Another message in our "I Am" series - exploring the claims that Christ made in the gospel of according to John

Jesus challenges us with the notion that he is unlike any shepherd we could give ourselves to.  He is the good shepherd and can trust his leading because of his love.

Jesus claims to be the light which gives us life, truth, and the ability to know who we are.

God does not just give his people a plan to escape their mess; he gives them a Person.  God provides for us a Good Shepherd who will guide, protect us, and carry us.

God's people were going to be restored - that was a promise, but in the meantime they will experience a season of suffering.  In this message we examine how God delivers us from suffering, sustains us through suffering and how we gain a perspective through suffering.

Micah's tone now turns hopeful - that even though his people were about to experience exile; they could endure it knowing that God will keep His promises.  We too can endure the struggles of life if we continue to place our hope in the promises of God.
