I AM, Part 2 / The Bread of Life / John 6:22-40 Pastor Markus Witherspoon

April 12, 2026 Jesus declares that He is the “bread of life,” revealing that while we naturally chase things we believe will satisfy us, nothing in this world truly meets our deepest needs. He invites us to shift our focus from temporary, physical fulfillment to the eternal life only He provides, calling us to trust Him as our true source of purpose, identity, and satisfaction. About this Sermon Series: What if the God you’ve heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you’ve experienced? In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren’t just descriptions—they’re declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.
