Back to Life

Closer, Pt. 1 | August 4, 2024Pastor Bria GilmoreWhere there is intimacy, there has to be proximity.Back to Life ✓ John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.✓ John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”✓ John 10:9-10 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.✓ John 11:25 “I am the resurrection and the life”✓ John 14:6 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life”Genesis 2:9 ESV - And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:16–17 ESV - And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”Jesus came and gave us another chance to choose Life.Life isn’t something to be understood, it’s Someone to be received.Questions to ask: Is this me or is this life? Am I striving or am I resting?
