We all have those spots -- and how we respond to them is critical to our ability to live into the fullness of who God calls us to be. In other words, how we respond to our sense of inadequacy is a deep spiritual issue. So this Sunday we'll explore what the scriptures teach about feelings of inadequacy. https://lifejourney.church/sermons/07-05-26/ https://lifejourney.church/sermons/07-05-26/#respond Sun, 05 Jul 2026 18:32:44 +0000 https://lifejourney.church/?post_type=sermons&p=30257 https://lifejourney.church/sermons/07-05-26/feed/ 0 Rev.

The basic idea is that the Holy Spirit has deliberately and strategically infused you with certain extraordinary gifts which, when activated, empower you to make a profound difference in the world. Do you know what your gifts are and how to wield them? https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-21-26/ https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-21-26/#respond Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:05:34 +0000 https://lifejourney.church/?post_type=sermons&p=30239 https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-21-26/feed/ 0 Rev. Jeff Miner 0:00 info@lifejourney.church (LifeJourney Church)noOn Sunday, Pastor Jeff resumes our sermon series about the Holy Spirit. Most of us often feel discouraged by the gap between the person we are and the person we aspire to be. Especially when facing stressful situations, we often fall short. So this week we'll explore the practical means by which the Holy Spirit can empower us to become the beautiful person we aspire to be.lifejourney,church,gay,lgbt,affirming,church,gay,friendly,church https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-14-24/ https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-14-24/#respond Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:04:24 +0000 https://lifejourney.church/?post_type=sermons&p=30232 https://lifejourney.church/sermons/06-14-24/feed/ 0 Rev.

Do you find yourself frustrated with all kinds of things you can't change about yourself, others, or in the circumstances around you? The Bible teaches we have a power source that's powerful beyond our wildest imagination. It's called the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the nature of that power? And how can we tap into it? That's what we'll discuss this Sunday in the third installment of our in-depth study of the Holy Spirit. https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-24-26/ https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-24-26/#respond Sun, 24 May 2026 17:39:58 +0000 https://lifejourney.church/?post_type=sermons&p=30211 https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-24-26/feed/ 0 Rev.

So this Sunday we will, as we wrap up our sermon series on "The Dark Side of Spiritual Life." We will explore questions like: Does there really need to be a place like Hell? If so, why does it need to be a place of torture? And why would God keep people there forever and ever with no hope? You may be surprised by what the Bible says about these questions. Put on your thinking cap and join us on Sunday. https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-10-26/ https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-10-26/#respond Sun, 10 May 2026 17:42:33 +0000 https://lifejourney.church/?post_type=sermons&p=30197 https://lifejourney.church/sermons/05-10-26/feed/ 0 Rev.

In other words, what makes something a sin in the eyes of God? This Sunday we'll tackle that question -- and you're probably going to be surprised. This may be the most important sermon you've never heard.
