Journey Church Bozeman Sermons

Vern Streeter | Guest Speaker | April 12, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Joshua 2, Matthew 1:5-6, Hebrews 10:31, James 2:25-26 Reflection Questions: 1. The story of Rahab is well known. She is famous. Did you learn anything new? How was the sermon on Joshua 2 impactful for you? 2. What difference does it make in your life that, like Rahab stated, “…the Lord your God, is God in heaven above and on earth below.” (Joshua 2:11) 3. Isn’t it interesting that Rahab is celebrated in the New Testament by Matthew, Hebrews, and James? (Matthew 1:5-6; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25-26) Why do you think James uses Rahab as an example of “Faith without works is dead?” 4. Right now, are you hanging tightly to a rope that is being lowered by someone else – why and who is on the Rahab end of the rope? And, who are you lowering – who is depending on you for their spiritual life? That’s a lot of responsibility. How can we help you stay strong for someone you care about? 5. Bonus discussion: Vern said Rahab did a bad thing but did the right thing. How is that possible? Can you think of other similar circumstances? Have you ever faced such an ethical dilemma? 6. A mind-bending morality-challenging deeper dive: Ethicists offer three main views: A. The “Lie was sinful but used by God” view. * Rahab did the right thing (protecting life) * But used a wrong method (lying – a violation of the 9th commandment) * God honored her faith despite moral imperfection. This keeps moral absolutes intact. B. The “Higher moral law” view. * Protecting life is more important that telling the truth. This is called “graded absolutism.” C. The “Wartime ethics” view * She lied in a time of war. * Deception in war (like espionage) is not morally equivalent to everyday lying. This is military resistance, not private morality. Discuss! 7. From this, what do we learn about God and His relationship with us? That’s all very interesting and worth discussing, but please don’t let it overshadow the call on your life to not “drop the rope” for the people depending on you… What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | April 5, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Colossians 2:13-14, Philippians 3:8-21, John 20:19, 1 Corinthians 15:20, John 3:16-18 Reflection Questions:1. What is your observation of the “cancel culture” that we live in today? How would you describe “cancel culture”? What are some examples you have seen of people today being cancelled? Would you say that cancelling people is fair or unfair? Explain your answer. How might it feel to be cancelled by the world around you? 2. Big Idea: Jesus did not come to cancel people, but to cancel sin.Read Colossians 2:13-14, John 3:16-18How does it feel to know that Jesus has cancelled your sin but will never cancel you? How can we know that Jesus will never cancel us? How does this change how we might respond to our failures in this life? 3. When you reflect on the resurrection of Jesus what gives you hope and encourages your heart? 4. Read Philippians 3:10-11How have you experienced the power of the resurrection in your life? (ie. How has your life changed? How have you experienced a growing relationship with Jesus? How have you seen the power of Jesus at work in your life?) 5. Paul says that part of knowing Jesus is participating in the same kind of suffering that He experienced. What kind of suffering did Jesus experience in his life? Why can this be a comforting thought when we are experiencing pain and suffering and loss in our life? Why is it important to understand that that suffering is a normal part of knowing and walking with Jesus? 6. Read 1 Corinthians 15:20Jesus’ physical resurrection is called the first fruits of our resurrection. What does this verse mean? Reflect on the reality that you will be given a physical body for all of eternity that will not age, decay, get sick, experience pain or loss, suffering, or death…What thoughts does this bring to mind? How does that hit you emotionally? What questions does it raise for you? What hope does this give us? Why? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | March 29, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Matthew 21:6-11, Acts 4:12 Reflection Questions:1. When you hear that “Hosanna” means “save us,” what do you feel like you most need saving from right now—externally or internally? 2. What are some things you tend to look towards for security, identity, or relief (control, approval, success, relationships, etc.)? 3. Was there a moment in your life (like the story shared in the sermon) that shaped what you now “look to” for worth or validation? 4. How does the picture of Jesus entering on a donkey—humble, not forceful—challenge or reshape your expectations of God? 5. As we move toward Easter, what would it look like for you to “turn toward Jesus” in a real, practical way this week? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

What has been your experience of being discipled by others ? What has been your experience of discipling others? What has been encouraging to you? What has been challenging or frustrating? 5. What barriers have you experienced in trying to invest in the lives of other people? (Helping them learn to know and follow Jesus) How can a person overcome those barriers? 6. Bob mentioned that discipleship is… Relational… Intentional… Transformational… —How would you describe each of these words? Do you agree or disagree with this list? What would you add or change and why? 7. Whom could you move toward today to begin a relationship where you could help them know and follow Jesus? How might you approach them? What is your next step in doing that? 8. How would our church and our valley be different if followers of Jesus took this command to make disciples more seriously?

How are you experiencing suffering and pain in your life right now? How are you seeing people in your life experience suffering and pain? 2. We cannot read God’s favor or disfavor by assessing how troubled a person’s life is. True or False? Why?What does the Bible teach us about this statement?

What truths of Scripture do we need to keep in mind in order to counter these wrong beliefs and responses? 5. READ: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. How are other believers intended to be an extension of God’s comfort to us in the midst of our pain and suffering? How have you seen God use other people to be a source of comfort for you? How have you been a source of comfort to others? Share some specific examples… 6. Why would isolation be detrimental to someone in the midst of suffering? Why can we tend toward isolation? How can we break through our tendency to isolate? What will that require of us? 7. Do you personally move toward people in suffering or tend to isolate? Why? Explain… 8. What specifically do we need from others in our suffering in order to experience comfort? What things from others can actually be unhelpful, even if offered with good motives? 9.

In what ways am I choosing to depend on God’s generosity for my felt need? And in what ways am I restricting God’s generosity by my own self sufficiency? 2. Is the way I relate to money more reflective to the American economy or God’s economy? What is one step, just one practical change, that I can make to live more generously in my relationship to money and possessions. 3. Stay committed to developing a personal rhythm of confession. Begin giving attention to what this practice of confession could look like in your everyday life, and let it lead you into greater freedom, honesty and forgiveness. 4. Choose generosity to counteract greed. Greed is taking more than we need for ourselves, regardless of how that affects others. This week consider where you can be generous. Ask yourself: What do I have more than enough of? And who could I share it with? What’s your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | February 8, 2026 Referenced Scripture: John 13:34-35, Ephesians 5:25, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Ephesians 3:4-6 Reflection Questions:1. Mission Statement: Together, we lead people in becoming All In followers of Jesus. — Do you believe that an ALL IN follower of Jesus must live out their faith TOGETHER with other believers? Why or why not? 2. Read John 13:34-35 — How would you describe the way Jesus has loved us? What adjectives would you use? How is it even possible for us to love other people in that same way? 3. Jesus said the defining characteristic of an ALL IN follower is seen in our love for one another. How would you evaluate your love for other followers? How would you evaluate other followers' love for you? 4. Can we love Jesus while at the same time not be actively loving His church (other followers)? Why or why not? 5. What makes it difficult for you to love other followers this way? What barriers do you need to overcome? What are some practical ways you could seek to overcome those barriers? 6. For us to be known and loved (and to love and know others) requires vulnerability. What makes vulnerability difficult for people? Difficult for you? How can we create environments that foster greater vulnerability? 7. Shame → Shame isn’t just feeling bad about yourself; it’s a deep fear that you are unloveable; that if people knew who you really were, they would reject you. 8. How can shame create a barrier to authentic loving relationships? How can we overcome shame? How can we help others overcome shame? 9. How might Sunday Gatherings be different if everyone showed up with a mindset to know and love other people? What is something practical you can do this week to approach our gatherings differently? 10. How could your small group grow in the ability to know and love one another? What’s your next step?

When you realize that the invitation to follow Jesus means we actually are expected to become like Him, how do you respond to that idea? Why can that thought be overwhelming? Does this seem impossible? Why or why not? 2. Read Matthew 11:28-30 What were the two uses of the word “yoke” that Jesus is referring to here? Describe the imagery of being “yoked” to Jesus like two oxen? How does that imagery help us understand how we are to walk our life with Jesus? How does this help us to become like Jesus? 3. If we are weary and burdened in our life, what does that say to us about our walk with Jesus and our connection to Him? How can Jesus actually make our yoke easy and our burden light? Does that mean that everything in life will be easy and light? Why or why not? 4. True life in Jesus is found when we surrender our lives fully to Him. What does it mean to surrender fully to Jesus? Why can that word be difficult for us to deal with? What makes actually surrendering difficult for you? 5. How does surrendering to Jesus actually bring freedom and life to our souls? Explain. What things in this life can we become free of through surrendering? Explain. 6. The opposite of surrender is control? How can trying to control everything in life be exhausting?

Where in your life do you need to unclench your fist and open your hands? 8. Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. What wisdom do you see in this simple prayer? How could this be helpful in your learning to surrender? 9. Describe Spiritual breathing… What is exhaling? → why is confession of sin important?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | January 25, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Luke 6:40, Romans 12:2, 1 John 4:19, 1 John 3:16, Luke 19:10 Reflection Questions: 1. Read Matthew 14:22-31 Why do you think Peter got out of the boat? What do you think Peter was thinking? (requires speculation) (v. 31) Do you think Jesus was questioning Peter because he was doubting Jesus or because he was doubting himself? Explain your thinking. 2.

Assignment: Choose a gospel and read through it with these questions in mind… How would I imitate what I see in Jesus in my own life? What would I need to start doing? Stop doing? Keep doing? How would my life be different if I took imitating Jesus seriously? What’s your next step? Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Give some examples.What does that say about God that the bar to entry from a cultural perspective was really low? What thoughts might you have had in observing who Jesus chose to be his closest followers? Explain. 2) Wants to be my disciple“Wants” implies it is a choice that we make to follow Jesus or not. Why do you think Jesus would give us a choice and not demand that we love and follow Him? Can love be forced? Explain. 1 John 4:19We love because he first loved us. 3) Must deny themselvesWhat do you think Jesus meant by this? What does this NOT mean? Explain.What has it cost you to follow Jesus? Why is it important to know up front that following Jesus can and will be costly?Is there an area of your life that you find difficult to surrender to Jesus (or an area you find it difficult to follow)? Explain, why? 4) Take up their cross daily and follow me.What did the symbol of the cross mean to a first century person? How is that different from how we view the symbol?Why does that appear to be a “bad marketing” strategy by Jesus?

Can you relate to the response of the rich young ruler? Why or why not? 5. In the sermon we talked about identity based spiritual transformation. Identity → Process → Outcome (fruit)(who we are) → (what we do) → (what we get) Why is it critical to start with identity as we approach the pursuit of spiritual transformation?

How would it shape your habits/disciplines and the outcomes of your life? 6. Read Matthew 7:21-23How is it possible for someone to think they are a follower of Jesus and not actually have a relationship with Him?What thoughts or questions come to your mind when you read this passage?
