Jesus the Great I AM

About this message

In this opening message of the I AM series, Phil introduces all seven "I AM" statements of Jesus from John's Gospel—each one revealing how Jesus brings us life—and then focuses on the first: "I AM the bread of life" (John 6:35). Through the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, Phil shows how the crowd pursued Jesus for what he could do, missing the deeper truth that he alone satisfies our deepest hunger and thirst, and challenges us to examine the "contender gods" in our lives that demand our devotion but leave us empty. As you listen, ask yourself: Am I truly feeding on Jesus as my spiritual sustenance, or am I nibbling at the table of the world, and will I let all of him consume all of me?
