The Great I Am John 8:48-59 Part 1 of the “I AM” sermon series Pastor Shawn Thornton – February 4 & 5, 2017

The infinite God of the universe exists totally apart from time and space, but is with you everywhere

you go and in every moment of your day. The Great “I AM”…

#1 Expressed in the Name of God (Exodus 3:14-15)

-He is all-sufficient in and of Himself (He needs and wants nothing)

-He is always present with His children (He was, He is, and He is to come)

#2 Embodied in the Life of Christ (John 8:58-59)

-Jesus claimed to be the Great “I AM” with authority (by His words and by His works)

-Others rejected the claim of Christ as blasphemy (some were angered and some were overwhelmed)

#3 Experienced in our Walk with Christ

-through His grace that saves and keeps us (2 Timothy 1:9)

-through His Spirit’s presence in us (1 Corinthians 3:16)

-through His power that changes us (2 Corinthians 5:17)

-through His family that loves us (John 13:35)

So, what does this mean for you today?

1. You are never out of God’s presence

2. You are never outside of God’s power
