Week Two: Jesus is the Bread of Life

John 6:35

July 14, 2019 • Jon Thompson

Welcome to week two in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus.

God knows that we all long for eternity and the things that are eternal. This is one of the reasons that Jesus came to His day, and our day; to reveal how defective our view of life, existence, things and eternity really are and to FREE us from it.

Jesus comes to give food from heaven, He comes to reveal who He is and what He has to give, both in endless supply!

This is why Jesus calls himself the bread of life!

Week Eight: Jesus is the True Vine

August 25, 2019 • Jon Thompson

Welcome to week eight in our series of the “I am” statements of Jesus. This week, Pastor Jon is wrapping up our series discussing Jesus’ statement “I am the true vine”. Jesus used the reference of a vine to not only reaffirm that He is God, but also that He is the better Israel. He is the one each person must connect to, to be part of God’s people. Just like how a gardener would tend to the vines growing in their vineyard, he lifts us up and cleans/prunes us. With our society facing an increasing epidemic of loneliness and disconnect this verse gives us so much hope about what Jesus is pursuing. It’s all about relationship as we are Jesus’ limbs, made to bear His fruit and share in His life. Jesus as the wine is the antidote to loneliness, the same yesterday, today and forever.

Week Seven: Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life

August 18, 2019 • Ben Hilson

Welcome to week seven in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week Pastor Ben is sharing about the radical inclusivity of Jesus’ statement in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life.” In a world that encourages everyone to find their own way, Jesus’ audacious claim leaves many uncomfortable. But who else can show us to God, but God. God is the only one that can lead us to Himself and He demonstrates who He is through Jesus. Jesus makes a way through His death and resurrection, taking the sins of the world upon Himself and He makes a way, by being the way. And that is why the Gospel is so scandalous. Because at the root of it is the idea of grace, and it’s extended to everyone.

Week Six: Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life

August 11, 2019 • Angela Mason

Welcome to week six in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. When Jesus says in John 11:25, “I am the Resurrection and the Life” He was adding something so significant to what the Jewish people believed about their hope of being resurrected after death. Against all odds, the irreversible will be reversed. Jesus has the power to give eternal life but as if that isn’t enough, He says whoever lives in me, will be spiritually awakened and no longer live as if they are spiritually dead. Transformed living in the now; a new creation. Life that’s isn’t in bondage to addiction. Life that can be free from fear. Life full of purpose. We don’t have to wait for abundant life. This resurrection is found in a person: Jesus. Series: Jesus is Series Description: This summer we are going to walk through 9 amazing “I am” statements and visuals given by Jesus.
