Summary:
In our latest sermon from the “From Doubts to Doorways” series, Pastor Vicki Harrison courageously addresses one of the most challenging questions for any Christian: Is Jesus truly the only way to salvation? Through a thoughtful exploration of biblical texts, particularly John 14:1-6, Pastor Harrison affirms the scriptural claim of Jesus’ exclusivity in offering salvation.
The sermon not only delves into the theological implications of this belief but also encourages personal reflection on how this truth shapes our interactions and missions as Christians. As we consider our own beliefs, we are urged to live out this truth actively, reaching out to those who have not yet heard the message of Jesus.
The discussion is not just theological but deeply practical, urging us to transform our understanding into action. If we accept that Jesus is the only way to eternal life, our lives should reflect a commitment to sharing this vital truth with others. This sermon is a call to both conviction and action, to embrace the sometimes uncomfortable truth of our faith and to act upon it in our daily lives, ensuring that everyone hears the hope of the gospel.
Let us be inspired by Pastor Harrison’s words to renew our dedication to living out our faith in a way that brings others into the loving embrace of Jesus Christ.

Summary:
In her sermon, Rev. Vicki Harrison explores the relevance of the Old Testament to modern Christians, arguing that it remains a critical part of God’s self-revelation and foundational to understanding the New Testament. She uses 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and Hebrews 4:12 to assert that all Scripture, including the Old Testament, is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching and guiding Christians in righteousness. Rev.
