series: this is the way part#4

“Do you know the way?” Most of us some time in our lives have asked or been asked that exact question. Whether traveling or at a shopping mall we have approached or been approached by a random person for directions. This question applies not just for navigating streets but also in life. Like “Do you know the way to get into a top 10 college?” “Do you know the way to parent better?” And even in the Bible, people asked, “Do you know the way to eternal life?” Jesus said, “I am the Way.” Join us this Sunday as we conclude our series “This is the Way!” based on 1 John. Come and see the freeing truth that Jesus is Life. “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (1 John 5:11) The assurance of eternal life in Jesus frees us to live with a mindset that death is “not that bad.” “Christians who do the most for this present world are those who think most of the next. Aim at heaven and you’ll get earth ‘thrown in’; aim at earth and you’ll get neither.” (C.S. Lewis)

The past 18 months have been incredibly difficult. They have been even more difficult if you were already isolated and lonely. In this message, concluding our series This is the Way, Chris Inman shares about the Way of Others. (Chris is a former pastor and a member of the Cornerstone Elder Board.) This message includes some important reminders about the importance of community as well as an incredibly powerful interview with a couple from Chris' community group who share about a painful and traumatic event in their family.
