How frequently do we tell God how to answer our prayers? We get caught up in the trials and temptations of our lives, and we imagine mighty, miraculous solutions about how God should do His job! But all we're supposed to do is surrender our burdens to God in prayer—then trust Him and obey whatever He tells us to do. He's got it!

Have you ever felt like God led you the long way around? Maybe you've been praying for a breakthrough, but instead of doors opening, everything feels harder. In “How to Walk by Faith When You Can't See the Way,” Pastor James shows how sometimes God leads us through what looks impossible — not to punish us, but to prepare us. Learn how to shift your focus from your problems to God's promises, take a step before you see the way, and trust that even when you can't see Him working, He's fighting for you. Everyone helping someone take steps to follow Christ. This is the vision of Journey Church, led by Pastor James Hilton, with multiple locations throughout Central Florida. 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

It's one of the hardest questions anyone can ask: If God is good, why do bad things happen? If He's powerful enough to stop evil, why doesn't He? This week, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his message “If God Is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen?” Together, we unpack how the presence of evil doesn't disprove God—it actually points us to Him. We talk through the difference between the evil around us and the sin within us, and how Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it. We also answer some of the questions you might have been asking during the sermon: Why does God allow suffering? Why is there even evil in the world? And why are there natural disasters? If you've ever struggled to make sense of the brokenness in our world, this conversation will remind you that God's story is bigger and evil is just a chapter.

In today's message Pastor James is continuing our series in Philippians. In Chapter two we are reflecting on Jesus's humility and the how to be humble. Are there specific areas of your life that God might be calling you to 'empty yourself' for the sake of others?CONNECT WITH SHELTER COVE HERE AT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheltercove..

In this compelling sermon, we explore the concluding chapter of Paul's letter to the Philippians, uncovering the profound insights on Worship, Formation, and Glory. Through this message, we examine how generosity and giving are deeply intertwined with our spiritual formation and alignment with God's mission. Discover the true essence of contentment and how it transcends our circumstances, calling us to a life of faith and trust in Christ. As Paul shares his experiences from imprisonment, learn how his teachings challenge common misconceptions about money and inspire us to view generosity as worship and participation in the gospel. Whether you're seeking to start your journey of tithing or looking to deepen your faith, this sermon offers valuable lessons on living a life rooted in devotion and partnership with God. Join us to be inspired and transformed by the power of God's word. 

Why do bad things happen if God is good? It's a question we've all wrestled with at some point. If God is powerful enough to stop evil, why doesn't He? In “If God Is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen?”, Pastor James unpacks how evil doesn't disprove God but points us to Him. We'll see that the real problem isn't just the evil around us but the sin within us—and how Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it.

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.

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

What happens when the one job that really matters—following Jesus—is neglected? In this message, Pastor James explores Ezekiel 34 and the sobering warning to shepherds who fed themselves instead of the flock. Using vivid stories like the Titanic lookout and the Challenger disaster, he draws us to the simple yet urgent truth: only Jesus rescues. In a world clouded by chaos, division, and distraction, discover how God's Word anchors us, how the Good Shepherd pursues us, and how we can live out our “one job” with purpose and faithfulness.

In this message, Pastor James uses the metaphor of mountain climbing to explore the concept of "proskartereo," a Greek word for persistent dedication.

Ephesians 6:11-13Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
