Getting into Heaven is Easy

Listen now Read now

Jesus said: “Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). This teaching has led many to believe that it is difficult to get to heaven, but others wonder why God would make it difficult to get there.  So, ask yourself this question: “Is it easy or difficult to get to heaven?”  This is the question we will attempt to answer on Sunday!

Make a Choice

Fostering Empathy

A crucial part of loving other people is to be able to see ourselves in them, and to feel and share what they are feeling. Yet in order to do this well we also must remain distinct from other people.
