A Controversial Answer

How do you get to heaven? That question has been asked by people throughout history. Jesus gave his disciples the answer to that question, and that answer still stirs dissention in people today. We will talk about his provocative answer in this week’s sermon.


Scripture: John 14:5-6
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”


Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon Children of the Resurrection delivered on Christian Crusaders November 11, 2007:

We know how to get to heaven – it is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We do not earn nor deserve a place in this heavenly home. It is a gift purchased for us through Jesus Christ – who bore our sins when he died on the cross for us – and we received him as our Savior. We still have many questions that will not be answered in this age.


Your Support is Important
Many of our listeners are not aware that Christian Crusaders must purchase its own radio air time in order to broadcast biblical truth each and every week. The mission of Christian Crusaders is to provide a Sunday radio and Internet worship service proclaiming Jesus Christ as Redeemer of the world and personal Savior to all who receive Him. We cannot fulfill this mission without your help. Please consider, if you are in a position to do so, sending a financial gift. In this way, you become a partner in carrying out this mission.

For your convenience, we are able to accept Visa and MasterCard gifts by mail, telephone, or by visiting our online donation page.

God’s blessings to each of you.


On the Light Side
The Rev. Billy Graham tells of a time early in his career when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was.

When the boy told him, Rev. Graham thanked him and said, “If you’ll come to the Baptist church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to Heaven.”

“I don’t think I’ll be there,” the boy said. “You don’t even know your way to the post office.”
