Series: Signs & GloryTitle: How can I know the way of Jesus?Subtitle: Scripture: John 14:1-14 NIVBottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTION“I'm sure that everyone reading this book has been touched by the death of a loved one. I have; by the mercy of God, both of my parents died at home in bed. My mother slipped away at night when I was asleep, but I was next to the bed, more than fifty years ago, when my father breathed his last. I watched death in front of my eyes, and in that moment I lost the person who meant more to me than any person on the face of the earth. When it happened, something stabbed my soul, causing me to say: “This is insane. This can't be real. He must merely be sleeping. O God, will he live again?” -R.C. SproulMoments like this leave us asking: Are we really prepared for what's ahead?His disciples faced a similar challenge 2,000 years ago, beginning with a turning point of cosmic proportions with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot.I submit that we should proceed as Jesus led his disciples to on the night of his arrest and the eve of his crucifixion.Bottom line: CONTEXTJesus's disciples are deeply troubled because they have just heard 3 things:One of them will betray Jesus,Jesus is about to leave them and go where they cannot go, and Peter will deny Jesus 3 times that night.On top of all of this, Jesus is still wanted for arrest and likely crucifixion for treason and blasphemy. If they are looking for him, they are likely looking for them as well. They're terrified.OUTLINE (w/ help from ChatGPT)Bottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.1. Jesus Calms Troubled Hearts (vv. 1–3)• Context: Jesus has announced His departure (13:33) and Peter's denial (13:38). The disciples are shaken.• Truth: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” The antidote to fear is faith.• Explanation:• Believe in God; believe also in Me → Jesus calls for the same trust we give to God.• In My Father's house are many rooms → heaven is real, personal, and prepared.• I will come again → the return of Christ guarantees our eternal presence with Him.• Application:• When anxiety rises, put your weight down on His promises.• We don't just long for a place (heaven) but a Person (Jesus).Illustration: A child afraid of the dark sleeps peacefully when she lies next to her parents bed because they are with her.2. Jesus Is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (vv. 4–7)• Thomas: “We don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?” (v. 5)• Jesus' Answer: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (v. 6)• Explanation:• The Way → He doesn't show the way; He is the way. The cross and resurrection open the road.• The Truth → Not one truth among many; the full reality of God revealed in Him.• The Life → Eternal life is only in Him (cf. John 11:25; 1 John 5:11–12).• Application:• In a culture that says “all paths lead to God,” Jesus insists: only one does.• Jesus is not just useful; He is essential.Illustration: GPS apps give different routes to the destination. Some take longer while others are easier. We won't all follow exactly the same way. But we do follow him his way rooted in his truth to true and lasting life.3. Jesus Reveals the Father (vv. 8–11)• Philip: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” (v. 8)• Jesus' Reply: “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.” (v. 9)• Truth: Jesus is the full disclosure of God (cf. Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3).• Application:• You don't have to wonder what God is like—look at Jesus.• If we're confused about God's character, we must return to Jesus' words and works.Illustration: Like a high-resolution picture bringing clarity where once it was blurry, Jesus brings the Father into perfect focus.4. Jesus Empowers His Followers (vv. 12–14)• Promise: “Whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do.” (v. 12)• Explanation:• Not greater in quality but in extent—global reach through the Spirit.• Through prayer “in My name,” Jesus continues His work through us.• Application:• We are not powerless—we are prayerful participants in Jesus' mission.• Ask boldly in His name, aligning with His will.Illustration: A relay race—the baton of Jesus' mission is passed on, but with Spirit-powered expansion beyond what the disciples could imagine.Conclusion: Bringing It All Together• When your heart is troubled → Trust His promise (vv. 1–3).• When you wonder about the way → Follow Him as the only way (vv. 4–7).• When you want to know what God is like → Look to Jesus (vv. 8–11).• When you feel powerless → Pray in His name and live on His mission (vv. 12–14).Bottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.CONCLUSIONBottom Line: Because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, we can trust His promises in the midst of our fears, follow His words, ways, and wisdom with confidence, see the Father clearly, and rely on Him to provide all we need for the mission.INVITATIONWhat about you? Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” Acts 2:36-39 NIVHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTES“I'm sure that everyone reading this book has been touched by the death of a loved one. I have; by the mercy of God, both of my parents died at home in bed.

What is Eternal Life? | Eternal Life Series | Week 1| Ps Chris Chipeio by Every Nation Dorado
Jesus Christ alone has the power and authority to give us life eternal. It cost the death and suffering of Christ to pay our sin debt. Once you have asked God to forgive your sin and by faith trusted Christ alone for your soul's salvation, nothing else is needed. Everlasting life is an everlasting discovery of God. Because we know eternal life, we are to be witnesses of eternal life.
"This is life eternal"John 17:3

Join us this Sunday as we explore the final lines of the Apostles' Creed: “the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.” How does God's relational love transform these ancient words into a living invitation for us? What if forgiveness is more than wiping the slate clean—what if it's an invitation to healing and liberation? How does affirming the resurrection of the body shape how we view our physical lives and the sacredness of creation? And what if life everlasting is not just about the future, but an invitation to live fully in the present? How might these beliefs shape the way we live and love in our world right now?
Is it a gift or a curse to be immune to death, to be chosen to live forever? An eternal life, unable to die, to be killed, to live on in perpetuity while all around you age and die...When Sergeant Rob Deakin is mortally wounded during the First World War, he is destined to become just another nameless casualty of a terrible conflict.However, a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger will change the course of Rob's life forever… Not only has he been healed, but he cannot die, and he will never age.

Most people will slowly save money throughout their careers for the day when they can't work anymore. Retirement is relatively new in human history but it has become a staple in the West. Workers will make financial sacrifices today to save and hopefully secure investment income later in life. Similarly, God's word teaches us that the worldly sacrifices we make today will produce an eternal reward later. Find the handout here.

A thought experiment on what life eternal could really mean.“This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39)“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17“Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.“And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son, unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive” (2 Nephi 31:17–18).Am I “relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save”? (2 Nephi 31:19)“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” (2 Nephi 31:20)2 Nephi 31:21: “And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.”Matthew 19:16, Mark 10:17, Luke 18:18Luke 10:25“And he [Jesus] said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27) You found me!

Life Eternal Easter Sunday April 9th, 2023 Jeff Bruce, Lead Pastor
IF CHRIST BE NOT RISEN, THEN YOUR FAITH IS IN VAIN!Those are the words of the Apostle Paul. What Paul was saying was that the truth of Christianity rested entirely on the fact that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. The resurrection was real, a fact. It happened; it was a historical event. The resurrection was completely and unequivocally verified, and therefore, for all of us Christians, our faith was real, our belief in Jesus Christ verifiable. OUR FAITH WAS NOT IN VAIN!Who, in the history of humankind, knew better about the risen Christ than the apostle Paul. This pharisee, Christian hater, on the Damascus Road on the way to Syria to persecute and kill more Christians, was met face-to-face by the risen Christ, who confronted him in person and said words Paul would never forget:SAUL, WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME?Saul, later Paul, would never forget those words. How could he when they and the speaker, the resurrected Christ changed his life completely and Saul, later Paul, from that time forward, from that miraculous encounter-conversion set out to serve this risen Lord and present His gospel of truth to all mankind, to the whole world.Saul, a Jew, a pharisee, let the world know that the gospel of Jesus Christ was delivered and meant for the Jew first, and then, secondarily, to the gentiles. How wonderful, how miraculous that we were included in the gospel of saving grace, the salvation experience offered by the risen Christ.If Jesus of Nazareth was not risen, then at best he was one of the world's prophets, a good one, a very good man. He was moral and taught morality. He was a teacher, a rabbi, respected by his peers, but by no means divine, nor the SON OF GOD he claimed to be. In fact, were he not risen, those words, that claim was nothing short of blasphemy. If Jesus of Nazareth were not risen, then he was a fraud, deluded, a megalomaniac seeking power, fame and notoriety with one false claim after another. The Christianity of this Christ was also in vain, nothing more than a cult. Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of Glory, was either the divine way of the God Jehovah Almighty, the Truth and the Life, or one of the greatest frauds of humankind.But again, praise God, Jesus of Nazareth is Risen! He Lives, and he is in fact, the Way, the only Way, the only ultimate Truth, and the only giver of Life Eternal. Even as Christ was resurrected, so we who believe, with faith and love in this risen Christ, shall also be resurrected, risen from the dead as He was, and we shall spend eternity with Him. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the ultimate truth and life. It is exclusive, the only way, the only ultimate divine truth. There is absolutely no need for woke or progressive Christianity. The movement HE GETS US is dead wrong, for the resurrected Christ makes it clear that we need to GET HIM. There are no other ways, there are no other ways to God, to eternal life other than:BY FAITH IN THE RESURRECTED CHRIST!Now comes Easter when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Friday before, we identify with the brutal aspects of HIS crucifixion. From that time of agony, frustration, and pain, we move to the celebration of his resurrection on that blessed third day and we thank God Almighty for his UNSPEAKABLE GIFT. I pray you never let Easter eggs compete with Easter resurrection, that you never let Easter bunnies take the place of or compete with our beloved risen Lord. That is Easter! Celebrate that. Blessed are we, twenty-first century Christians, who have never seen or known him in the flesh but yet believe. BLESSED ARE WE! We never had the privilege, the spiritual thrill of touching the nail prints in His side. We never heard him speak after he rose from the grave. We did not bear witness to his testimony, his reality. We never had the opportunity to share a fish or a loaf of bread with him. We never witnessed the transfiguration, nor his commission to his disciples. But yet, we know, we believe, for his spirit, THE HOLY SPIRIT bears witness to the truth of Jesus Christ and:THE EASTER RESURRECTION.What a thrill it is to be a Christian. And so we say on Easter Sunday, and I do hope and pray we say these very words all year long and every day:PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT!
Each of us likely hopes for a better world and longs to eventually return to our heavenly home and the presence of our loving Heavenly Father. Psalm 143 communicates this idea. In this episode we pair that psalm with the hymn "Lead Me Into Life Eternal" with a lovely recording from the Gospel Media Library collection "Songs of Devotion."
