Pastor C.'s Sermon

Facebook---- "George is..............." How many ways can you describe yourself with the verb "to be"? (No, Facebook did not make it into the sermon, I just made up that part.)

Jesus leaves us with 7 "I AM" statements in the book of John. What are they there for and why did he choose these particular 7 ways to express his personality?
I AM the bread of life chap. 6
I AM the light of the world chap. 8
I AM the door of the sheep chap. 10
I AM the Good Shepherd chap. 10
I AM the resurrection and the life chap. 11
I AM the way, the truth and the life chap. 14
I AM the true vine chap. 5

All 7 are positive and full of grace. The main message that Jesus wanted to convey to the world is that He desires a close relationship with us. He is saying that He cares about my daily life, a moment by moment sort of caring is in these 7 statements.

Where do I look for my satisfaction? Where do I look for my needs to be met? There are so many voices calling out to us to draw us away from the Shepherd. Stay in tune with Him by reading and meditating on His Word. Do you want to know Him in a daily way? Then read and study daily!!!!
