Bridges

This Sunday's message was from John 14:1-14 and focused on vs. 6 where Jesus answered his disciple regarding there question about where heaven is and how to get there. He gave this distinctive answer; "I am the way, and the truth and the life." We talked about Jesus being the "Bridge to somewhere". So many paths people are taking today are mock bridges built by the enemy of our souls, designed to lead us to nowhere, paths of destruction, bridges of failure, false hope, and fake dreams. Jesus invites us to his bridge of life, where we were destined and created to travel. A bridge to somewhere in particular, and that particular is heaven. No dashed hopes or false endings. A real place, with a real God, and a real celebration. As we start the new year, the choices we make this year do have an impact, and I challenged everyone to put Christ at the center of their decision making process. To make sure they get on the bridge Jesus himself constructed when He came to earth, born a baby and died a savior constructing a sure and steadfast bridge for all who choose to cross it a safe and sufficient pathway for this journey called life. Make sure you are on that bridge today, there are a lot of false bridges and we are easily deceived. Let us be informed, to see clearly through the lenses of truth, the way of God, so that we can truly have a life! The life God intended for us to have. A life of joy, and contentedness, a life anchored in eternity's great hope. Live free this week, live well, walk the bridge of Jesus today. Blessings always. Pastor Doyle
