The Way Ministry
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1
Scripture First
We open the Bible first and point to Jesus.
Who God / Jesus / Holy Spirit
Who God Is
Creator & sovereign (Gen 1:1; Rev 4:11). Holy, just, loving (Isa 6:3; 1 Jn 4:8). One God in three Persons (Matt 28:19).
Who Jesus Is
Eternal Word—God & man (John 1:1,14). Died & rose (1 Cor 15:3–4). Only way (John 14:6).
Who the Holy Spirit Is
Convicts, regenerates, indwells, empowers (John 16:8; Titus 3:5; Acts 1:8).
Evangelism
Message 1 — God Loves & Saves
God made you to know Him (Gen 1–2), but sin separates us (Rom 3:23; 6:23). Jesus died and rose to give life (John 3:16; Rom 10:9). Turn and trust Him today.
Message 2 — All Have Sinned
Every heart is guilty before a holy God (Rom 3:10–12). The cross shows both God’s justice and mercy (Rom 3:24–26). Repentance is a change of mind that turns to Christ (Acts 3:19).
Message 3 — Follow Jesus
Jesus calls us to deny self and follow Him daily (Luke 9:23). We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8–9) for a new life of obedience (Eph 2:10; John 14:15).
