I Am

March 5           "I Am" 

Exodus 3:14, Mark 6:50 & John 8:48-58

"I Am" is God's name that He gave Moses on Mt. Sinai, but it's also a name that Jesus claimed for himself in the Gospels to help us more fully understand who He is.

Ash Wednesday

"I Am"

Lent is the season of preparation for Easter, a time to reflect deeply on Jesus- his identity, teachings, and death on the cross—so we can fully understand and celebrate His resurrection. This year, we will focus on the "I am" statements in the Gospel of John. While all four Gospels include instances where Jesus uses the Greek phrase "ego eimi," meaning "I am," John's Gospel records Jesus doing so over 30 times, more than twice the other Gospels combined. Among these, seven instances feature profound metaphors that Jesus used to describe Himself.  Throughout Lent, we will explore these seven metaphors, gaining a deeper and richer understanding of who Jesus was and is.
