Jesus presents himself to be the one who is the true vine. Where life, meaning, purpose, community and ritual all exist. There is no other source of this sort of existing outside of Christ. So what does life on the vine look like? What can we expect from it, and what should we embody?

Jesus identifies himself as the Way that troubled hearts of disciples like us find truth and life.

We live in a world with many different shepherds. Ideologies, beliefs and people who will lead us where they want to. In John 10 Jesus says that I am the good Shepherd. Evoking imagery from ancient near east practices, Jesus makes a remarkable claim as the one true shepherd who will not only lead the sheep to green pastures, but will do this at the cost of his own life. Join us as we look at another one of Jesus' I am statements in the Gospel of John.

Never was there any mission endeavor like the one the Jesus Christ undertook. As rescued disciples of his we are invited to follow his path to glory.

In healing the officials’s son Jesus demonstrates that he is indeed the Savior of the World and he graciously invites all disciples to a growing life of faith in Him.

As Jesus continues his self-revelation for disciples we see that he is the door to salvation, security and nourishment for all who will follow him.

Jesus declaration that “before Abraham was, I am” reminds us as characters in the story of which He is the Author we will find our joy in drawing close to him.

In John 8 & 9 Jesus says that he is the light of the world. Light plays a theme throughout John's gospel, but what specifically do we learn about Jesus by this statement? What does it mean that Jesus is the light of the world? Jesus shines amidst the darkness that surrounds, reveals beliefs and gives life to those who follow him as the light of life.

In statements that are extremely clear yet with meanings unfathomably deep, Jesus proclaims that he alone is the Bread that will give life to hungry people.

John’s Gospel comes as a warm invitation to find our rest in Jesus of Nazareth who is the divine Son of God come to rescue a people in accordance with OT promises.
