Noah Herrin preaches from John 14, arguing that the world's promises of success and self-made "ways" ultimately leave us empty. Using a humorous college story about "adventure photography," he illustrates how people follow confident leaders and ladders of achievement that do not satisfy. Herrin points to Jesus' claim, "I am the way," explaining that salvation is not earned by climbing a moral ladder but is given because Jesus came down to meet us in our brokenness. He frames Way Church's mission as reaching down to the lost, inviting listeners to try Jesus and enter a community that reflects heaven. The sermon closes with an invitation to respond and a brief prayer of commitment.
“I will come to you in your most broken it's your most addicted in the mess at the bottom of the ladder I will come to you I will love you while you were still a sinner Christ died for you while you were a long ways off Jesus came running to you” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Salvation is a gift from Jesus, not the result of climbing a moral or success ladder; respond by trusting Christ, not by trying to earn acceptance. Way Church's mission is to reach down to people who feel lost, creating a community unbelievers want to be part of. If you are searching for 'a way,' consider exploring a relationship with Jesus and joining a community that serves others.

Do Your Job | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that work is part of God's good design - given before the Fall - and should be understood as worship, not punishment. He develops that idea by showing how the Hebrew word avoda links work and worship, urging Christians to do their jobs with excellence as an act of service to God.
OBSESSED | Chad Veach
Chad Veach preaches from Ezra 7:10 and calls the congregation to be 'obsessed' with Jesus. He draws three practical steps from Ezra's devotion: learn the Word, live the Word, and teach the Word.
