A branch that isn’t connected to a vine won’t bear fruit. In today’s I AM statement, Jesus will teach his disciples that they must abide in Him if they wish to bear the fruit of Love.

As Jesus sits down with his disciples in his final hours, he brings to them the terms of the marriage covenant: You must believe that I am the way to the father, I am the transcendent truth, and I am the only way to life. Our response to these terms determines the rest of our lives.

All of us are being led somewhere, the question is, which voice are we allowing to lead us? With this claim in John 10, Jesus will declare: the only way to the abundant life is if you follow me because I AM the Good Shepherd.

Light is essential for our sight, our safety, and our survival. The claim Jesus makes in John 8 is that if you want see in a way that leads to the good life, you have to come to him.

Every human goes through life looking to find soul level satisfaction. While many options promise life, there is only one permanent place of healing: The one who claims to be the bread of life.

I AM is the self proclaimed name God gives himself to assure his people of his faithfulness. The gospel of John exists to show us that I AM has come down to dwell among his creation, but before the crowd is introduced to the I AM, we meet a man who can't wait to tell us who he's NOT.

We conclude our series on prayer by examining the prayer language that undergirds all of our prayer life: Praise. God’s love has invaded our lives in more ways than we can count, so we respond in worship

Jesus taught his disciples to talk to God about their sin. The propensity to hide and cover has been a mark of humanity since sin entered the world and robs us of being fully known. Prayer that includes confession is the pathway to becoming fully known

Psalm 10 gives us a picture of praying your pain. Over and over in scripture we’re faced with the reality that evil and injustice exist. In those moments, God’s people are invited to neither abandon their emotions or to allow the emotions to control them, but rather to pray their emotions.

Our 28 days of prayer start off with a look at Psalm 1. There are two primary ways people relate to God and this opening prayer will lead us towards a declaration that God’s ways are best. Our desire is to orient our lives around his vision of the blessed life.
