Fear Doesn't Win | The Breakdown Fear is real—fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of what others think. And in the past few weeks, it feels like fear has been louder than ever. But here's the good news: fear doesn't get the final word. This week, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his sermon “Fear Doesn't Win.” Together, we unpack the message, dive deeper into what it means for our everyday lives, and answer some of the questions you may have been asking as you listened this weekend. Why does God send us into places where we feel weak? How can we trust Him when fear feels overwhelming? And how do we live with courage knowing His power has no limits? If you've been wrestling with worry, doubt, or anxiety, this episode will remind you that God's presence never leaves and His care frees us from fear's control. https://journeyconnect.org  Website: https://journeyconnect.org  Facebook: http://facebook.com/journeyconnect Instagram: https://instagram.com/journeyconnect/ To support Journey Church's mission and help us transform lives both locally and globally, visit: https://journeyconnect.org/giving

Obedience. Why is it so hard to do what God tells us, when we know it's the right thing? Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?” Matthew 16:24-26 NLT

In this series, we will be exploring the mission and vision we believe God is inviting Journey Church into in the upcoming years. Week two is about the first part of our vision: To be a welcoming and gracious family grounded in the Word of God and the Story of His love.Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 28, 2025   Referenced Scripture: John 10:3-5, 1 Kings 19:11-13, Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 8:9-11, Ephesians 4:14-17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Galatians 5:19-23   Reflection Questions: 1. Share a story from your life where you experienced hearing the Holy Spirit whisper to you?  What gave you confidence that you were hearing from the Holy Spirit?   2. In your experience, what makes hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit difficult or confusing?  How confident are you that you are actually hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit in your day to day life?  What questions do you have about how to hear His whispers?   3. What things in your life create “noise” that make hearing the Holy Spirit more difficult?  What could you do to lower the “noise” in your life?   READ: Galatians 5:19-2319 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.   4. What fruit do you observe in your life from the flesh and/or from the Spirit?  What evidence do you see in the culture, in the church, and in your life that we may be living in the flesh?   5. How would the church be different if it was characterized by the fruit of the Spirit? How might the church be viewed differently by those outside the church that don't follow Jesus?   6. How does our engagement in the voice of the world (marketing, news media, social media, podcasts, entertainment, etc.) affect the formation of our souls?  How much time do you spend each day listening to these voices vs. time in the Word, prayer, and with the Body of Christ?  What are the implications to your soul?   What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

The good news is—fear doesn't get the final word. In “Fear Doesn't Win,” Pastor James reminds us that while fear has limits, God has none.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 21, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 7:21-25, Romans 8:5-8, John 16:8, Romans 8:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 10:5, James 5:16, Galatians 6:7-9 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together, pg. 112 Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him…. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person. Reflection Questions: Romans 7:21-25 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!... 1. In Romans 7, Paul describes his internal battle with sin. How would you describe your own battle to overcome sin in your life? 2. Paul uses the term “flesh” to describe what we are battling against. How would you define “flesh” as Paul uses it in the Bible? 3. The battle is between our flesh and the Spirit. Paul says the battleground is the MIND. Why is the mind so important? How does sin often start in our mind(thoughts)? Explain. Romans 8:13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 4. How can we put to death sin in our life by the power of the Holy Spirit? John 16:8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong (conviction) about sin and righteousness and judgment… Romans 8:1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 5. What is the difference between Conviction and Condemnation? Why is conviction a good thing and condemnation a bad thing? How can we experience conviction while at the same time not experience condemnation? 6. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “flesh”? Describe. Give examples. 7. What does it mean to have our mind set on the “Spirit”? What are things that the Spirit draws our attention to? 8. What is your mind set on? How can we know what our mind is set on? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Mike Feamster was born in West Virginia, where his early years were shaped by a love of sports before music became his greatest passion. He played his first gig at just eight years old and went on to perform in cover bands throughout his youth in West Virginia.A 1989 graduate of Greenbrier East High School, Mike also developed a strong interest in Drum Corps International (DCI) during that time. That same year, he enlisted in the United States Army, proudly serving for a decade, including during Operation Joint Endeavor in Germany and Hungary.In 1993, Mike relocated to Roanoke, Virginia, where he began working with the RMH Police Department before starting a career as a tractor-trailer driver for several companies. Throughout his professional life, music remained a constant. He played drums in churches and with accomplished worship teams, a path that eventually led him to Journey Church, where he continues to serve as part of the worship ministry.In 2019, Mike launched his own bathroom renovation business, which he still operates today. His life reflects a balance of service, music, hard work, and faith, and he remains grateful for the opportunities and people who have shaped his journey.

Why is it important to understand what God has provided for us in His indwelling Holy Spirit and how to experience Him? (His person/power/and presence) 2. Why do you think many followers of Jesus have confusion around the person and work of the Holy Spirit? How have you experienced confusion? What are questions you still have about the Holy Spirit? 3. One of the themes of Romans 8 is the assurance of salvation that we receive from the Holy Spirit.

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | August 24, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Ruth 3 Big Idea: God is a creative provider because at His core He is a God of Hesed…Ruth did it; Boaz did it; and we can do it too! Reflection Questions: 1. What did you learn from Ruth Chapter 3 and how did that impact/help you?2. How has Ruth, the person, challenged or affirmed your perception of female roles? (For instance she proposed to Boaz…)3. How uncomfortable are you with Boaz being in “good spirits” and Ruth, all dolled up, lying down next to him rather intimately?4.

Life often feels like it moves faster than we can catch up—but what if peace isn't in controlling every moment, but in trusting Him to orchestrate the right one?  In “Being In God's Timing Produces Peace,” Pastor Billy Island teaches us that when life feels out of control, peace seems out of reach. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that God makes everything beautiful in its time. When we stop striving to make life happen on our own terms and start trusting His timing, that's when true peace begins.

Can you really have it all—and still feel empty? In Ecclesiastes 1–2, King Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest man in history, wrestled with that exact question. He built, achieved, acquired, and indulged in every pleasure, only to discover it was all “meaningless…a chasing after the wind.” In “You Can Have It All and Still Regret It,” Pastor James explores Solomon's journey to uncover why chasing success, pleasure, and possessions still leaves us restless—and how true fulfillment is only found in God.
