  • I AM: the Way, Truth, Life

    I can not recall where I read it, but I read a thing that said, all religions are like a river and flow into the same sea. This is a popular thought in the world today. When we claim Jesus alone grants salvation, people are offended and say we are…

  • I AM: the Resurrection and Life

    A common life event many of us can share is the losing of a loved one. We miss our loved one when they have died. We long to talk to them and spend time with them. No human can really comfort the pain from losing a loved one in such…

  • I AM: the Good Shepherd

    34 David answered Saul, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its…

  • I AM: Door to the sheep

  • I AM.

    I decided to start a new series called the I AM series. Throughout the New Testament we find Jesus declaring many “I AM” statements. What is I AM? Why is it important? 14 God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites:…

  • Love.

    Love: affection for a person or an object. There are many different attributes we could apply to the word love and most be appropriate. However, when we examine the word love from God’s Point of view, we get a very different picture of what love is. Love is the foundation…

  • Hope.

    Hope: the desire to see something happen or become true. It is hard to survive without hope. Because of this, we tend to put our hope in objects, experiences, and people. This leads us to great disappointments when our expectations are unrealistic and mismanaged. We need to place our hope…

    Yesterday I wrote faith is: simply putting trust or confidence in something or someone and having a belief that is not based on proof. Worldly faith is different from the faith I am addressing here. A great example of the faith we are talking about can be found in 1…
