180 Life Church

Pastor Josh shares “The Long Road,” a message about how God often leads us the long way for our good and His glory, drawing from Jeremiah 20:9 and Exodus 13–14. Through Israel’s Red Sea moment and Miriam’s song, he shows how remembering the “dry ground” builds gratitude and courage in hard seasons. Josh also tells part of 180 Life Church’s own long road and points us to Jesus—the ultimate rescue we remember at the Table. Be encouraged to be still in trust and move forward in obedience.

Pastor Josh reminds us that God’s boundaries aren’t meant to restrict us but to protect us. From Genesis 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we see that every person is made in God’s image and called to live within His loving design. Whether it’s sexuality or any other sin listed in Scripture, these boundaries flow from His love, not control—because real love always has boundaries.

180 Life Church

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it truly means to be made in the Imago Dei—the image of God. Every human life, regardless of level of development, location, dependency, or ability, carries sacred worth and divine purpose. Drawing from Genesis 1:26–27 and Jeremiah 1:5, we’re reminded that our value isn’t assigned by culture but given by our Creator. We may have been made from the dust, but we were made in His image.

180 Life Church

Micah 6:8 "what does the Lord require you, O man, but to "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God" We are called to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly - but we need to understand what that looks like from a biblical perspective to walk it out well. Often times we are afraid to be vulnerable with others and ask questions, or we punish others for their vulnerability. We need to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to a world that is divided and hurting.

As we continue our “Truth in Tension” series this Sunday, we are going to be looking at how and why Jesus says there is only one way for us to have eternal life. While this sounds like the Gospel is exclusive, which it is, the Gospel message is also inclusive – anyone can be saved; they just need to put their faith and trust in Jesus.

Have you ever had a “God, where are you” moment? You're doing the best you can, you’re trying your best but things are just not working out. You’re facing challenges in life, be it financial, relational, health-related, your job, or something else and just can’t see how you’ll get through it. Well today we’re going to see that God is closer than we think. We’re going to look at the Israelites as they leave captivity in Egypt and head to the Promised Land. God guided and protected them, and will do the same for us.

We all get shaken up in life from time to time, but how do we avoid getting derailed when it happens? We will find the answer by looking back at the early church. In Acts Chapter 4, we see that Peter and John face opposition from the Temple Leaders. They recognize that God is the ultimate judge, they speak of what they have seen and heard, and they get around other Jesus followers. By doing these things, they are able to handle the pressure of the situation and although they were shaken, they were not stirred. If we do the same, and we anchor our faith in Jesus, we too can weather the storms of life and can be a witness for Him.
