Warning: Narrow Door

Jesus gives us important warnings so that we can face the challenges that are coming with confidence in him. Getting into heaven is hard because we have powerful enemies trying to stop us, but it’s also easy, because Jesus is the way and he gives us heaven as a free gift.

Harvest Workers

What a privilege and a challenge to work in God’s kingdom! Working in God’s kingdom is a challenge because much of the time we can’t see inward, spiritual progress. But what a privilege to be entrusted with the work of God to bring the gospel to sinners so that they can be saved.

Committed to Jesus

God wants his followers to be committed to his will, ready to follow his path, whether that path means giving up earthly pleasure or being persecuted. Our future is already secured; God has prepared a place in heaven for every believer.
