July

AUG 10-11

at Christ Journey

People are looking to you. Whether it’s your children, co-workers, employees or classmates, people are looking to you because you are leading. We might not consider ourselves leaders, but we are leading our families, our businesses, and even those who simply look at the way we live. Now, more than ever, Miami needs great leaders. For most, great leadership isn’t something we are born with; it’s something we learn, develop and grow. The Global Leadership Summit is a world-class experience designed for leaders (that’s you!) who want to get better and unlock their potential.

This year, Christ Journey will once again be hosting The Global Leadership Summit in our Coral Gables and Kendall campus locations. As a premier host site our members and regular attenders have a special rate of $89 by July 11, or $119 after. Simply use the promo code: PHS17TEAM We look forward to sharpening our skills alongside you at this year’s Global Leadership Summit.

Visit MiamiGLS.com for more information on the GLS, faculty and to register.

GIVE

LOCAL

Jesus called them, “the least of these my brothers and sisters.” We call them the incarcerated, illiterate, improvised or hungry. He went on to say, “When we refused the hungry, thirsty, those without clothes, the sick and those in prisons,” we refused doing this for HIM. Your Give Local offering doesn’t refuse those who have needs. Working with our Local Partners: Agape Family Ministries, CRU/AIA, Feed Miami, The Glory House of Miami, Touching Miami with Love, South Florida Jail Ministries and City Serve we are serving the very people Jesus spoke about.

Pick up a Give Local Card, decide on an amount per family member, give online or using an envelope and watch what God does through your generosity.

TRUTH

“All truth is God’s truth.” So I learned in seminary. This is Our Father’s world.

The natural truth of General Revelation discovered in the empirical realm owes its very existence to the True and Living God. As Romans 11:36 affirms “For from him through him and to him are all things.”

“But not all truth is Saving Truth.” This is where Special Revelation comes in. How God has revealed Himself for our redemption across human history; His chosen people, His covenant, His incarnation in Christ, and today through the Spirit led ministry of the gospel and His Church on mission.

These Truth Streams collide in our July message series At the Movies as we enter the intersection of faith and culture to see how the timeless truths of God’s Word are seen and applied in the timeliness of some of today’s popular movies.

The Bible is a trustworthy and tried resource of truth that sets us free, but the greatest test of that truth is in the living.

Your Pastor,

Bill White

SERVE AT CHRIST JOURNEY “It’s who we are, it’s what we do.”

Luis, Althea, Aaron or Maria; you may not know them by name, but they are just a few of the many volunteers who make Christ Journey Church the kind of church people love to attend. They put into practice our Generosity value, “We give our time, talents and treasures,” each week to join God where He is at work on our multiple campuses. They have discovered that we are never more like Christ than when we serve. It was Jesus himself who said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Our volunteers give their time to make our Church a place where people can find and follow Jesus Christ. Have you volunteered yet? It’s easy, just fill out the Serve at Christ Journey form, and drop it in the offering containers, tithe boxes or drop it off at the Café. We will take it from there and help you find something you will love doing.
