Destination
The ultimate destination to which this Pathway leads is spiritual maturity. This spiritual maturity occurs when you are
well aquainted with each of the items on our Itinerary-- the "fruit of the Spirit" in your life.
But there other waypoints as well.
- First, we seek to unlock our spiritual life. This is done by finding forgiveness for our mistakes and
shortcomings. This forgiveness is readily available, for God has sent his son Jesus to make all of the necessary
payments on your behalf. His death on the cross is just what was needed and he calls to you to join him on the
Pathway. All you need to do is understand this, believe it, and accept it for yourself.
- The second stop is "belonging." You will find an authentic community where you will be loved and appreciated for
who you are, even if we don't look or act like those around us. The community isn't perfect, but we are gracious with
each other, and honest with each other, speaking to one another with love.
- Finally we will seek significance. Most everyone wants to make a lasting impact on their world and when we reach
this destination, we will find the journey really begins.
