What happens when the emotion wears off and life gets real?
In ‘You Thought It Was Faith... But It Was Just Hype,’ Pastor James teaches us that we see the difference between hype and true faith. Jesus didn’t come to fit into our plans—He came to lead us into His. Real faith isn’t built on control or comfort—it’s built on trust. And when we see Jesus clearly, we can trust Him completely, even when the storm is raging.

Have you ever felt like what you have just isn’t enough? Like what you have to way to small to even make the slightest impact?
In “When You Feel Like You Don’t Have Enough,” Pastor James teaches us that Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with a little boy’s lunch—showing us that what feels small in our hands can become more than enough in His.

Do you find it hard to believe in the things you can’t see? What do you do when you can’t see the miracle—but Jesus already said it’s done?
In “I Don’t See It… But He Said It,” Pastor James teaches us that God’s word still works, even when you can’t see it yet. Faith moves forward on His promise, not just visible proof.

Have you ever asked someone, “Do you trust me?” It’s a question that we’ve all asked at least once in our lives. But what if God asked you that same questions?
In “Do You Trust Me,” Shana Hilton shares that we often struggle to trust God because of fear, lack of time spent with Him, or the belief that our way is better. But true peace and direction come when we surrender control, immerse ourselves in His Word, and acknowledge that God's ways are higher.

Are you running low—on patience, strength, or hope? What if the answer isn’t in pushing harder, but in trusting deeper?
In this message, “Jesus Did What At A Wedding?”, Pastor John unpacks Jesus’ first miracle at a wedding in Cana, where He turned water into wine. It's more than a party trick—it's a powerful reminder that when you invite Jesus into your situation and trust His timing, He can take what feels empty and fill it with purpose. Don’t just chase the miracle—follow the One behind it.

Have you ever read a story in the Bible and said to yourself, ‘Jesus Did What?’ Well, that’s exactly what this new message series is talking about! Join us as we walk through the miracles Jesus did that made the people around Him ask, “Did Jesus just do that?"
In "Jesus Did What in the Water?", Pastor James teaches us that we see that Jesus didn’t just step into the water to be baptized—He came to take away our sin and give us new life through His Spirit. John the Baptist points to Jesus as the Lamb of God and God's Chosen One. Baptism is our response, an outward sign of the inward transformation Jesus makes possible.

What did Jesus leave behind in the tomb, and why should we care?
In ‘What Jesus Left Behind,’ Pastor James teaches us that the empty tomb isn’t just an empty tomb—it’s a powerful invitation to freedom. When Jesus left the grave clothes behind, He showed us that we don’t have to stay bound by what once held us. Whether it’s anger, anxiety, addiction, shame, or hopelessness, the resurrection proves that we can step into new life. Because Jesus walked out of the grave, we can walk out of anything.

Have you ever broken something and instead of admitting that you broke it, you just try to fix it yourself? We do this with objects but have you ever done that with yourself? You’ve messed up and you’ve tried to fix yourself?
In “The Hustle To Fix Yourself,” Pastor James teaches us that our greatest failures can become the foundation of deep faith when we stop striving and start trusting. Jesus doesn’t turn away from our failure—He turns toward us with grace.

Do you ever struggle with pretending to be someone you’re not? Or maybe you compare yourself to others and you’re trying to be like them, and once that happens then everyone will like you. You will now be chosen first, seen, and loved.
In “The Huste For Likes,” Pastor James teaches us when we chase after likes, approval, and validation from others, we often lose sight of the love that’s already ours in Christ. The hustle ends when we stop performing for love and start living from it.

Have you ever made a mistake and looked back and said to yourself “What was I thinking?” You thought you were making the right choice at the moment, but then you look back and you see that it was a huge mistake, or maybe just a temporary fix?
In “The Hustle To Satify Yourself,” Pastor James teaches us that when we chase temporary desires, we risk distorting our purpose and trading our God-given identity for something far less. But Jesus didn’t come to take away our satisfaction—He came to be it.

Have you ever felt like a failure, or unworthy, or felt like you needed to keep achieving in order to measure up?
In “The Hustle To Measure Up,” Pastor James teaches us that we don’t have to keep running on the treadmill to prove ourselves. Our worth does not come from what we have done but from what Christ has done in and through us. We can rest in Him and what He has done.

How much sleep did you get last night? Not enough. How much money did you make? Not enough.
Have you ever felt like you needed more, that you can’t get enough? In “The Hustle For More,” Pastor James teaches us that we're constantly hustling for more—more security, more success, more certainty—forgetting that God has already provided everything we truly need. The hustle ends where trust begins, so will you release the chase for "more" and start living like you're already provided for?

Feeling exhausted from the hustle of life? Do you take a vacation but still feel exhausted when you get back? Or do you feel like you’ve got to keep hustling to prove your worth?
In “The Hustle To Prove Yourself,” Pastor James teaches us that Jesus offers us real rest - not one based on achievements, but on His finished work. Let go of the hustle and rest in Him.

Do you ever wish you had a remote control that controls the noise in your life? Then, you could mute the negativity and the anxiety in your life! But that’s not reality, but you can turn down the noise.
In “How To Turn Down The Noise,” Pastor James teaches us that we have to let go of the things we can’t control and begin to give them to God. Let God be God, and give him the remote, you can’t control everything. But He has control over all things.

What’s your story? What do you tell yourself over and over again? Do you ask yourself if it is helpful, or if it’s true?
In “What’s Your Story,” Pastor James teaches us that we can’t control the events that happen in our lives, but we can control the thoughts that come out of those events. Let God write your story and begin to tell yourself what He says, not the lies that you tell yourself.

Do you ever feel alone, or overwhelmed by your negative thoughts? Do you tend to run from other people and isolate yourself, or do you feel as though you don’t want to be a burden so you go into self-preservation mode?
In “How Did I Get Here,” Pastor James teaches us that we have to begin to process through our emotions with God and stop telling ourselves and believing that same story. If you are breathing, God is still moving. You are not alone.

How would you define the phrase ‘Love Moves?’ Would you say that love is an action word?

Do you ever want to know the plans ahead of time? Do you want to know each detail from start to finish? But what if you don’t get to know the details ahead of time?
In “How To Discover What Pleases God,” Pastor James teaches us that we have to begin to trust in God to act justly and turn everything over to him. He is the author of each of our stories, and we know the end so therefore we can trust Him. If he is for us, then who can be against us?

Have you ever carried a weight that wasn’t meant for you or hurt yourself in doing so? Do you wonder how to get rid of that weight, how to begin to shift it off of you?
In “Shifting the Weight,” Pastor Billy Island, lead pastor from Well Community Church in Dallas, Texas shares with us that we can give over the weight of shame, guilt, and pain. We weren’t intended to carry this weight, Jesus carries it for us. We can shift that weight onto Him and begin to walk with Him in freedom.
Have you ever wondered how you were made or even what you were made for?

Do you ever feel like you are trying over and over and over again to win at life? Or that you are trying to get ahead to truly be able to start living?

Do you ever wish you had the playbook on how to be a Dad? Should you go for the touchdown or run the ball up the field? Ultimately, how do you raise your children? If you've ever wanted to know the answer to this, don't worry, we have too.

What do you do when the attacks from the enemy won’t stop?
In “Spread It Out,” Pastor James teaches us that when those attacks come from the enemy, we have to lay it out before the Lord. We have to learn to trust the Lord in every scenario and every battle, regardless of the outcome.
How do you fight your battles? What type of armor do you use to fight your battles?
In “How to Overcome the Enemy’s Attacks,” Pastor James teaches us that we don’t have to fight the devil. The Lord has already defeated him. We have access to the Armor of God and with that, we can fight any battle that the enemy tries to attack us with.
Who is YAHWEH? What does the name YAHWEH mean? What is the significance of the name YAHWEH?
In “Say My Name (YAHWEH),” Pastor James teaches us that YAHWEH is the intimate personal name of Jesus. When we begin to understand the meaning behind the name YAHWEH we begin to live in abundance. Through YAHWEH we lack nothing.
Do you ever feel like you’re missing something in your life? Like something is lacking and you’re not sure what it is?
In “Living without Lack,” Pastor James teaches us that the Lord wants to fill our cup, and when he does we lack nothing.
How do we begin to live in the love that God has for us? How do we overcome our brokenness and stop living in it?
In ”Living Loved,” Shana Hilton teaches us that we don’t have to live in our brokenness. We can believe and know that we are loved, chosen, and seen by God.
How angry of a person would you say you are on a scale from 1-10? Now rate how you deal with that anger on a scale of 1-10.
In “He Knows Anger,” Pastor James teaches us that Jesus knows anger, yet he did not sin. So, through this, we can begin to learn how to have healthy anger and how to react when those moments of anger arise.
Have you ever been tempted? Have you ever felt like you didn’t know how to turn from temptation?

What is baptism? What does it mean when someone makes the decision to follow after Christ?
In “He Knows You,” Pastor James teaches us the significance of baptism by explaining Jesus’ deep understanding of human struggles and emotions. Jesus knows the real you and wants a relationship with you.
How do we face suffering with confidence? We do it in the same way Jesus did.
In “He Knows Suffering,” Pastor John Sellers teaches us that because He suffered He can show us how we walk through suffering because He knows suffering.
If you ever feel like worry and anxiety are taking over your life, you aren't alone. But how do we overcome it?
In “He Knows Anxiety,” Pastor James teaches us that Jesus understands our anxiety. He gets it, and we can begin to take steps of faith and walk through the hard times with him.
How do you respond when the worst thing possible happens to you? Do you ever question where God is in that moment?
In “How Jesus Meets You on the Broken Road,” Pastor James shows us that Jesus knows exactly what we are walking through.
Have you ever messed up and wished you could just disappear? Wanted to cover up your mistakes and pretend they never happened?
In "The Only Way To Live," Pastor James shows us that we don't need to be ashamed of our past. Instead of hiding, we can face it head-on and see ourselves through God's eyes. By doing this, we can live with strength and guidance from the Holy Spirit.
Do you ever feel weighed down by hurt or bitterness? It's tough carrying around that heavy burden, isn't it?

A challenge we all face as leaders is either being too tough, or too tender. To lead with both lion-like toughness and lamb-like tenderness we must trust in Jesus, follow Him, and embrace both lion and lamb qualities.
In the sermon 'How to live a life that counts' by Pastor Jason Wilson, he celebrates Pastor James Hilton's 20th anniversary at Journey Church by preaching on his leadership.
Being comfortable isn't a bad thing by itself. Comfort is great when you talk about buying a new bed, but it makes a terrible master. What if your pursuit of "comfortable" is keeping you from the blessings God invites you into?
In "Drop Comfortable," Pastor John helps us have the confidence to step into the uncomfortable to move forward in our faith.
Do you constantly feel burned out and exhausted by the pressure of comparison? Comparison will prevent us from living the life we were created for.
In "Drop Comparing Yourself To Others," Pastor James teaches us the importance of running our race, not the race of others.
Money can be awkward to discuss, but how we spend our money often determines how we live our lives. Often it is at the root of much of the heartache and pain we feel in life.
In "Drop Stressing Over Money," Pastor James gives us practical tools and next steps to help us start budgeting and managing our money wisely so that we can live the life that God ultimately wants for us.
Do you ever stop to think about the way you feel? Often we feel the way we feel because of the story we believe, even if that story isn't true.
In "How To Drop Negative Thinking," Pastor James teaches us how to shift our thinking despite our circumstances to break free from destructive thought patterns.
God is not just with us but goes ahead of us into the future.
In "God Goes Before You," Pastor James shows us the promises of God that we can declare over our lives to live in the fullness that God has for us in 2024.
Have you ever found yourself in a mess that you can't seem to get out of? Maybe it was a mess you've made or perhaps it was a mess someone else made.
In this year's Christmas message, 'How to Find Hope in the Mess,' Pastor James shows us the heart of Jesus to step into the mess that we couldn't step out of on our own.
God has given us everything that we need to prepare the way for him to move and work around us, but it’s our job to steward what has been given to prepare the way.
In "Preparing the Way for God to Move," Pastor James walks us through Genesis 12 to show us how, like Abraham, we can lay everything on the altar, shifting our focus from our own desires to the will of God, to allow Him to move through us.

We often look at our lives and ask ourselves, "Who am I that God would want to use me?" We look at what we have, and we don't see how God could use what we have to make a difference in the world around us.
In "Can You See It?," Pastor James helps us see how God sees us and our resources so that we can receive the blessing He's wanting to pour into our lives.
It's easy to feel discouraged, defeated, or unqualified when you think about the idea of God working through you. Often we're not where we want to be in life.
In "How To Prepare For God's Purpose In Your Life," Pastor James looks at Jacob's life to show that, despite challenges, God can turn our imperfections into tools for His purpose.
You are called to be a priest, and God wants to use priests like you to prepare the way for Him to move and work on earth. But for Him to do that, we need to prepare our lives in pursuing God.
In "The Pattern of Pursuing Jesus," Pastor James looks at the Tabernacle and shows us how each element in it serves as a roadmap for drawing near to God.
Do you know why you're here? Do you know what God wants for your life?
In "How To Walk In Your Anointing," Pastor James helps us to discover our unique calling and spiritual gifts, so that we may see the extraordinary happen in our lives and all around us.
Did you know that you are a priest? Priests are called to pursue God, declare His greatness, and prepare the way for what He wants to do. In "Prepare... You Are A Priest!," Pastor James shares a big vision for the next ten years and how we can be a part of what God is wanting to do in and through Journey Church.
Have you ever found yourself living in defeat and discouragement? Or have you struggled with feeling overwhelmed? If you have, you are not alone.
In "How To Be Anxious No More," Pastor James teaches us how to fight when anxiety attacks to experience all that God has for us.
When Jesus was asked, "Which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" you might have expected Him to respond with a singular commandment, but He didn't.
In this message, Pastor John Sellers shows us that we can't be true followers of Jesus if we separate loving God and loving people as trying to do so robs us of the fullness of life He has for us.
With every step of faith you take, you will experience opposition. Often you'll feel a pull to give up or feel like you're doing something wrong. In this message, Pastor John teaches us how to look to the Holy Spirit for clarity when there is confusion, so that we can overcome opposition in our life and continue to take steps of faith.
Have you ever felt stuck by your past or your current circumstances? There are few things in life more frustrating than feeling like you can't take steps to move forward.
In this message, Pastor James looks at Philippians 3 to teach us two phrases that will help us progress in our faith.
We live in a world where everything is hyped. The latest trends, the most viral TikTok, the newest drop—whatever captures the moment. Hype feels great... for a moment. Eventually we realize that we need more than hype. What we need is hope. In "Lost in the Hype" from FOCUS 2023, Pastor James walks us through 1 Peter 1 to show us a way that will sustain us in every season.
If you feel lost or are hurting, Jesus is greater. If you’re trying to do things in your own strength, Jesus is greater. If you’re searching for meaning and purpose, Jesus is greater.
In this message, guest speaker Pastor Ken Winter shows us that Jesus is the greater Moses who offers us freedom from sin and a path to everlasting life.
Is the fear of failure or difficult circumstances holding you back from experiencing all that God has for you? Do you constantly find yourself asking "what if"?
In "The God of Even If," Pastor James looks at the writings of Paul to the Philippians to help us shift our "what if" fears into "even if" confidence.
Have you ever felt like you're losing your joy, especially when troubles arise? It's easy to be joyful when things are going well, but it's much tougher when they aren't.
In this message, Pastor James helps us ask the question "What really matters?" to keep our circumstances in view of the bigger picture.
