I AM, Part 4 / Door of the Sheep / Good Shepherd / John 10:1-21 Pastor Markus Witherspoon

April 26, 2026 Jesus doesn’t just offer advice for life, He offers Himself as the Door and the Good Shepherd. In a world full of competing voices, false promises, and anxious fears, we need to ask ourselves one powerful question: whose voice am I following? Christ leads, protects, and lays down His life so we can experience the freedom, security, and fullness our souls are searching for. 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.
