Demystifying the Spiritual Language of the Holy Spirit

Continuing our "New Way To Be Human" series, Pastor Ken DeChant addresses a topic that is often misunderstood or avoided in the church world: speaking in tongues. Moving beyond the two extremes of total denial (cessationism) and unbiblical disorder, Pastor Ken grounds the discussion in scripture to unpack the three biblical functions of glossa (spiritual language). Whether it's a language for spreading the gospel across cultures, a message for the body of Christ with an interpretation, or a private prayer language used for personal edification, this message is an invitation to lay down fear, seek Jesus more deeply, and welcome the full, drenching baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Whether you feel like you are walking through a valley of dry bones or simply coasting on a low spiritual tank, this message is a vital reminder that God respects your choice and is ready to pour out His presence to overfill your cup the moment you remove the lid.

The Hidden Heroes of Moses' Origin Story

On this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Ken DeChant steps away from our ongoing verse-by-verse study to highlight five unique, heroic women from Exodus chapters 1 and 2: Shiphrah, Puah, Jochebed, Miriam, and Pharaoh’s daughter. Long before Moses ever confronted Pharaoh or parted the Red Sea, God used these extraordinary women to protect and preserve his life. Exploring themes of boldness, protection, presence, and compassion, Pastor Ken delivers a powerful reminder to every woman—regardless of their age or stage of life—that they are deeply seen, incredibly valuable, and absolutely necessary in the Kingdom of God.

Alcohol

Who or what is controlling you?

Continuing the "New Way to Be Human" series, Pastor Ken DeChant takes a deep dive into Ephesians 5:18. While the world often views alcohol as a harmless escape, scripture warns that drunkenness leads to "debauchery"—a literal loss of control. Pastor Ken reframes the conversation from "is it allowed?" to "is it wise?" by exploring how anything that regularly takes control away from us can derail our walk with Christ. This message isn't about shame; it's an invitation to a life of alertness, clear-mindedness, and true freedom found only in the Holy Spirit.

Redeeming the Time in a Broken World

In this installment of our "New Way To Be Human" series, Pastor Ken DeChant explores Ephesians 5:15-17. He challenges us to move from living "unwise" to living "wise" by being intentional and careful with how we walk. Pastor Ken breaks down the concept of Kairos—those unscheduled, God-given opportunities—and discusses three specific types of moments we must learn to "redeem": God moments, prayer moments, and serving moments. Discover how creating margin in our busy lives allows us to seize these opportunities and align ourselves with the Lord's will.

Learn how walking in the light isn't about perfection, but about living differently so that others can see the truth and hope found in Jesus.

Jesus Came to Destroy the Works of Evil

In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Ken DeChant addresses the fundamental question: Why did Jesus come in the first place? Beyond just being a good teacher, the Bible tells us that Jesus came for a specific purpose—to destroy the works of the devil and the spiritual brokenness we call sin.

Exploring Colossians 2, Pastor Ken explains how Jesus took our "record of wrongs" and nailed it to the cross, cancelling our debt and disarming the powers of darkness. Whether you feel weighed down by guilt or are searching for hope in a broken world, this message is a reminder that the resurrection is the ultimate victory. Discover how the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to give you a brand-new start today.

Discover how to break the cycle of bitterness by naming your hurt honestly, refusing to rehearse old wounds, and trusting God with justice. Using the ultimate example of Jesus on the cross, Pastor Ken shares how choosing forgiveness is the only way to find true freedom and clarity for your future.

Overcoming Fear: The Story of St. Patrick and the Call to Return

In this message from Journey Church, Pastor Kenneth explores the true story of St. Patrick—not the one involving shamrocks and parades, but the one of a kidnapped teenager who found Jesus in captivity and later courageously returned to the land of his enslavement.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5, the teaching focuses on decreasing the fear of sharing one’s faith. You’ll learn how the love of Christ, a new perspective on others, and simple obedience can transform our "Ireland"—the places of past pain or current hesitation—into fertile ground for reconciliation and hope.

Finding Restoration through the Blood of Jesus

In this powerful message, guest speaker and nurse Sam Magers explores the heavy reality of shame—what it is, what it does to our identity, and how it can be removed. Drawing parallels between the biological functions of blood and the spiritual power of the blood of Jesus, Sam illustrates how we are not just forgiven, but purified and restored. Using the story of the woman caught in adultery from John 8, she reminds us that God reveals sin not for our humiliation, but for our restoration. Learn how to surrender the "weighted vest" of your past and step into the freedom and calling God has for you today.

The Invitation of Lent: Making Room for Jesus

What if greatness in the Kingdom of God doesn’t come from adding more—but from letting go? In this message, we explore John the Baptizer’s powerful words: “He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” As we begin the journey of Lent and 40 Days of Decrease, we learn that spiritual growth isn’t about earning God’s love—it’s about clearing away what competes with it. Discover the freedom and joy that comes from making room for Jesus.
