I Am

This sermon explores the profound statement made by Jesus in John 8:58, "Before Abraham was, I am." It argues that this statement challenges our earthly, human-centric understanding of God. By focusing on the "paternity of God" rather than the "paternity of man," Jesus reveals a truth that transcends human limitations. Pastor Will then encourages listeners to examine their own beliefs and traditions, asking whether they are based on scripture and God's will or on human-made constructs. It emphasizes that our actions and obedience reflect who we truly worship and, in turn, who we consider our Father to be. The sermon ultimately calls us to move beyond our earthly perspectives and embrace an eternal perspective, allowing us to see God's work in all things and recognize His presence in the very systems we create.
