     | 2,901 views

    We will look at the marvellous "I AMs" of John’s Gospel, which mean “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament. It's used in John 6 where the disciples battled the storm and Jesus drew near with the assurance and authority of “I, I AM”.

    A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 1 SHORT INTRODUCTION In John’s Gospel there are found very crucial sayings of the Lord Jesus all containing “I AM”.

    When God threatens to withdraw His presence, the critical danger demands that leaders plead with the Lord to stay near.

     | 215 views

    Loneliness is one of the most common human experiences. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. Seasons of loss, transition, fear, or exhaustion often whisper the same lie: You are on your own.

    The Spirit of the Age Preparing for what’s coming!

    A believer is to be like a tree planted near a river of water. We must reach deep to draw from the water of God’s written word while also reaching up toward the Son to hold on to a spoken word from God.

    My Heart is Fixed in 2006 My mission in 2006 is to assemble a body of believers. Believers walk by faith, not by sight. Believers trust in the Lord with all their heart and lean not to their own understanding. Believers believe! It sounds like a simple task but most people have been trained by ...read more
