Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus makes seven exclusive "I AM" statements using the definite article "the" to assert His unique identity as the sole way, truth, and life.
- 2.In John 8:58, Jesus declared "Before Abraham was born, I am," intentionally invoking the divine name revealed to Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3:14.
- 3.Jesus cannot be reduced to merely a great moral teacher or prophet because His explicit claims to divinity force a choice to either reject Him or worship Him as Lord and God.
- 4.Being in Christ means believers are directly united to God Himself rather than merely following a human prophet or messenger.
- 5.Because Jesus is the eternal God who exists outside of time and conquered death, no trial, illness, or obstacle in life is greater than Him.
- 6.Understanding Jesus's divine claims equips believers to give a thoughtful and reasonable defense of their faith based on Jesus's own words.

Sermon Moments
“"Before Abraham was born, I exist. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever."”
“"You need to help people make the connection between the burning bush and the Temple Mount so they can understand what Jesus meant when He said, 'I AM.'"”
“"When Jesus says 'I am the way,' He's not saying, 'I am going to show you how to get to God.' He is saying, 'I want to show you that you're looking at God.'"”
“"Being in Christ doesn't mean you have the phone number of a prophet in your phone; it means you are actually joined to God."”
“"In Christ, you are now found in God, not trying to make it to God."”
“"You don't just have a transformational teacher in your story; you have a transformational God in your story."”
“"Depression is real, darkness is real, challenges come, cancer is real—but none of them are bigger than my God."”
