Which Road Are You On?

Contributed by Pastor Norman Bailey, Overseer on Aug 10, 2018

Many at the last day are going to be very disappointed thinking they were going to heaven to find out that they were on the wrong road. Only those who travel the strait and narrow way will make it in. Those that do the will of God by obeying his word.

We must know the road that we are traveling beloved. Are we religious and have a form of godliness. ...read more

Open-Minded To A Narrow Way? - Matthew 7:13-14 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 16, 2024

The dominant religion of our culture is pluralism – no one goes to hell. Jesus tells us to enter the narrow gate because the more popular, less exclusive, less difficult road leads to hell, whereas the sparse, exclusive, hard road leads to life.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
