We Walk With One Another :: THIS JOURNEY WE CALL OUR FAITH

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 9/20/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Do you see other Christians as family? We walk together and we share our lives.

Being a community of believers means a place where you know and are known by people you’ve come to trust. It means a place to love and be loved by people. It is a place to serve others and to be served.

Community comes through unity and creates unity.

Value your Christian community. Choose to belong to God. Choose to belong to one another. Let belonging move you toward sacrifice. Prioritize knowing some people and being known by some people.

Jesus Walks With Us :: THIS JOURNEY WE CALL OUR FAITH

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 9/13/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

For God’s presence to be meaningful, you need to know what kind of God He is. One’s behavior is an overflow of one’s nature. God’s nature guarantees the character and consistency of His behavior.

The God who walks with us. God is the source of goodness. He does the right thing. God possess infinite knowledge. God has unlimited power. God is all wise.

Awareness of God’s character is indispensable to our journey. The more we know of God the more we worship, the more we enjoy life, and the better we sleep.

Jesus Blesses Us on the Way :: THIS JOURNEY WE CALL OUR FAITH

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 9/6/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

In Matthew 16:19-27 Jesus says some hard words regarding the kingdom. He speaks of willingly surrendering to Him. Willingly surrendering to Christ gives access to the kingdom. It brings us life. It makes a soul alive. The goodness of what Jesus is saying is the kingdom is worth everything, and He is giving you access to it.

When I deny myself, what does that bring about? The obvious answer is Heaven.

But what about on the journey? Spiritual blessings that are more valuable than any others is brought about by denying oneself.

Christ gives us the most essential blessings – the spiritual ones. The promise of good news (Luke 4:18). Release from what imprisons you (4:18). The ability to see clearly (4:18). The power to choose good (4:18). The confidence of God’s favor.

The Bumper Cars :: THIS JOURNEY WE CALL OUR FAITH

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 8/30/26 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Listen as Pastor Steve speaks about Ephesians 2:1-9 and Galatians 3:1-4.

We see the more modern bumper cars that throw us off the journey. The need for self discovery. Elevating empathy above honesty. Seeing cynicism as wisdom.

When you get hit by a bumper car, go to the cross. At the cross, surrender your pride. Realign your GPS to walk with Jesus.
