As the second "I AM" statement, Jesus announces at the Festival of Tabernacles "I am the light of the world." Check out why this context sheds light on this impactful claim of Jesus and how it helps us to understand how we shine the light of Christ in a darkened world. 

This was our Father's Day 2021 sermon. We hope you will enjoy it!

Jesus' first claim in John 6:35 is, "I am the bread of life" and it comes with some heavy implications about Jesus' divinity, mission and obedience to the Father's will. You will hear about how Jesus' claim was purposeful for his audience and for us today as we strive to live in light of the work of God, which is to believe in the one he has sent. Have a blessed week!

Welcome to our first sermon on Jesus' 7 I AM Statements. John records 7 statements where Jesus uses the phrase “I AM” about himself, to make himself equal with God. His original audience would be transported back to the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3. In Exodus 3, God reveals himself to Moses and to us to make his presence, power and purpose known. Listen in on how this interaction is not only important for understanding the narrative of the Bible, but how it is important for our lives.

In honor of Memorial Day, we are looking at how God desires us to highlight and remember his character through how He has been faithful to us by looking into how Joshua lead the Israelites to construct a memorial to remember the Jordan River crossing. 

We are finishing up our series in 1 John this week. In this passage, John's focus is continuing to live a life that glorifies the one true God and recognizing that eternal life comes through Jesus. I also summarize three very important things we have been challenged by in 1 John: 


To develop a more full and beautiful vision of the person, power and reward of Jesus Christ

To look in to our own discipleship as it relates to our intimacy with Jesus

To see evil in the world as it relates to our hope in Jesus to overcome evil and the devil
