Here are my message notes from Sunday:
The Road You Choose Makes A Difference
Matthew 7:13-14
CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS
- Perhaps never before have we seen the importance and the impact of CHOICES.
- One of the most important choices you will ever make in your life pertains to your SALVATION.
THE ROAD YOU CHOOSE MAKES A DIFFERENCE
- It is a lot easier to ARRIVE at your intended destination when you are on the right road.
- If you want to go to HEAVEN, you need to be on the right road.
Matthew 7:13-14 (NCV) “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
- This text is not a proof text to support a specific church MOVEMENT.
- This text is not a proof text to support INDIVIDUAL ways of thinking. (My way or the highway)
- This text teaches us that the road to salvation is not marked by EXTERNAL requirements but by INTERNAL transformation.
THE WISE CHOICE
- Jesus is the gate (the way) that leads to salvation.
- Jesus is the road (the path) that leads to salvation.
THE MOMENT OF DECISION
- There are many here who have made the choice to TRUST Jesus alone for their salvation.
- There are still those who are TRYING to do it themselves.
- There are even those who have not yet made the DECISION to follow Jesus Christ.

I’m glad you’ve started sharing your notes like this. It’s nice to see what you’ve been studying and how you process these ideas.

Time out. This just can’t be right. I was ALWAYS taught that Mt.7:13-14 was a thinly veiled reference to US. Are you sure about that it has nothing to do with a specific church movement????

Classroom, living room, pulpit or street corner, YOU are a good teacher.
