Speaker: Ashley Diehl

We are all told to plan the future, but it’s easy to be so invested in the future that we miss what God has for us right in the present.  This is especially difficult when “the present” isn’t what we would like it to be. How can we thrive in the present without getting ahead of ourselves. This week, in our series The Great Rescue, we’ll look at the story of God miraculously providing food for the Israelites as they wandered the desert. We’ll see how they learned to trust God for their “daily bread” and how the “desert experiences” in our lives can help us to grow in trust as well!

What is the Church? What does it really mean to be part of a church like Journey of Faith? Are we defined by the buildings we meet in, the songs we sing, or the pastors that lead us? Or is the real definition of the Church something more, something bigger, something more vital? How can we have a better understanding of what the Church really is to help the people in our lives who have never experienced God and his people before? This week we’ll hear from our Student Ministries pastors as they help us consider the best ways to introduce our friends, neighbors, and coworkers to the family of God.
