“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus
Lose Your Life to Find It…
It doesn’t make sense…until you try it. Jesus taught us that “Those who try to gain their own life will lose it; but those who lose their life for my sake will gain it” (Matthew 10:39 GNT). It’s in serving others that we often find our purpose. Through serving, we demonstrate our love for God and for other people. It also helps us to grow in our walk with God as we seek to emulate our Savior.
In order to make a family work smoothly, everyone has responsibilities. At Journey, we encourage ownership of the vision. Part of bringing heaven to earth means we all share in the responsibility of doing God’s work. Our desire is for each person to find their niche and move from a consumer to a contributor.
We help people do this through our Next Steps Class. During part three, you will learn your personality profile and discover your spiritual gifts in order to help you find your best fit.
Please let us know which one of the following areas captures your interest:
