The twin testimonies of millennia’s worth of Sacred Scripture and of holding a baby in your arms are both clear: the way God created us, we are meant to sing.

God wants us to live with Him, and following the Way of Jesus leads us home…now and forever.

The church is often described as “the body of Christ’ - and over time, bodies change. Yet, we will find life no matter what season we are in if we look to Jesus as the Way.

Some of the greatest threats to the church arise from within. Yet when we understand the reality of the struggle, Jesus will show us the Way to overcome.

Sometimes, God closes doors we really want to go through. Yet, if we will watch for where He is leading and heed His call, we will be amazed by how well God works things out in His time.

It can be so hard to stay together when we disagree. Yet, the Way of Jesus shows us how - if we will follow it.

It should have been impossible: strong personalities like Saul and Barnabas and very different sorts of people like Jews and Gentiles worked incredibly well together. This is the Way, and it makes us able to do more together.

When faced with difficult decisions, we have a tendency to look down on those who choose differently than us. When confronted with the difficult decision to stay or leave Jerusalem, Jesus’ first followers show us instead how to follow The Way wherever we are.

Saul had everything going for him and had it all figured out. Then he met Jesus and realized his life needed to head a different Way.

Life on the Way is not always easy. It cost Stephen - a talented and beloved brother in the Jerusalem church - his life. Yet if we will follow Jesus all the Way like he did, we will see it is absolutely worth it.
