What does it mean that Jesus is “the way,” not just “the answer”?

Pastor Ken says Jesus is the answer to sin, but he never claims to be the answer to everything. He calls himself “the way, the truth, and the life.” Answers give us control and comfort, he argues, while the way asks for surrender and trust, so “God doesn’t give blueprints, he just gives next steps.”

Why would God send Philip into the desert right after a revival?

In Acts 8:26, an angel tells Philip to go south on the desert road to Gaza, with no destination given. Pastor Ken points out that Philip simply went, without demanding clarity first. On that road he met an Ethiopian official reading Isaiah, which Pastor Ken takes as proof that obeying a prompting can put you where someone else’s prayer is being answered.

Why was the Ethiopian official excluded, and what does his story say about belonging?

Pastor Ken says Deuteronomy 23 barred eunuchs from the temple, so this official traveled hundreds of miles to worship only to be turned away because of who he was. Yet God sent Philip to find him in the desert. Pastor Ken says this shows God pursues people that religion has shut out, and that if you’ve felt rejected at church, grace still sees you.

Why do I need other people to understand the Bible?

The official was reading Isaiah but didn’t yet know who it was about, and asked Philip to explain (Acts 8:34). Pastor Ken argues God designed Scripture not to be read in isolation and that community points us to Jesus. He encourages joining a small group so you can live out your faith with accountability rather than only reading alone.
