a-thrill-of-hope/): Throughout history, the discovery of hidden treasure has captured the imagination. From shipwrecks off Florida’s coast to priceless artwork concealed behind false walls, these moments reveal a powerful truth: immense value can exist long before it is recognized. Treasure is often hidden in plain sight.
- [Advent: The Soul Felt Its Worth](https://christjourney.org/blog/advent-the-soul-felt-its-worth/): Read John 1:1–18Advent comes from the Latin adventus (“to come toward”) and adventūra (“what is about to happen”). It reminds us that God not only arrived in Christ but invites us into the unfolding adventure of His redeeming work.In 1848, James Marshall discovered gold by noticing a small shimmer in an ordinary ditch—proof that world-changing moments often appear quietly. Advent works the same way. Christ entered the world in humility, and it is still possible to overlook His significance when familiarity dulls our wonder.John opens his Gospel by revealing Jesus as the eternal Word through whom all things were made (John 1:1–3). The Child in the manger is the Creator Himself, who became flesh to dwell among us—an idea unimaginable to both ancient Greeks and Israelites, yet essential to God’s saving purpose.Jesus is the true Light that shines into our darkness (John 1:5, 9), revealing God’s heart, truth, and grace. Like the moment each year when the sun perfectly illuminates the Anthem Veterans Memorial, Christ reveals what has been present all along: God’s nearness, compassion, and redemptive love.Advent proclaims that a weary world can rejoice because God came near. “From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.” (John 1:16) This season also calls us to respond—through small steps of faith, generosity, and obedience—as we step into the adventure God sets before us.A new and glorious morn has dawned.
- [What is Advent?](https://christjourney.org/blog/advent-discovering-the-gold-in-our-midst/): Advent means arrival—the moment when something, or Someone, comes toward us. It’s also closely tied to the idea of adventure, “what is about to happen.” Both words carry a sense of anticipation and new beginnings. Advent is not only a remembrance of Christ’s birth; it is the invitation to recognize God drawing near again in our present moment.

But let’s be real: it can also be one of the loneliest places to live. You can be surrounded by people yet still feel unseen. For young adults, that’s especially true. Between chasing careers, navigating relationships, and figuring out faith, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget we were never meant to do life alone.
- [What’s the difference between a Gift, a Tithe and an Offering?](https://christjourney.org/blog/whats-the-difference-between-a-gift-a-tithe-and-an-offering/): What’s the difference between a Gift, a Tithe and an Offering?
A Gift is any financial donation made to and through the church. We view every gift to be an act of worship deserving to be treated as God’s money for God’s kingdom mission.
The Tithe is the way we fund all the weekly on-going minis-tries of the Church. A tithe is the first tenth of our earnings to be returned to the Lord to help underwrite the extending of God’s kingdom mission through the local church. At Christ Journey we give tithes week by week to be used in ministry as designated by the Church through our Annual Ministry Budget. Our tithes serve as fuel in the tank of our church family vehicle serving every age group funding all operations, salaries and ministries.
Tithes provide for materials, property and space needs, personnel requirements, and a host of other items essential for the worship, discipleship, community fellowship, ministry and service and outreach and mission experiences that keep our church vital. An Offering is an individual’s gift given above and beyond their tithe. Such giving is called an offering since it is given as an expression of love, and oftentimes, sacrifice on behalf of the worshiper. The anointing of Jesus (John 12:3) and the widow’s mite (Luke 21:3-4) are two expressions of offerings. Offerings are received by Christ Journey for: Building funds - from which we construct new facilities and resource them for ministry in the purchase of new equipment for children, youth and communication technology, etc.Missions – through which we do ministry in serving human needs beyond our walls with partners and in projects locally and globallyMemorials – gifts given from members and non-members alike in memory of loved ones now deceased.Other offerings – may include estates, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, real estate, insurance, and personal property. Our financial staff stand ready to assist you in all these areas.What happens to the gifts I give?
At Christ Journey, 85% of our contributions are made by digital means, 10% by check, and 5% by cash. All gifts received are processed and allocated according to the highest standards of transparency, security and accountability. To ensure that all funds are used appropriately all Christ Journey financials are:

- [What does it mean to pray without ceasing?](https://christjourney.org/blog/what-does-it-mean-to-pray-without-ceasing/): Prayer is one of the essential tools for us to prepare, and when facing opposition, even knowing that sometimes, finding a minute to focus on prayer is hard. In such a demanding world, we must take time to pray and allow our Father to guide us daily and every second of our thoughts to align ourselves with the Creator.
