Jesus Christ—the One and Only

As Jesus was preparing to leave His disciples to ascend into Heaven to be with His Father, He offered them some comforting promises and gave them a glimpse of heaven. Thomas, one of His disciples, boldly expressed his concerns of not knowing where He was going, and how to access Him after His ascension.

At this point in the conversation, Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6 NIV

Let this sink in:

Jesus – The Way

Jesus – The Truth

Jesus – The Life

Jesus, “the Way”

Jesus is the only path to salvation and eternal life. There is no other way to come to God except through Jesus. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. -1 Timothy 2:5-6 NIV. He is our mediator and friend; anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour can gain eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16 NIV

Jesus, “the Truth”

In a world filled with deceptions and lies, sometimes it may feel like truth cannot be found anywhere. Where it is found, your truth is as true as mine, even though it may be completely different or contradictory. The good news however is that Jesus Christ is the only truth, and everything He says is true. When we believe in Jesus, we do not just believe in a concept or an idea but in a person who is truth itself.

Jesus, “the Life”

Jesus offers us not just physical life but eternal life. When we put our faith in Jesus, we receive a new life, free from the power of sin and death. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! -2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV. We have the assurance that when we place our faith and trust in God, He will mould us in His likeness and prepare us to spend eternity with Him in heaven.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. May you be motivated and inspired with this assurance as you seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. If you are unsure about your direction, I encourage you to draw closer to Jesus and let Him fill your life with hope and peace. If you need any help, please get in touch. The Elim Oasis Church family is here for you.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30 am. We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10 am, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through the main (side) door, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. Note we regret our toilets are not wheelchair friendly, however, we can assist to ensure safe access and use.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30 am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship; typically have three or four songs lasting approximately 25 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We may finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

Getting Connected

Oasis Life and Prayer

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of Elim Oasis Life and Prayer allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. Seth leads this ministry, so We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
