I AM
The Vine
April 13, 2024 • Shawn Johnson
Pastor Shawn Johnson closes out our “I Am” series with a message on Jesus’ statement, “I Am the Vine.” He reminds us that there are practical ways to stay connected to God and therefore find purpose in our lives. When we pray, find God-centered community, and get into The Word we find ourselves closer to our Creator and we see the fruit of walking with Him in our lives.
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
April 6, 2024 • James Powell
Pastor James preaches on the sixth “I Am” statement in the Gospel of John where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, the life.” Jesus takes Thomas’s questions about ‘when?’, ‘where?’, and ‘how?’ and replies with a ‘who.’ All we need to do is look to Jesus. He can handle our doubts and our questions and He will lead us through those questions into deeper relationship and eternal life through Him.
The Door
March 16, 2024 • Doug Wekenman
Doug Wekenman continues our "I Am" series with Jesus' third "I Am" statement in the gospel of John where He says, "I am the door." In this one statement Jesus proclaims that He is the one and only way to abundant life both here on earth, and forever in Heaven. The door is not exclusive, but it is specific. Jesus came to save everyone, and in His perfect love and grace He gives us the option to choose Him or to choose our own way. He made a way when there was no way!
The Light of the World
March 9, 2024 • Shawn Johnson
Pastor Shawn continues our "I Am" series with the second "I Am" statement from the Gospel of John, "I am the light of the world." He gives us context into the true magnitude of that statement to its original audience. The same life-altering message of freedom that it offered back then is true for us today.
The Bread of Life
March 2, 2024 • Doug Wekenman
Doug Wekenman kicks off a new series about the book of John. The "I Am" series will explore the seven "I Am" statements Jesus makes in the Bible and ask the question, "Who is God?" Jesus says He is the "Bread of Life" and that means that not only is He our provision (what we need) but He is also our satisfaction (what we want). When we look to Him as our source, we find that only He can satisfy our deepest hunger.
