Today we will establish the fact that the church is the gate to heaven and Jesus is the ladder. He is the way to heaven.

Why did Jacob call this place where the ladder stretched from earth to Heaven the House of God?

1. The Church is a Place of God’s Presence
Church is a place where you become aware of God’s presence. The presence of God is what makes church different than any other place in the world.

2. The church is a Place of God’s Protection
     Where God’s presence is, His protection will be as well.

3. The Church is a Place of God’s Provision
Where God’s presence is, His provision will be as well.

That’s what church is all about. When you become aware of the presence of God and you commit everything you have to the LADDER – the Lord Jesus Christ.
