martyred4

Pastor Michael kicked off a new series yesterday called Martyred.  If you were there & heard the message he preached, then you know how powerful it was!  If you missed it, you can go to the website www.journeychurchnow.com and download the podcast. 

It’s so much easier to make other people beieve that we have it all together and portray what we think a christian should act like and look like on the outside, but God doesn’t care about all that! He wants our hearts. Have you truly given yours to Him? No matter what happens in your life, no matter the circumstances, do you have joy?  Not happiness, but joy.  The kind of joy that only comes from giving your heart completely to Him! 

Remember, God never said we would live a life free of trials & tribulation, just a way to make it through….and that way is His word and an intimate relationship with Him!        

If you heard the message, did something change inside of you? What did you think about what you heard?  Drop me a comment & tell me about it!

Along the same lines, Tony Morgan, a pastor at Newspring Church, recently posted a great post called “I’m not Sure I Like Christians” that is bound to make you think! 

Are you more concerned with religion or a true relationship with Jesus Christ? 

Only you can answer that, and only you can change it!
