I Am, 2 of 7 from March 8, 2026 “Jesus lights up things we cannot see on our own.” John 8-9 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks) SUMMARY This sermon explores Jesus’s declaration “I am the bread of life” from John 6, challenging listeners to examine what truly satisfies them and to recognize how often they approach Jesus with selfish, temporary desires.
