In a world overflowing with opinions and options, Jesus makes a bold claim: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This session unpacks what that means for us today — offering real hope for those feeling lost, confused, or unfulfilled.

Jesus doesn’t just point us to a better path; He offers Himself. As the way, He walks with us. As the truth, He gives us a firm foundation. As the life, He offers joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances.

Jesus' claim is exclusive, but His invitation is for everyone. If you’re searching for direction, truth, or something more, come explore how Christ meets our deepest needs.

What if the path to real joy isn’t found in chasing happiness—but in remembering that life doesn’t last forever? In Ecclesiastes 7, we’re reminded that thinking about death can actually lead to a more meaningful life.

This session challenges us to consider the legacy we’re leaving and to bring our struggles into the light—especially when it comes to dark thoughts or hopelessness. True wisdom means living with eternity in mind, knowing that for believers, death is not the end but the beginning of eternal joy with Christ. When we live with the end in mind, we find true purpose and lasting joy. Don’t chase what fades—live with wisdom, hope, and eternity in view.
