The most important priority in life is our spiritual life. Our physical life is obviously high on our list of daily activities, but our spiritual life ultimately informs us how we are to live our life now and into eternity. I invite you to read through the pages on the right side of this blog to see how God created us to grow spiritually and receive guidance for our journey throughout our life. God gives us a clue of how to do this when he says in Isaiah 57:15, “I dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." Jesus Christ gives a further clue when he says in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

The Incredible Journey of Knowing, Loving, and Following Jesus Christ



                                 Pastor Bill Bergstrom

After thirty years of ministry as a pastor I have a growing concern for the spiritual state of the church and it’s decreasing impact on the culture. We live in a world that has rejected many of the truths and much of the morality of the Christian faith, resulting in a multitude of serious problems for people, families, and in every area of our culture. 

That is one of the reasons I wrote, “The Incredible Journey of Knowing, Loving, and Following Jesus Christ.” My desire is to help people overcome the results of not following Christ by helping them take the journey of deepening their faith in Christ or making the decision to become a follower of Jesus Christ. The book, using scripture, quotes from throughout history, songs, and my own explanation, helps the reader to explore what it means to go on the lifelong journey of knowing and progressively becoming more like Jesus Christ.

This journey God calls us to, looks inwardly at our character and outwardly at our actions, with the goal of growing in our love for God and people. The question is, how do we move toward having the image of Christ formed in us? A particularly good statement, that sums up the answer is: God wants to change what we ARE on the inside, and what we DO with our life!

To accomplish this the book seeks to explore questions such as: What is Christianity? Why is there evil in the world? Who is Jesus? What did Jesus do for us? How can we know Jesus? What does it mean to love Jesus? How do we follow Jesus? How can God use us to serve him as he brings his justice and righteousness to the world? And, what happens to us when we die?

The book can be used by an individual who wants to grow deeper in their faith or wants to become a Christian, in a small group, or to share with someone who has questions about Christianity.
