April 29, 2025
INTRO
==================================================
Touring to Yellowknife….One road in…One road out…ONLY ONE WAY.
Is it arrogant? Or is it the truth?
Jesus said….
John 14:6
[6] Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Oprah said there are millions of ways… other religions, other philosophies, But no…there is only one way.
You can’t make yourself better, you can’t buy your way in…you can’t pray enough or eat the right kind of food…or repeat Hail Mary enough times…
You can’t dress right, cut your hair right, talk right, or smell right
You can’t give enough, sacrifice enough, or punish yourself enough.
There is no other way than through Jesus…
Like the road to yellowknife…One way and only one way….
We are going to look at this closely over the next few weeks….One Way Jesus Christ…Why? What? And How?
Today we are going to talk about What? Jesus is the only Way…OK..the only Way to What?
==================================================
THE TITLE OF MY SERMON TODAY IS THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY PART 1: ONE WAY TO WHAT?
==================================================
POINT#1 THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO FREEDOM
=================================================
Isaiah 61:1
[1] The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.
THIS IS THE VERSE JESUS READ IN HIS HOMETOWN They tried to kill Him for it. But what was He saying?
Good News when your poor
He will provide
He will fulfill you
He will make you rich…not money, but spiritually rich
Comfort when you're brokenhearted.
Self inflicted
Others who have hurt you
Just this cursed world we live in
Setting the prisoners free.
Addictions
Governments.
The law
THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS AND OUR SIN CONDITION
==================================================
Romans 8:1-2
[1] So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. [2] And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
FREEDOM…JESUS IS THE ONE AND ONLY WAY TO FREEDOM
==================================================
POINT#2 ONE WAY TO Life (JOY, PEACE, PURPOSE AND LOVE)
==================================================
Galatians 5:22-23
[22] But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
GETTING SET FREE MEANS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY MORE! You can have life!
Meaning, purpose, the joy of living…peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control
BASICALLY JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE ALIVE INSTEAD OF BEING DEAD…
NOT JUST LIFE…BUT A RICH AND SATISFYING LIFE! NOT JUST BREATHING…BUT LIVING.
==================================================
Ephesians 2:10
[10] For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago
LIFE, REAL LIFE, NOT JUST BREATHING BUT ACTUALLY LIVING
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIFE!
==================================================
POINT#3 ONE WAY TO HEAVEN
==================================================
John 14:1-4
[1] "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. [2] There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? [3] When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. [4] And you know the way to where I am going."
Heaven is Holy, God is Holy, You can not be with Him unless you are Holy!
Jesus is the only way to be Holy
Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
Next week
How? How do we do this? How do we have freedom, How do we have life? How do we get to Heaven?
