I AM the I AM

The start of this new series on the I AM statements of Jesus takes us back to the burning bush in Exodus 3, where God reveals his presence to Moses. This scene is all about God stepping into our lives, especially during tough times. Fast forward to the moment when Jesus walks on water and declares “I AM," linking back to that same foundational truth about God. Both instances highlight how God is not distant or disconnected, but rather intimately involved in our lives and struggles. In this series we will unpack these profound connections, reminding us that just as God was with Moses in a powerful, personal way, he continues to be present with us through Jesus, reinforcing his commitment to walk alongside us, especially in our most challenging moments.
