"Selfie" - 2013 word of the year of Oxford English Dictionary defined as : ''a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website." Today's passage is taken from Luke 14:1-14 wherein we get to read about Jesus confronting a reality that not only was happening before but is still happening up to today- hypocrisy, a sense of entitlement, and selfishness. Today, we get to check our SELFie - ask ourselves, is Jesus confronting me on a sin I need to give up? Come and join us as we learn and talk about this in our continuing installment for our Series : At the Table, in our service today with the title : SELFie. #attheTABLEaplacetoGOGROWandGLOW #selfIe #ConsistencyGraceLove #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

Love compels us to act and to share. We are compelled to tell!Series: At the center of the story of God is a deep understanding that it is due to His unending unconditional love that He created us, that He came down to be with us, and ultimately that He rescued us from the lie that we can do this thing called life on our own. The love of God is beyond our comprehension, does not follow the rules, is reckless, and aggressively pursues us. It is not something that can be tamed, controlled, or fully understood. It changes how we see ourselves, how we respond to others, and how we impact the world around us. The selfless love of God takes the fullest effect when Jesus embraces the cross in order to set us free, reclaim what was lost, and show us.... that love is a wild thing. Join us as we learn to respond from Love Himself.__________________If you call Journey your home, you can give here as an act of worship.

Date: April 5, 2009; Series: At the Cross Sermon: False Advertising; Text: Mark 11:1-21 What has been termed "The Triumphal Entry" is one of the few events recorded in ALL 4 gospels - emphasizing its importance. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was a carefully orchestrated parable - in the words of theologian Robert Stein, “For Jesus the triumphal entry was a carefully orchestrated messianic act. It was a parabolic act that could be perceived by those with eyes to see but that was concealed for others.” And those with eyes to see understood the true meaning of this parable: The King is Here! Upon arriving in Kingly fashion, what are the first actions of this new King? Another parable. After His highly parabolic and symbolic entry, Jesus enacts another parable that clearly communicates His intentions of this King: He curses a fig tree and then overturns business as usual at the Temple. Jesus is clearing the way for something new, something better. He’s clearing the way so that men and women - like you and me - might truly be saved. Hosanna in the Highest!
March 22, 2009 - Series: At the Cross Sermon: No Condemnation - Luke 7:36-50; John 3:17; Romans 8:1 We’ve all seen people struggling through an airport weighed down by all the baggage they are trying to carry. People who would love to be relieved of their burden - grateful if someone removed just some of that weight from their shoulders. Today, we read the story of a woman who shows up at a dinner party carrying all sorts of baggage. The luggage of her sin weighs her down, the knowledge of what she has done bears heavily upon her heart and mind. The collective weight of her condemnation is crushing her. This morning, we sang that familiar hymn “Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” Some churches have sought to soften the message of those lyrics by changing “saved a wretch like me” to “saved someone like me.” One theologian, surprised at this change, muttered: “If I’m not a wretch, grace isn’t amazing.” The woman in this story understood how amazing grace was because she stumbled into dinner that night well aware of her wretchedness. She knew she came to the table with all her baggage and condemnation. So imagine how grateful she was to find that baggage lifted. Imagine the relief to find such amazing grace - that in Christ there is no condemnation. Imagine the joy that you too might now find.
