Way to Go!
from Springville Road Community Church
Text: John 14:1-21 Where are you going? How will you make the journey? Who will be there when you arrive? What's more important the place your going or who you'll be with upon arrival? As Christians we need to ask ourselves these same questions about our life and our eternal destination. Listen as Bob Waldrep of The Crosswinds Foundation for Faith and Culture brings us a message from the book of John where Jesus talks to his disciples about the journey they were about to face. 1. The Promise of a Better Place (vs. 1-5) * This promise calms the troubled heart and gives confidence * It is backed up by the promise/certainty of the resurrection * Note the response: "Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we find the way?" 2. The Promise of a Relationship with the Father (vs. 6-8) * This promise assures us the way is provided and made known through the son. * Note the response: "Show us the Father and that will be enough for us." * What is the problem with such a response? 3. The Promise of a Mission (vs. 9-14) * The mission flows out of our relationship with the Father * The mission is not our own but the fathers * The end result of the mission is about bringing glory to the father. 4. The Promise of a Comforter (vs. 15-17) * We are empowered for the mission by the work of the Holy Spirit. * The Holy Spirit gives us: power, passion, and purpose. 5. The Promise of a Resurrection (vs. 19-21) * In the midst of the mission, we can find comfort in the certainty of the resurrection. * We live and serve with the certainty that he lives and so shall we.
