    I AM: I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE - February 1, 2026 Second Service

    I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE John 11.1-44 Gordon Dabbs, PhD John 11.25-26 (ESV) I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. John 11.5 (ESV) Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. John 11.6 (ESV) When he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Jesus is not late—He is purposeful. John 11.8 (ESV) The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” “If I’m leading, you’re safe — even when it doesn’t feel safe.” John 11.11 (ESV) “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” John 11.15 (ESV) For your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. Sometimes our Lord allows situations to move past what we think is the point of no return—not to harm us, but to show us who He really is. John 11.21 (ESV) Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11.22 (ESV) But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you. That’s not a lack of faith. That’s real faith… wounded, but real. John 11.25 (ESV) “I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11.26 (ESV) “Do you believe this?” Not: Do you understand this? Does this make sense? John 11.27 (ESV) “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” John 11.33, 35 (ESV) Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled… Jesus wept. He shares our sorrow before He solves it. Jesus wept. Philippians 1.21 (CEV) If I live, it will be for Christ, and if I die, I will gain even more. The only people in Scripture who never celebrate their own resurrection… are the ones who had already tasted heaven. John 11.26 - “Do you believe this?” Do you believe… • That Jesus is not just able to give life—but IS life? • When His timing doesn’t match yours? • When He feels late? • When He lets the story go further than you wanted? Today, He asks you to believe Him when he says, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

    I AM: I am the Door - January 18, 2026 First Service

    I AM THE DOOR John 10.1-12 Gordon Dabbs, PhD John 10.1-9 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. Jesus chose to say something offensive: John 10.9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The Pharisees’ conclusions about Jesus: • John 9.16 (ESV) “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” • John 9.17 (ESV) “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” In a world where sheep were common, everyone knew how shepherds would lie down across the doorway/opening of the sheep’s pen at night. Nothing went in our out unless it went through the shepherd. John 10.9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The door doesn’t trap sheep in their pen, it protects them. 1 Timothy 2.5 (ESV) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus… John 14.6 (ESV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Acts 4.11-12 (ESV) This Jesus… there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus is the door. This means: • Evaluate what enters your life. • Stop trying to be your own gatekeeper. • Practice boundary holiness. • When anxious, return to the door. He stands in the opening and says, “I am the door.” The door that guards. The door that holds. The door that leads to life. Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise
