The Narrow Door

Join Kerry as he delivers this week's message about salvation and the urgency of entering God's kingdom through the narrow door - Jesus Christ.
In this compelling sermon, Kerry examines Jesus' teaching from Luke 13:22-30, where someone asks, "Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?" Rather than answering directly, Jesus redirects the focus to what truly matters: "Are YOU saved?"
Key Points Covered:
- The Door is Still Open - Jesus said "strive to enter by the narrow door" - it's not closed yet
- The Door is Open to All - People will come from east, west, north, and south to dine in God's kingdom
- The Door Won't Always Be Open - There's coming a day when it will be too late
What "Striving" Really Means:
Kerry explains that striving doesn't mean earning salvation through works, but rather "going to the mat" for Jesus - wrestling with God like Jacob, surrendering completely, and walking in the Spirit daily.
The Narrow Truth:
While this message may sound narrow, Kerry boldly declares what Jesus taught: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Christianity stands apart from all other religions because Jesus came DOWN to us, not requiring us to work our way UP to Him.
Key Scripture References:
- Luke 13:22-30
- Romans 8:9
- Matthew 7:5
- John 14:6
Don't worry about whether only a few are being saved - worry about whether YOU are saved.
This sermon challenges listeners to examine their own hearts and relationship with Jesus, emphasizing that authentic conversion starts with Jesus and is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
