Speaker: Ben Hilson Scripture: John 10:11 Sermon Description: Welcome to week five in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. This week we are diving into Jesus as the Good Shepherd. As Pastor Ben shares,  Jesus is not just good in our understanding of the word…but is actually the True, Authentic Shepherd that would lay down His life for His sheep. Jesus, knowing that like sheep we are helpless in dealing with our sin, comes to do it for us. When we choose to repent of our sins and embrace the love our Good Shepherd offers us, we experience REAL freedom in a loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Speaker: Jon Thompson Scripture: John 10:9 Sermon Description: Welcome to week four in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. With more and more doubts and questions arising about this man who claims to be God, Jesus continues into what would be His last public address. Sheep, a very common animal of the day, were noticeably limited in their intelligence and ability to stay the path. Jesus boldly states that we are like sheep, who have gone astray. Because sheep are so susceptible to attack and wandering, most homes had a pen built and often had a hired gatekeeper to protect he one way in and out. Any other attempt to enter the pen without going through the gate Jesus calls “a thief and a robber”. Jesus is not claiming to be the gatekeeper, but rather the gate. He is the door. He is the ultimate protector and provider for all the sheep. There is only one way to eternal life and His name is Jesus.   Series: Jesus is  Series Description:  This summer we are going to walk through 9 amazing “I am” statements and visuals given by Jesus.

Speaker: Jon Thompson Scripture: John 8:12 Sermon Description: Welcome to Week Three in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. In John 8, right on the temple grounds, at the heart of the Jewish faith, Jesus himself states, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This claim is shocking, not only to those in his midst as he said it, but for us today as well. Jesus says that they only way not to walk in darkness is to follow Him. And if we don’t? So much is at stake! Jesus is the only one strong enough, pure enough, enlightening enough and powerful enough to show us our darkness, break our darkness, free us from our darkness and to change us to know what darkness and light even are! Jesus is the only light for the whole world, and if you walk in Him you will not be in darkness any longer.

Speaker: Jon Thompson Scripture: John 6:35 Sermon Description: Welcome to week two in our series on the I AM statements of Jesus. God knows that we all long for eternity and the things that are eternal. This is one of the reasons that Jesus came to His day, and our day; to reveal how defective our view of life, existence, things and eternity really are and to FREE us from it. Jesus comes to give food from heaven, He comes to reveal who He is and what He has to give, both in endless supply! This is why Jesus calls himself the bread of life!

Speaker: Joel Penney Scripture: Exodus 20:13-14 Sermon Description: This week we tackle the 6th and 7th Commandments: do not murder, and do not commit adultery. These are heavy topics, so to address them we need to understand the true meaning of the Old Testament texts where these commandments are found, and then explore the implications for what they mean for daily life. In both cases, Jesus himself takes these commandments and expands upon them in the Sermon on the Mount. The bottom line: we are all more sinful than we could ever imagine, yet at the same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope (Tim Keller).
