I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

In our last I AM statement sermon, we consider the exclusive claim that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. How could someone so exclusive bring peace to our troubled hearts? We will see Christ caring for his disciples at the end of his life by pointing to the only source of peace, himself.

I. In Christ, your future is secure

II. In Christ alone is salvation for a troubled heart
