Growth Groups begin the week of October 7

What are The Parables of Jesus Growth Groups?

Growth Groups are The Journey’s groups of 15-20 people that will meet together once a week for 10 weeks thisFall to study the Bible, grow in their faith and have fun meeting new people.

This Fall, ALL of our Growth Groups will be studying the greatest stories ever told... THE PARABLES OF JESUS!  And we'll be teaching on the Parables of Jesus in our new THE GREATEST STORIES EVER TOLD teaching series beginning on Sunday, October 6!

How Can I Invite People to Church?
September 2nd, 2026
What if one simple invitation could change someone's eternity forever? That is exactly what happened in the book of Jonah. With just eight words, a reluctant prophet sparked a city-wide transformation in Nineveh, saving 120,000 lives. The power was never in Jonah's words. It was in God. Remember: we are all missionaries. You do not need a perfect message or an eloquent delivery. You just need to b...
How Do I Keep Witnessing to My Friends?
August 26th, 2026
Have you ever felt like giving up on someone you have been praying for? This week in our Jonah series, we explored what it means to be a persistent witness for Jesus, even when the people we love keep saying no. God did not give up on Jonah. He did not give up on Nineveh. And He has not given up on the people in your life who do not yet know Him. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 7:7 to keep on asking, ...
Do I Need to Share My Faith?
August 19th, 2026
Have you ever felt reluctant to share your faith? Jonah did too, and his story teaches us that running from God's call always comes at a cost, not just to ourselves, but to the people around us who need to hear the good news. God's love has no limits. Just as He looked at a city of 120,000 people living in darkness and refused to give up on them, He looks at the people in your life the same way. Y...
Do I Need To Go To Church To Be A Christian?
August 12th, 2026
The answer might surprise you. While church attendance does not save you, Jesus made clear in Matthew 16:18 that the church matters deeply to him, so much so that he gave his life for it. The church is not a building or a club. It is a family. And just like a coal removed from a fire grows cold, a Christian disconnected from a church family will wither spiritually. God designed us to grow together...
Am I A Good Person?
August 5th, 2026
Where do you stand on the morality ladder? Most of us think we're "good enough" for heaven because we're not as bad as others. But here's the truth: God's standard isn't comparison - it's perfection. And that gap between where we are and where we need to be? Only Jesus can bridge it. This week we tackled one of Satan's most dangerous lies: "At least you're not as bad as them." The reality is, we c...
Do I Deserve to Be Happy?
July 29th, 2026
This week we kicked off our new series "Lies Satan Tells" by exposing one of the biggest deceptions, that the focus of life is to be happy. The truth? You were created for something far greater: to know and love God. When you pursue Him first, happiness becomes the natural overflow of that relationship. Jesus said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). Stop chasing...
What Is The Great Commission?
July 22nd, 2026
In Matthew 28, Jesus gives us the Great Commission: not just A mission, but THE mission. He has ALL authority. He's calling us to reach ALL nations with ALL truth. And here's the game-changer: He promises to be with us ALWAYS. Even when we feel unqualified, even when we hesitate like those first disciples, Jesus says "I'm with you." You're not just living for a paycheck or going through the motion...
How Can I Find Financial Peace?
July 15th, 2026
Are you drowning in financial stress? You're not alone. Eight out of ten Americans are feeling the weight of money worries right now, but God has a better plan for your life. This week we revisited our Financial Peace series, discovering that God wants to replace your financial stress with His peace. Jesus said it clearly: "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be" (...
How Can I Wait Patiently for God?
July 8th, 2026
Waiting seasons can feel endless, whether it's a relationship, career, health, or finances. But what if these seasons aren't roadblocks, but opportunities for growth? This week, special guest Adam Bishop reminds us that God is GOOD to those who wait for Him (Lamentations 3:25). We serve a God who acts on our behalf, even when we can't see what He's doing. The key isn't avoiding seasons of waiting:...
What Responsibility Do I Have As A Christian?
July 1st, 2026
This Sunday, we wrapped up our God on Film series by exploring Spider-Man's famous mantra: "With great power comes great responsibility." But here's the truth: you are God's masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), and the Holy Spirit has already equipped you with supernatural gifts. The question isn't whether you have power. It's whether you're using it. Too many Christians sit on the sidelines, never relea...
What Is A Strong Man of God?
June 24th, 2026
Men, are you winning the battles that matter most? This Father's Day, we explored the spiritual fights every man faces, and how to claim victory through Christ. From sexual purity to pride, from anger to apathy, these battles are real. But here's the truth: you don't have to fight alone. Through Jesus, you are complete. Your identity isn't found in what you do or what you have: it's found in what ...
What Is A Strong Woman of God?
June 17th, 2026
What defines a strong woman of God? It's not found in relationships, roles, or reflections in the mirror, but in your relationship with your Heavenly Father. This Sunday, we explored Proverbs 31 and discovered five powerful practices: integrity, resilience, compassion, wisdom, and faith. These aren't about trying harder: they're about trusting God to transform you from the inside out. "Charm is de...
How Can I Overcome Life's Obstacles?
June 10th, 2026
Life is a journey filled with obstacles that can knock us off course: spiritual apathy, unrelenting problems, instant gratification, worldly lies, difficult decisions, and anxious souls. But God hasn't left us to navigate alone. Just like Odysseus faced challenges on his journey home, we face obstacles that threaten to shipwreck our faith. The good news? God provides solutions for every struggle: ...
Can God Give Me Rest from Social Media?
June 3rd, 2026
Feeling digitally drained? You're not alone. Recent studies show we receive over 200 notifications daily, and our attention span has dropped to just 8 seconds. No wonder our souls are exhausted! Jesus offers something different: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). True rest doesn't come from unplugging alone. It comes from surre...
Will God Help Me Face My Fears?
May 27th, 2026
What monster are you facing today? A health crisis? Financial pressure? A broken relationship? Fear that keeps you awake at night? Just like the disciples in the storm on the Sea of Galilee, we often panic when life feels out of control. But here's the truth: Jesus was in the boat with them the whole time. He's in your boat too. In Matthew 8, Jesus asked His terrified disciples a powerful question...
Does God Know All of My Secrets?
May 20th, 2026
We all carry secrets that weigh us down - things like hidden shame, past mistakes, and guilt we're afraid to expose. But here's the truth: God already knows every single one, and He loves you anyway. This week at The Journey, we explored how our dark secrets lose their power when we bring them into the light before God. Romans 8:1 reminds us: "There is no condemnation for those who belong to Chris...
What Kind of Changes Will I Face in Life?
May 13th, 2026
Change is inevitable, but you don't have to face it alone. This week we kicked off our summer series God on Film by exploring how to manage life's unavoidable transitions. Whether you're starting a new job, facing an empty nest, or navigating loss, God promises to walk with you through every season. The key? Trust Him with your whole heart. As Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, God's plans for you are goo...
What Does The Bible Say About Ghosts?
May 6th, 2026
Ever wondered what Jesus would say about ghosts, demons, and the supernatural? This week we tackled one of culture's most confusing topics and discovered the truth that sets us free. Here's what you need to know: ghosts don't exist, but demons do. You're in a real spiritual battle, but you don't fight alone. The Holy Spirit living in you is greater than any force in this world (1 John 4:4). And he...
What Does The Bible Say About Vaping & Drinking?
April 29th, 2026
Your body is sacred real estate: a temple where the Holy Spirit dwells. But are you treating it with the honor it deserves? This Sunday, we tackled one of today's most challenging questions: What would Jesus say about vaping, drinking, and what we put into our bodies? The truth is powerful: "You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body" ...
What Does The Bible Say About Social Media?
April 22nd, 2026
How many times have you picked up your phone today without even thinking about it? The average person spends over two hours daily scrolling through social media, but what is it really costing us? This Sunday, we tackled a tough question: What would Jesus say about social media, screen time, and endless scrolling? Jesus said in Matthew 5:8, "God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will se...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often will my Growth Group meet?
Don’t worry, Growth Groups aren’t designed to eat up your schedule. Your Group will meet once a week for 60 to 90 minutes for 10 weeks.

Is there a group that’s right for me?
Since there are a variety of groups, you’ll have the chance to share your life experiences with others who have similar ones.

What happens when I sign up?
When you sign up, the leader of your new Growth Group will contact you with the address of the Group’s meeting place, the date and time you’ll be starting on, and all the other information you’ll need to have a great experience.

When will my group meet?
Growth Groups meet once a week, and each meeting is just sixty to ninety minutes long. Groups meet for ten to twelve times over the semester. It’s a short-term commitment but the positive impact on your life will be long-term.

What will the people in my group be like?
Growth Group is made up of the same people that attend a Journey worship service. You’ll most likely see a few people that you have seen on Sunday as well as some people that you’re meeting for the first time. It’s a great way to get to know other people outside of a Sunday service.
