What Are We Doing? The Purpose of Doors

This message challenged us to pause and ask an honest question: What are we doing, and why does it matter? Throughout Scripture, doors represent access, direction, protection, and decision. Jesus makes this unmistakably clear in John 10:9, when He declares, “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” Jesus is not just pointing to a path—He is the way in. He alone provides true safety, freedom, and life.

The sermon reminded us that not every door is meant to be opened, and not every opportunity leads to life. John 14:6 reinforces this truth: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Our culture encourages many doors, many truths, and many ways—but Scripture tells us there is one door that leads to salvation, peace, and eternal life, and that door is Jesus.

Ultimately, the purpose of doors is not about curiosity or convenience—it’s about obedience and trust. We are called to stop striving to build our own entrances and instead walk confidently through the door God has already provided. When we choose Jesus, we aren’t just choosing a belief; we are stepping into a transformed life, led, protected, and sustained by Him.
