August 14th, 2024

Sunday we leap into a new sermon series titled “I AM.” In the book of John there are seven primary "I AM" statements. Jesus shares who he is, and how that impacts our lives now and through eternity.

Jesus said...

1. I AM the Bread of Life: (John 6:35)

With Jesus, we are satisfied

2. I AM the Light of the World: (John 8:12)

With Jesus, we are never left in the dark

3. I AM the Gate: (John 10:7)

With Jesus, we have an open path to eternal life

4. I AM the Good Shepherd: (John 10:11)

With Jesus, we know His sacrifice and care protects us

5. I AM the Resurrection and the Life: (John 11:25)

With Jesus being raised from the dead, we are assured we will be too

6. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life: (John 14:5)

With Jesus, we have the assurance and truth of one way to eternal life

7. I AM the True Vine: (John 15:1,5)

With Jesus, we have all the spiritual nourishment we need to share His love

This week, in our Gospel reading, Jesus gives what is the first of seven emphatic “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John. Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty (John 6:35).

Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us everything we could ever need by giving us himself. See you Sunday as we worship the Great I AM.

I can’t wait! Pastor Austin
