Helping people
WEEKEND
find and follow Christ.
FRONT AND CENTER
Thank you for choosing a seat toward the front and center of the Auditorium when we come together to worship as a community. This helps your mind and heart remain engaged as others discreetly find open seating in the back once the experience has begun.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are excited to walk together with you. If you’re new, we’d like to give you a free gift, (no strings attached), just stop by a host station.

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist Jan 11 - Feb 15 What a challenging and intriguing series this continues to be! And what a learning opportunity of outreach is before us. The disciple Peter calls believers to “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect...” (1 Peter 3:15). This month we will conclude our series with messages responding to questions of “What about Suffering and Hell?”, “Isn’t the Bible simply a book of Crazy Rules and Bigotry?” and “What Good is a ‘God’?” For further research, read the book “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist” by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek. For information on connecting with a small group for further study, contact our Connect Ministry at 305-448-4425 or through our website, ChristJourney.org/Groups.

THE ANCIENT GREEKS HAD FOUR WORDS FOR “LOVE”, each referring to a different context and meaning: agape, eros, philia, and storge. Agape is used in the Bible for unconditional love. It describes the way God loves, seeking the highest good for us without thought of self-benefit. Eros refers to the intimacy of sexual passion. In Biblical context it finds its highest and best expression between a man and woman sharing mutual commitment in holy matrimony. Philia speaks to friendship love, the kind of affection peers share. Then storge refers to the natural bond typically held by parents for their children, characterizing familial relationships. When it comes to “love” in our world, it seems we have much to learn. Confusion, controversy and failure scar our hearts in the many things we call “love”. Experience teaches us that whatever else love is, it is not easy.
NIGHT OF
WORSHIP FRIDAY 7-9P FEBRUARY 27
Hungry for an opportunity to come together and “steep” in the presence of God? Join us and bring your friends to a special night of worship and praise led by our Worship Arts team. Expect some new music, extended times of praise, and a refreshed soul. Childcare is available, but spots are limited and require reservation by February 20, unless they fill sooner. Visit ChristJourney.org/Events for more info and to make your childcare reservation.
But nothing is impossible for God. And He comes to us in love, meets us at a cross with love pouring from his head, hands, side and feet, showing us how His love never fails. He passes through the brokenness and rises triumphant in love to offer us the future that forgiveness makes possible. Whatever your relational hurts and heartaches, I’m praying you will feel the love God has for you and let Him lead you forward. He loves us just as we are. But He loves us too much to leave us that way!
