‘I AM’ series message 2

This week we read John 14:6, “I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” This is another powerful declaration our Lord leaves behind for us to study, meditate on, and believe. It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we might have eternal glory in the Father's house.

‘I AM’ series message 1

Jesus makes seven ‘I AM’ statements in the gospel of John. In our new series, we will examine one ‘I AM’ statement each week, allowing us to see how Christ describes Himself. The message this week is from John 11:25. Here, Jesus confirms death on earth is not the end, but the beginning. Jesus makes the incredible proclamation, “I am the resurrection and the life.” What resurrection and life is Jesus talking about exactly? In this message, we unfold the most significant miracle of Jesus’s earthly ministry.

Text: 1 Peter 4:7-11

In Peter’s letter to the churches of Asia Minor, he is helping them to understand their place in the Story of God and presenting them with hope that will carry them through suffering, persecution, and hardship.  In the midst of this, Peter exhorts these believers with a trilogy of “one anothers.”  As we complete our series on the “one anothers,” we will see how this trilogy creates a beautiful picture of the Kingdom of God that gives us hope and purpose for today.

Text: James 5:13-16

In this letter James is focused on practical Christian living and stresses that we are not to just be hearers of the word, but in fact we are to be doers of the word. While stressing that we are not saved by our good works; our good works are evidence that our faith is real and a faith without works is dead.  He stresses that God is the giver of every perfect gift and that through various trials our faith is tested and we are to stand fast and not be double-minded.  As we go through various trials he encourages his fellows brother and sisters in Christ to confess their sins to one another and pray for each other that they may be healed.

Text: Selected verses in Ephesians

Even though the Spirit has sealed us for the day of redemption, that redemption has still to be consummated. In the intervening period, we are not to do anything that will grieve the Spirit. Because we have been forgiven by God, believers are to forgive one another.

Text: Ephesians 4:25

Paul discusses specific aspects of the old self that must be ‘put off’ so that a new self can be ‘put on’. Our thoughts, attitudes and deeds are controlled by our minds, and thus it is important that a new mind, created in Christ Jesus, replaces the deceitful old mind that corrupted us. The first thing to be put off is falsehood or lying, which must be replaced by speaking truthfully to one’s neighbors. If the family of believers is truly united, they must be able to trust one another.

Text: 1 Peter 5:5

God calls us to intentionally cultivate (clothe) humility as we relate to one another. We are to choose humility because God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. Our humility proceeds from the mercy and grace God has shown us.

Sermon Text: Galatians 6:1-10

Last week we saw how we are to resist the flesh and walk in the Spirit by serving one another through love. We will continue in Galatians this week as we see how love and service is fleshed out in the way we treat one another. How do we respond when one of our family falls? How do we support one another, even when we are weary ourselves? We are called to follow the example of our Lord and bear one another’s burdens!
