This Sunday we talked about a major I AM statement of Jesus, that he is the Bread of Life. We all know what hunger and thirst feels like in our lives and we know that no matter how much we eat or drink we will at some point need more food and drink. Often times […]

This Sunday we looked at a very familiar story of Jesus walking on the water. We discussed two very important ideas in this passage: Jesus is the ‘I AM’ and we can trust him no matter the circumstances. Even when a dangerous storm was coming to destroy the disciples on the boat, the reality of […]

We began our 2nd part in what We Believe about the Family. We discussed the issue in our culture where feelings and experiences determine what truth is.

We learned that we can’t really understand this story without taking all of chapter 5 to understand the importance of what Jesus is doing and his connection to Moses. When Jesus feeds the 5,000 the people ask if this is […]

This Sunday we studied more of John chapter 5 and saw how Jesus responded to the religious leaders who were mad at him for healing a man on the Sabbath. To make matters worse, Jesus equates himself with God and this makes the Jews want to kill him even more. They knew that for Jesus […]
