Escape Into Reality

Light, Life, Belief, Part 2
September 22, 2024 • Paul A. Berthiaume • John 1
This Sunday, Pastor Paul concludes our Escape Into Reality series with the message, Light, Life, Belief, Part 2. In this powerful final week, he shares a "spiritual prescription" that addresses our deepest fears, anxieties, and mental health struggles—a prescription that leads us to joy. Through the lens of John 1, Pastor Paul unpacks how Jesus, the Logos, is the ultimate reality, grounding us in truth and transforming our perspective. He also dives into the connection between faith and obedience, emphasizing that true belief isn’t just about what we claim but is demonstrated in how we live. Obedience is the key to unlocking the joy and peace Jesus promises, showing us that faith without action leads to dissonance, but when we align our lives with God’s truth, we find lasting joy and well-being.
Light, Life, Belief
September 15, 2024 • Paul A. Berthiaume • John 1
This week in the "Escape Into Reality" series, Pastor Paul explores the powerful themes of light, life, and belief from John 1. In a world where truth is often distorted, Jesus—the Word made flesh—reveals what is real, grounding us in the truth. As the light of the world, Jesus exposes what we hide in darkness, freeing us from what enslaves us. Through Him, we find life in relationship with God and belief through obedience. Living in His light brings joy, clarity, and true freedom. Join us as we step into the light of Christ and rediscover reality.
The Logos
September 8, 2024 • Paul A. Berthiaume • John 1
This week Pastor Paul invites us to dive deep into the profound concept of the "Logos," as revealed in the Gospel of John. In this message, we are reminded that Jesus is the Logos—God’s spoken word, logic, and reality brought to life. Pastor Paul unpacks how the Logos is not just a philosophical idea, but the very embodiment of truth, reason, and order, making sense of a world often caught in chaos and delusion. He challenges us to ask ourselves: Are we listening to God's voice? In a culture filled with distractions, it's time to escape into the true reality found in Jesus. Join us as we reflect on how the Logos brings clarity, light, and life to a world that desperately needs it.
