NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE IN OUR WALK WITH THE LORD, WE ARE ALL ON A JOURNEY - A JOURNEY WHERE WE EXPERIENCE GOD'S GRACE SEEKING US, SAVING US, AND SANCTIFYING US. IN JOHN 14:6, JESUS STATES, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME."
AS NYI, WE HOPE TO ENCOURAGE OUR YOUTH TO DISCOVER THE WAYS GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND INVITE OTHERS ON THIS JOURNEY OF GRACE FOUND IN AND THROUGH CHRIST. FURTHERMORE, WE NEVER HAVE TO JOURNEY ALONE. THOUGH WE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES, BACKGROUNDS, AND UPBRINGINGS, WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME JOURNEY TO HELP EACH OTHER BE MORE CHRISTLIKE.
JOIN US ON THE JOURNEY!
- WAY, TRUTH, LIFE: A LIFE OF FOLLOWING JESUS SHOULD NEVER BE BORING OR STAGNANT, NOR SHOULD IT BE DONE ALONE. AS WE SEEK TO BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE JESUS, WE DISCOVER THAT CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP IS AN ONGOING JOURNEY OF GRACE. IN WAY, TRUTH, LIFE, DAVID BUSIC INVITES US TO CONSIDER THE VARIOUS WAYS THAT GOD'S SEEKING, SAVING, SANCTIFYING, SUSTAINING, AND SUFFICIENT GRACE MEETS US WHERE WE ARE IN OUR LIVES. WHEN WE RESPOND FAITHFULLY TO THE ONE WHO LOVINGLY CALLS AND EQUIPS US FOR THE JOURNEY OF GRACE, WE WILL ENJOY A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, WHO HIMSELF THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
