Pastor Ryan Smith teaches on Jesus' declaration, "I Am the Light of the World," in our series on the "I Am" statements of John's gospel. To a world wandering in darkness, Jesus offers himself as the guide and source to this world and our lives in it, yet in the surrounding story we are warned that the same light that graciously opens eyes to give sight can also cause others to close their eyes and become blind.

Who Do You Think You Are?
From the series "I Am". John 8:31-59
Pastor Ryan Smith begins our series looking at the "I Am" statements of Jesus in John's Gospel. In each of these statements, we are invited not only into Jesus' understanding of himself, but his perspective on us. We begin with one of Jesus' greatest claims of himself and the backlash that ensues. Through the heated conversation, we are forced into a life-altering decision about Jesus' identity and our own.
