    Jesus, the Light of the World (John 8:12) | VBS Sunday 2026

    Have you ever felt like you're searching for something more—more purpose, more peace, more hope—but never quite finding it? In John 8:12, Jesus makes one of the most astonishing claims in all of Scripture: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." In this message, we explore what Jesus meant by calling Himself the Light of the World, why that claim matters, and why He invites us to do more than simply admire Him. Jesus isn't looking for fans. He's calling people to follow Him and discover the life only He can give. Whether you're exploring Christianity, returning to church, or have been following Jesus for years, we hope this sermon helps you see Jesus more clearly and encourages you to turn your eyes toward Him.

If you're in the Houston area, we'd love to welcome you this Sunday at The Journey Church Houston. 📍 1703 Heights Blvd., Houston, TX 77008 🕥 Sundays at 10:30 AM

    When Evil Appears to Win | Daniel 11:36–12:13

    When evil appears to be winning, how can we have hope? As we conclude our series through Daniel, we come to one of the Bible's most sobering, and hope-filled, visions. Daniel sees the rise of a future self-exalting ruler, a time of unprecedented trouble, and what appears to be the triumph of evil. Yet beneath the chaos, God is still sovereign. The final victory of evil is not actually the triumph of evil at all. It is the last stage before God delivers His people, raises the dead, and establishes His kingdom forever. In this message from Daniel 11:36–12:13, we explore the Antichrist, the Tribulation, the resurrection of the dead, and the hope that enables God's people to remain faithful even in the darkest days. Topics include: • Why evil sometimes appears to prosper • The Bible's vision of the end times • The promise of resurrection and final justice • How Christians can persevere through suffering • The Kingdom of God and the return of Christ God's people can remain faithful through the darkest days because God has already determined the final victory of His kingdom that cannot be shaken. Whether you're exploring Christianity, wrestling with difficult questions about suffering and evil, or seeking encouragement to remain faithful in a challenging world, this episode is for you.

    Prepared for What's Coming | Daniel 10:1–11:35

    How can we prepare for suffering before it comes? In Daniel 10–11, God gives Daniel a remarkable vision of future kingdoms, political upheavals, spiritual conflict, and persecution. Yet the purpose of the prophecy is not merely to satisfy our curiosity about the future. It is to prepare God's people to remain faithful when suffering comes. One of the central messages of this passage is that God doesn't simply know the future. He rules the future. The rise and fall of empires, the actions of kings, and even the suffering of God's people all unfold under His sovereign authority. For Daniel's original audience, this revelation would have provided hope and stability in the midst of uncertainty. For Christians today, it reminds us that health crises, family difficulties, financial hardship, and seasons of suffering do not take God by surprise. Nothing enters our lives apart from the sovereign hand of our Father. Ultimately, Daniel points us beyond prophecy to Jesus Christ. Daniel shows us a God who is sovereign over suffering; the cross shows us a God who entered into suffering for our salvation. The greatest suffering in history was not outside God's control. It was the very means by which God accomplished redemption and brought us into His kingdom that cannot be shaken. If you're facing a difficult season or wrestling with questions about suffering, God's sovereignty, biblical prophecy, or Christian faithfulness, this message is for you.

    A Prayer and the Plan to End Sin | Daniel 9

    How do you find hope in a world marked by suffering, injustice, and brokenness? In Daniel 9, we encounter one of the most significant prophecies in all of Scripture. As Daniel prays for the restoration of Israel, God answers with a glimpse into His greater plan, a plan to deal with sin, bring everlasting righteousness, and fulfill His promises through the coming Messiah. In this message, Pastor Steven Hiller explores Daniel's prayer of confession, God's gracious response, and the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. Along the way, we discover that true hope is not found in ourselves, in politics, or in human progress, but in the faithfulness of God. Even when His timeline is longer than we expect, His purposes are moving forward exactly as He intends. Join us as we consider what Daniel 9 reveals about repentance, God's covenant faithfulness, Jesus Christ, and the hope available to all who trust in Him.

    When Kingdoms Collide | Daniel 8

    When the world feels unstable, how can we remain steadfast and unshaken? In Daniel 8, God gives Daniel a vision of rising and falling kingdoms, powerful rulers, persecution, and suffering yet to come. At first glance, the vision seems troubling. But beneath the chaos is a reassuring truth: God is sovereign over history. The rise and fall of empires, the struggles of God's people, and even the darkest moments of human history unfold according to His purposes. In this sermon, Pastor Steven Hiller explores Daniel's vision of the ram, the goat, and the little horn, examines the historical fulfillment of these prophecies, and shows how fulfilled prophecy strengthens our confidence in God's promises for the future. Whether you're wrestling with uncertainty, trying to make sense of current events, or simply seeking deeper confidence in God's sovereignty, this message offers hope: when kingdoms collide, God's Kingdom cannot be shaken.

    When the Beasts Rise and Rage | Daniel 7

    When the world feels unstable, where can we look for hope? In Daniel 7, the prophet Daniel receives a dramatic vision of beastly kingdoms rising from the sea, arrogant rulers opposing God, and a future marked by suffering and uncertainty. Yet above the chaos sits the Ancient of Days on His throne, and to the Son of Man is given an everlasting kingdom that will never be destroyed. In this message, Pastor Mace Perez explores how Daniel 7 reorients God's people to endure faithfully in the midst of frightening and uncertain times. The kingdoms of this world may appear powerful, but they are temporary. The Ancient of Days is still reigning, and the kingdom ultimately belongs to the Son of Man and His people. Whether you are navigating personal hardship, cultural uncertainty, political anxiety, or simply wondering where to find lasting hope, this passage offers a powerful reminder: the beasts are real, and the suffering is real, but neither is ultimate.

    God the Spirit | His Ministry: The Christian Life

    What happens after we die? Is the Christian hope simply escaping to heaven—or something far greater? In this final session of our “Nicene Creed: Foundations of the Christian Faith” Discipleship Class, Pastor Mace Perez explores one of the most beautiful and often misunderstood truths of Christianity: “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come.” Together, we consider the Bible’s vision of resurrection, eternal life, the new heaven and new earth, and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. Rather than describing eternity as disembodied souls floating in heaven forever, the Christian Story points us to the restoration of all things through Jesus Christ—the defeat of sin and death, renewed creation, resurrection bodies, and everlasting joy in the presence of God. Whether you are a longtime Christian, spiritually curious, or wrestling with questions about heaven, suffering, purpose, and eternity, this conversation invites you to see the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Christian Story with fresh eyes.

    Faithful and Vindicated | Daniel 6

    What do we do when what is right and what feels easiest don’t line up? In Daniel 6, we encounter the familiar story of Daniel in the lions’ den. But beneath the surface is a deeper invitation to lives of quiet, steady faithfulness in a world constantly pulling our hearts in different directions. Daniel’s courage wasn’t built in a single dramatic moment. It was formed through years of ordinary obedience, prayer, integrity, and trust in God. In this sermon, Pastor Mace Perez explores what it means to remain faithful when honesty is costly, compromise is normalized, and cultural pressure quietly shapes our loves and loyalties. And ultimately, the story points us to Jesus—the greater Daniel—who was unjustly condemned, passed through death, and was vindicated through resurrection so that we could be welcomed into God’s unshakable kingdom. If you’ve ever wrestled with integrity, compromise, distraction, pressure, or the fear of doing the right thing when it costs something, this message is for you.
