Evoking Wonder thru Angels

“Many of us have barriers to anything supernatural. These barriers of wrong belief  keep us from experiencing what we read about in scripture and hope for in our prayers.” (Les) Are Angels real or imagined? Are Angels even needed, even if they are real? What should we do if we believe in Angels? In this message Pastor Les challenges us to ask, “God, open our eyes to the invisible realm around us!”   Using the Christmas story and Elisha from II…

Evoking the Wonder of Salvation

“We must remember the joy of God’s salvation, not our salvation” (Les) EVOKING THE WONDER OF SALVATION What is the greatest miracle of all time? What is the second greatest miracle? The greatest miracle of all time is the conception and birth of Jesus.  It is this ‘seed’ planting by Holy Spirit from which all other miracles stem. The second greatest miracle of all time?  The day of your salvation.  That day when Holy Spirit hovered over you and planted…

Evoking Wonder thru Declarations

“A miracle is something which would never have happened had nature, as it were, been left to its own devices” (Anthony Flew, British Atheist) A miracle evokes wonder in people.  A miracle elicits a response from those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Many people wrongly believe that they have no part in miracles.  They believe that a miracle either happens or it doesn’t.  Scripture disagrees with those people. An angel spoke to Mary and then the…

Valuing His Presence Changes Our Identity

“Jesus is never mad at you, irritated with you or wanting to take back your salvation or healing from you.  NEVER.  EVER.”  (Les) Before His conversation is over, Jesus is interrupted with the news that the daughter of Jarius has died.  Instead of comforting Jarius or feeling sorry for him, Jesus looks at him and says,  “Have faith.  Don’t be afraid.”   If you said that to most people who are sick, addicted or in relational distress today they would be…

God Always Holds His Hand Out to Us

“There is not a single place in this world or in our heart where God will not travel with us if we would only invite Him” (Les) God is always offering His hand to us.  We have an image of Him pushing us around and forcing us to do what He wants us to do but that is not a true image of our Good Father. Would you put your hand out, offer it to God and believe that He…

Valuing His Presence

“We are not waiting for God to show up. He is waiting for us to notice Him already here.”  (Les) In this message Les shares a pivotal message that is impacting the direction of his life and the life of The Journey Church. To value something means we put importance upon it and/or deem it useful.  We recognize those things that we value.  Many of us can recognize the work and voice of the enemy but few of us recognize…

Prophetic Words with Clay Nash

“The one who prays using a private “prayer language” certainly gets a lot out of it, but proclaiming God’s truth to the church in its common language brings the whole church into growth and strength.
