Follow the True Path to Abundant Life

This 12-part series is designed to walk a genuine seeker of spiritual realities from estrangement from God to reconciliation with Him. Beginning with the question of truth and ending with the assurance of new life in Christ, the series traces the biblical path by which sinners are brought to God on His terms: through His mercy and grace, by trusting the redemptive work of His Son, turning from sin, and following Jesus as Savior and Lord.
