Hi there!

 

Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark. 

 

Songs do a great job of communicating the Word of God.  Today, you’ll hear a song from June Murphy’s latest album…the You Ran After Me album…today’s song is THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE.

 

TODAY’S SONG

There’s Just One Hope

 

A friend of mine said to me, Jesus Christ is not God.  In fact, nowhere in the bible does Jesus Christ say that He is God.  Well that’s not true.  There are about a hundred or more places where the bible makes it clear or Jesus Christ Himself makes it crystal clear that He is the Messiah…the one and only one sent from God the Father…the Savior of the World...the only way to be saved.  One such place is

John, Chapter 14, Verse 6…

 

JOHN 14:6

The Lord, Jesus Christ said to Thomas (the doubting one), “I am the way, and the truth, and the life…no one comes to the Father but through believing in Me.”

 

I remember when I heard this verse the first time.  I thought, “Jesus is either the biggest egomaniacal liar of all time…or He’s telling the truth.”  The words I used were a bit more colorful…but it’s pretty bold for any one to claim there is only one way to get to heaven, and that He’s the way.  Well Jesus said it, and over the years of biblical study, I have found what Jesus is saying in this verse to be absolutely

true.  He is THE WAY.

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

June Murphy

 

Here’s June to sing a song she wrote and produced, and in it she tells us THE WAY to get to heaven…the song is called THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE.

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

The world’s confusing

There’s chaos everywhere

Full of deception

Darkness and great despair

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

You can be freed from

Its power…there’s no doubt

God’s Word reveals

The One and Only way out

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

There’s just one hope

There’s just one faith

Just one baptism

One Lord, One Way to get to heaven

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

One hope

There’s just one faith

One “so great” salvation

The Father’s way to get to heaven

 

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

It’s Jesus

Through God the Son, Jesus

He is the Way

The Only Way

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

Christ paid for all sins

With His death on the Cross

Was resurrected

So no one need be lost

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

His work is finished

There’s nothing you need do

Except believing in

What He’s done for you

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

There’s just one hope

There’s just one faith

Just one baptism

One Lord, One Way to get to heaven

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

One hope

There’s just one faith

One “so great” salvation

The Father’s way to get to heaven

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

It’s Jesus

Through God the Son, Jesus

He is the Way

The Only Way

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

God wants none to perish

He loves the world so

That whosoever can…

Accept or reject being eternally His own

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

There’s just one hope

There’s just one faith

Just one baptism

One Lord, One Way to get to heaven

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

One hope

There’s just one faith

There’s only one hope

For the world

It’s Jesus

It’s Jesus Christ

It’s Jesus Christ

 

THERE’S JUST ONE HOPE

 

He is the Only hope

The Only Way to heaven

 

John, Chapter 14, Verse 6

 

JOHN 14:6

The Lord, Jesus Christ said to Thomas (the doubting one), “I am the way (to salvation), and (I am) the truth (the Word of God), and (I am) the (resurrection) life (eternal life)…and no one comes to God the Father but through believing in Me.”

 

Yes June…there is only ONE WAY to get to heaven…Jesus Christ is the way…the ONLY WAY.  Romans, Chapter 1, Verse 16…

 

ROMANS 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God the Father for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

 

God the Father provided His Son for you so that you can be saved through Him.  His name is Jesus.

 

PSALM 95:1

O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord…

Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

 

We dedicate the closing moments of our lesson today to anyone watching or to anyone listening who no longer wants to live under the slavery and the rulership of God’s enemy, Satan…to anyone who does not have a relationship with the One and Only God…the God who loves you unconditionally…the faithful One…the one who forgives all of your sins…the One who wants to make you His possession…the One who wants to make YOU Royalty…the one who wants you to be born again…the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 21 says…

 

ACTS 2:21

‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

 

Right now, if you want to be born again, you can call on the name of the Lord by telling God the Father that you believe in His Son, and that’s the moment of eternal life for you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the best and most important decision you can make in your lifetime.  A simple five-word request gets you to heaven…“Father, I believe in Christ.”  For a thief being crucified next to Jesus, it was a nine word request…Luke, Chapter 23, Verses 42 and 43…

 

LUKE 23:42-43

And the repentant thief was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”//And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

 

Let today be the day you stop putting off the best decision of your life. You won’t ever regret believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and counting on Him to accomplish your salvation.  Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ…and you will be saved!  Then, get to know Him!  Grow, within the sphere of His grace, in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  In John, Chapter 3, Verse 36, the Lord Himself says…

 

JOHN 3:36

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life (the resurrection life) right at that moment…but he who does not obey the command to believe in the Son will not see the resurrection life, but the wrath of God (the Lake of Fire) abides on him.”

 

Come on out of slavery to Satan and into the freedom of being a bond-servant to God…living the resurrection life.
