Getting Your Sermon Ready [The Everyday Pastor - Ep. 6]

In her TGCW24 message, Ruth Chou Simons unpacks Jesus’s statement “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” from John 14:1–14. 
 
When we believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we find comfort and hope, knowing that nothing in the world can shake this truth. Jesus’s claim is exclusive, and many will find it offensive. But the truth that no one can come to the Father except through Jesus is the greatest comfort for troubled hearts. Christ, the perfect offering, is the only One who could make a way to God for us.

Throughout scripture, we are compared to the sheep who go astray or get lost. We have a great need for continual care and vigilant protection, and Christ offers us that and so much more. He is a shepherd who seeks out the one lost sheep and rejoices at its discovery! He leads us, guides us, and restores our souls.

I Am the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18) | Courtney Doctor [TGC Podcast - Ep. 339]

At TGCW24, ﻿Vanessa Hawkins invites us to consider Jesus’s third I AM statement, “I AM the door" ﻿from John 10:1-10. 
 
There are times when we rely more on what Jesus gives us access to rather than resting in the truth that he himself is our access. Jesus is not merely our passage to eternal life with God—he is always more and better than we can imagine. As we turn to Jesus and learn from him, we will more clearly recognize his voice. As we read, study, and obey the Word of God, his voice will become easier and easier to follow. 
 
????ON THIS VIDEO: 
 
0:00 Welcome and setting the context: Jesus as the Door 
3:17 The positive impact of a father’s relationship 
5:49 Adam and Eve’s relationship with God and separation as a result of sin 
9:41 The promise of a Savior and the closing of a door 
12:55 Those who do not enter the sheepfold by the door are thieves and robbers 
19:55 A real threat: the enemy's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy 
23:58 What are the spiritual thieves and robbers in our lives 
28:38 Jesus's promise of abundant life and what it truly means for us 
33:28 Walking in obedience and embracing the invitation from Jesus 
34:12 The power of death defeated and the hope of resurrection 
37:58 Enter through the Door ﻿and walk into the Father's presence with bold access

At TGCW24, ﻿Vanessa Hawkins invites us to consider Jesus’s third I AM statement, “I AM the door" ﻿from John 10:1-10. 

There are times when we rely more on what Jesus gives us access to rather than resting in the truth that he himself is our access. Jesus is not merely our passage to eternal life with God—he is always more and better than we can imagine. As we turn to Jesus and learn from him, we will more clearly recognize his voice. As we read, study, and obey the Word of God, his voice will become easier and easier to follow.

I Am the Light of the World (John 8:12-30) | Jen Wilkin

At TGCW24, Melissa Kruger teaches on Jesus’ declaration in John 6, “I AM the Bread of Life.” 
 
The day before the events in this passage, Jesus fed a large crowd by miraculously multiplying bread and fish. But Jesus has something greater than their physical needs in mind—he wants to meet their spiritual needs. He extends an invitation to be satisfied and sustained in him, telling his listeners then and now that he is “the living bread that came down from heaven.” Jesus is the Bread of Life who offers good news for spiritually hungry people. 
 
????ON THIS VIDEO: 
00:00 How Jesus often uses physical things to teach spiritual truths 
7:26 The persistent problem: Seeking satisfaction in the wrong places 
21:08 The surprising solution: Jesus as the Bread of Life 
26:34 The difficult decision: Believing in Jesus and seeking him daily 
31:25 The call to invite others to the feast
