WORSHIP WITH US
Sunday Morning Worship
in person at 8:15 & 10:30 will also be live streamed on Facebook and Youtube Wednesday Mid-Week Lenten Worship 6:30 pm "I AM"Lenten Sunday Sermon Series
This series focuses on the “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John for the sake of intentional reflection on and proclamation of God becoming flesh. Let me say that again — God becoming flesh. The cross is many things; but first, it is the death of God. Let that sink in.
The “I AM” statements are more than just a novelty of the Fourth Gospel — they reveal, in all fullness (John 1:16), the identity of Jesus. “Obviously,” you might be thinking. But Lent is the season to remember one very important thing about what it means to be a Christian: that when Jesus goes to the cross, there goes God. ![]() Theme for Sunday, February 28 I AM the Light of the World Readers of John’s Gospel know Jesus is the light of the world since way back in the opening chapter, but it is only here, in John 8, that Jesus states it so clearly. Note that he does not say it to the disciples first. That revelation happens later in the story of the healing of the man born blind. No, “I AM the light of the world” is first for those who question it and condemn it. It is first for those who refuse it and reject it. It is first for those who, even if they don’t know it, need to hear it the most. It’s easy to testify to the true light that shines in the darkness to willing listeners. It’s far more difficult to give witness to Jesus as the light of the world when you are certain your witness will be rebuked and, in the end, rejected. We are to be the light of the world in the world — this is our reality now. Light that exposes people and systems and institutions that have used darkness to hide what they don’t want to be seen. It is light that shines in the lives of those who have known only darkness. Sunday's Text: John 8:12-20 Make plans to join us for worship we're expecting you!
