I Am – Discovering Who Jesus Is 

Description:  In the Old Testament God declared Himself through a burning bush:  “I Am.”  In this guide we explore the ways that Jesus expanded that simple declaration.  Jesus made some bold claims:  “I am the resurrection.”  “I am the bread of life.”  “I am the way.”  His claims are still true in our grief, fear and uncertainty.  These eight studies help us see Jesus more clearly and live with hope and confidence because of who He is.
