Phil continues our The Great I AM series with the topic "Blessed is He"
Read OnlineJesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.” So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area. John 8:58–59When Moses encountered God in the burning bush, God revealed His name: I AM. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that this revelation of God's name “is at once a name revealed and something like the refusal of a name.” It expresses that God is “infinitely above everything that we can understand or say.” He is the “hidden God.” He is also a “God who makes himself close to men” at each and every moment of our lives (See CCC #206).In our Gospel today, Jesus identifies Himself with this hidden God. He states that He alone knows His Father and that the Father glorifies Him because He is the great I AM. To the people of that time, this was a shocking revelation, at least to those who failed to comprehend this truth in faith. But that mysterious name reveals to us not only the essence of God, it also reveals how we ought to relate to this infinite, hidden, exalted and glorious God.As Jesus revealed His identity, He did not say, “before Abraham came to be, I was.” He says, “I AM.” This reveals that Jesus not only existed before Abraham, but that His existence transcends all time. He always and everywhere IS. Though this might seem overly philosophical to some, it is an important concept to understand for two important reasons. First, it gives us greater insight into God. But, second, it reveals to us how we ought to relate to God every day.God is not a God of the past. He is not a God of the future. He is a God of the present moment. If we are to enter into a relationship with God, then we must realize that we can only encounter Him in the present moment. He is the Here and Now, so to speak. And we must seek Him here and now, in this present moment alone.Sometimes we find ourselves dwelling on the past. To the extent that our past has helped or hurt us in this present moment, we need to address it. But the way this is done is by seeking God's healing grace today, allowing the past to disappear into His abundant mercy. Other times we try to live in the future, becoming anxious about what is to come. But God does not dwell in the future for, to Him, all time is here and now. Therefore, we ought not to become anxious about the future, worry about it or try to live in it now. All we have is this present moment, and it is in this moment that God comes to meet us. He is here, and we must meet Him here, turning to Him and His grace today. Reflect, today, upon this deep and mysterious revelation from our Lord. Think about his identity as the great “I AM.” Ponder that name. Ponder its meaning. See it as a way by which Jesus is inviting you to encounter Him in this present moment alone. Live in this moment. The past is gone; the future is not yet here. Live where God exists, here and now, for that is the only place that you will meet our Lord. My Lord, You are the Great I Am. You transcend all time. Help me to meet You today, to let go of the past, to look forward to the future, and to live with You in this moment alone. As I meet You here, dear Lord, help me to love You with all my heart.

Welcome to Week 1 of our powerful new Easter series, The Great I Am. This week, Pastor Jamie launches us into a deep revelation of who Jesus truly is—not just a man from history, but the eternal "I Am" who steps into our brokenness with power, grace, and presence. Drawing from Exodus 3:14 and John 8, we explore how Jesus boldly declared, "Before Abraham was, I AM." That same divine presence that spoke to Moses from a burning bush showed up in the temple courts—stooping down into the dust of human failure to rescue a woman caught in adultery. What does it mean that God stoops down, writes in our dust, and lifts us up with no condemnation? What if the Great I Am is not here to accuse you, but to redeem you? In this message, you'll discover: ✔️ The connection between God's name and His manifest presence ✔️ Why Jesus is greater than Moses and how He fulfills the law ✔️ How grace empowers us beyond performance and shame ✔️ The deep symbolism behind Jesus' actions in John 8 ✔️ Why you can walk in light—free from condemnation This is more than a sermon—it's an invitation to encounter the One who is present in your pain, your questions, and even your mess. He is here. He is enough. And because of Him—so are you.

Send us a messageAs the Antichrist's “One World Religion” continues to be fashioned in “One World Governmental and Economic Empire” cooperation, the deceptions of the enemy are also working hand in hand to make their mark against the Truth of God's Word.One of his most strategic maneuvers involves the “Christ Consciousness” counterfeiting of the true Jesus of the Holy Scriptures which denies Who He really is; for the balance on which mankind's Eternal Life or death destiny is held depends on the true knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God and the Great I AM – for He alone is the Glorious Risen Savior of the world – and the only Way unto Salvation's Eternal Life, in reconciliation oneness with the Father in Heaven.That is why by knowing the Holy Scriptures in Truth and only by the interpretation of the Holy Spirit Himself, will mankind be assured the true knowledge of the genuine “Christ” and His Glorious Salvation Power that alone will set man free from sin's death and all of the power of the evil one.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

In Exodus 3, God reveals Himself as "I AM"—the One who is everything we need in every circumstance. When we feel inadequate, unworthy, or incapable, God reminds us: "I AM." He is our strength, our wisdom, and our sufficiency. Instead of focusing on our own limitations, we are called to trust in the Great I AM, who faithfully fulfills His promises and is always enough for us.
In this powerful message from "The Great I AM" series, Pastor Tim Dunn explores the meaning of Jehovah Nissi—The Lord is My Banner. This name, revealed in Exodus 17, reminds us that God fights for His people and gives them victory.Through the story of Moses, Joshua, and the battle against Amalek, Pastor Dunn unpacks how God's presence and power are our ultimate source of strength. This sermon challenges us to trust in Jehovah Nissi as our banner in spiritual battles, personal struggles, and moments of weakness. If you've ever felt weary in the fight, this message will encourage you to lift your eyes, stand firm in faith, and know that the battle belongs to the Lord. Through stories of David facing Goliath, Elisha's vision of angelic armies, and the promises of God's protection, Pastor Dunn reminds us that no battle we face is greater than the power of the Lord of Hosts. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, outnumbered, or uncertain, this message will encourage you to trust in Jehovah Sabaoth—the God who goes before you and fights for you.

Ps Andy continues the series on the word of God, this week speaking about the fact that The Word is Truth. Many other life philosophies and ideologies present themselves in the modern world but few remain constant and only God's Word is real or true Truth as Ps Andy explains.Andy revisits John 12:32 (NIV) "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself". This verse is prominent in this years' Family Church Vision statement. There's a principle here. When Jesus is lifted up, he causes multiplication and increase. It says "when I Am is lifted from the earth...". The Bible refers to God as the I am in the old and in the new testaments. Today we celebrate The Great I Am, which is Jesus Christ, when we choose to magnify His Word in our lives, the Word of God Bible scripture. We're causing multiplications when when we choose to magnify His word in our lives, things break out, breakthroughs occur. When we turn to God's word, it's the kind of truth that can transform us and set us free. Ps Andy speaks about how we need to abide in The Word, not use Jesus as breakdown service,,,, we need to purpose to be sold out for Jesus and Him alone. Mixing up ideologies in our lives will only cause chaos.This is a challenging message!

(Proverbs 9:10) While there are many things we do not know about God, there is much that we can know about God. He wrote it down for us! The deeper we go into Scripture the deeper we can go into our knowledge of God. (0941250214) ----more---- The Mystery of God There are many things that I do not know about God. There are many things that are beyond my understanding. And why is that? Because I am a finite being and He is an infinite God. And yet, isn't it glorious? Isn't it wonderful? That God, through His Word, has revealed Himself in such a way that there are many things we do know about God. So many people get stuck on the things they don't know and can't understand but they miss in that what they should know and what we can understand. The Fear of the Lord Is Beginning of Wisdom Proverbs chapter 9, verse number 10 says this, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy. Is understanding." Did you hear that expression? The knowledge of the holy, not of holy things, but of the holy one. Understanding God's Holiness In fact, holiness is the one attribute that is most often attached to God in Scripture. That does not mean that He is more holy than He is any of His other attributes. He's the perfection of all of them. You can't chop God up. You can't divide Him. He's not one. He is all. He's not more of one. He is perfectly all. But the reason Holiness is attributed to God more than any other thing in Scripture is that His holiness is the perfection of all of His attributes. Everything about God is holy. His knowledge, His power, His love, His mercy, His judgment, everything is a revelation of our holy God. Knowing God Through Scripture And I want to say to you that We should begin, when we are studying what the Bible says, by saying, Lord, we want to know our Holy God. We want to know Him personally. It's one of the great marvels of our God. He is both infinite and knowable at the same time. There's no limit to Him. There's no end to Him, and yet, there is a place to begin. We can know Him by finding out what Scripture says about Him. This is God's revelation of Himself. I heard for years preachers say that when we get to heaven, we're going to know everything. I don't believe that's what scripture teaches. The Bible says we will know even as we are known. But I believe when we get to Heaven, when we get into Eternity, we're going to spend the rest of Eternity entering in our knowledge and understanding more and more to the depths of our great God. I don't think you'll ever exhaust who God is. That's what's going to make Eternity such an ongoing adventure. More and more of His love and beauty and perfection. And friend, that journey is not to begin when we die or Jesus comes. It is to begin right here. And right now, it is to begin by us discovering what the Bible says about God. So what does the Bible say? We can't be exhaustive about this, certainly not in this brief time we have to study together. But may I just give you a few thoughts to, to meditate on today? Some things that you can study further for yourself and look for in Scripture. Attributes of God: Self-Existence and Immutability In Scripture, we learn that He is self-existent and self-sufficient. It means He is the Great I Am. The only limits on God are the ones He places on Himself. The limits of His own holy will. He holds back, for example, His justice with His mercy. God may limit Himself in certain areas at particular times, but there is no limit to Him. He is I Am. He's the only one who can say I Am and put nothing after it. He is the self existent and self sufficient one. Imagine Him saying to Moses, Tell them I Am sent you. I Am what? Yes. All of the above. More than you could ever imagine. Not only that, He's immutable. That means he never changes. James chapter 1 and verse number 17, Malachi chapter 3, verse number 6, all through scripture we get this truth. He says in Malachi 3 verse 6, "I am the Lord, I change not." God's Eternal Nature and Omnipresence And then, He is eternal. Eternity has no beginning and no end. It's like an open ended front and an open ended back. And God is beyond the limits in both directions. God's not in time. Time is in God. God holds time in the palm of His hand. He's the eternal God. Did you know that the word eternity is only found one time in all of Scripture? I would challenge you to find it. I could give you the reference, but I'm going to challenge you. I'll give you a homework assignment. See if you can find the one verse in the Bible where the word eternity is found, and in that verse, The Bible references the God who inhabits eternity. Think of a God so big, He fills up eternity. God is not bound by anything. Not by time or not by space. No, because He is the great I Am. God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence Then we know He's all powerful. Some people refer to that as His omnipotence. He is all powerful. He is omniscient. That means He knows everything. He's omnipresent. That means He's everywhere at once. If I say to you, where's God, some people say he's in heaven, other people say he's in my heart. The truth of the matter is, you can't limit Him to either place. He may be in both places, but He's everywhere at once. Psalm 139, the psalmist cries out, "Where then shall I go from thy spirit? Where then shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there, thy right hand shall hold me." God's everywhere. God's Faithfulness and Mercy And then we know that God is faithful. He is true. He never lies. He never fails to keep His word. He is a God of truth. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. We know He's a God of mercy and of goodness. That means He holds back what we don't deserve. And He, or what we do deserve rather, and He gives what we don't deserve. Think of that. He holds back the judgment and He gives good things. What was the Psalmist saying in Psalm 23, "Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." I tell you, you can't beat the Christian life. Mercy and goodness come to live with you now, and you go to live with the God of mercy and goodness for all eternity. I hope you know the Lord as your personal Savior. God's Justice and Love And then, we know He's a God of justice. And a God of righteousness. That's what the cross was all about. That's what Calvary revealed. God doesn't laugh at sin. He doesn't simply turn a blind. Turn a blind eye to our unrighteousness. Isaiah 53, verse 11. He saw the travail of Christ's soul and was satisfied his justice, his righteousness was satisfied at that moment. Then, praise God, we know He's a God of love. First John 4:16 says, "God is love." It's not just something He does, it's who He is. And then we come full circle back to where we started, He's a holy God. He's the thrice holy God. Do you remember? Isaiah chapter 6, what are they saying? Holy, Lord God Almighty. When you come to the revelation of Christ, what are they saying? "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was and is to come." The Father is holy, the Son is holy, the Spirit is holy. He was holy in the past, He is holy in the present, He always will be holy for all eternity He is the Holy God. Loving and Sharing the Knowledge of God I would challenge you to study the names of God all through scripture because his names reveal His character. Study His attributes, learn more about the God of the Bible, and I'll tell you what I think you'll find. Number one, you're going to love him more. To know him is to love him. And the more you come to see what the Bible says about God, the more you're going to say to the Father, I love you, I'm so glad to be your child. The more you're going to say to the Son, thank you for saving me and bringing me into this family. And the more you're going to say to the Holy Spirit, I'm so glad you're with me right now. Learn what the Bible says for your own soul, but then don't keep it to yourself. Pass it along to somebody else. Peter says, "Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." I hope today you'll both learn and share what the Bible says about our great God. Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. Outro We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our library of Bible teaching resources, including book by book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening, and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.

Story by: Gail NoblesGood evening this is Gail Nobles bringing you more on the topic the Great I AM.Oh, what power lies in that declaration! No other God can claim to be no other being can exist outside of his own will!He is the God of the impossible. Remember, he instructed Abraham to look toward heaven and he said: and tell the stars if they'll be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shell thy seed be.” (Genesis chapter 15, verse 5) Is where you'll find that.Millions who have come to know him as their savior. He is the God who raises the dead and calls things that are not as though they are. The phrase ‘God calls things that are not as though they are' is taken from Romans chapter 4 verse 17 in the Bible, where the apostle Paul discusses God‘s power to create and bring about reality from what does not yet exist. The full verse and context refers to God‘s promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, despite his old age and thebarrenness of his wife, Sarah. God wants us to trust in his plans even when the evidence seems contrary.I'm Gail Nobles. Keep these things in mind. The topic ‘The Great I AM' will continue later on in the show. Thank you for listening.

Send us a messageAs God's ambassadors of Truth, we must all the more be stationed in that unadulterated Word of Truth, following Paul's instructions in 2 Corinthians 11:4 to be on guard against anyone who comes preaching another Jesus or another gospel – and that warning has never been more urgent than it is today.Therefore, in these last prophetic minutes of the Last Hour, every spirit must be tested cautiously (1 John 4:l) to be sure it is of God – and to discern if the person has been “born again” from above and that they worship the genuine Jesus Who alone is the Living Word and Great I AM. For many false Christs have arisen – just as Jesus prophesied that they would – and are being followed by many who have been deceived by them.In this message, we continue to contend for the True Faith while exposing the many counterfeits - and the agents of darkness - who are being used by the enemy to promote the “One World Religion of the Antichrist” with “Be Ready” warning that the Ark of Salvation is soon to depart!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Discover the power and meaning of Yahweh's name and what it reveals about His character and love for humanity.
Psalm 148 exhorts not only people to praise the Lord, but all creation: angels, the stars, highest heaven, animals, insects, even weather, mountains. None is left out, from highest to lowest. Why do this? Can they respond to this exhortation? He is making a rhetorical statement: all this is… was made by the Great I Am, all of creation pours forth speech in praise to God…echoes of Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. The trees move in the wind, the song of the sparrow in flight, the crashing of the waves on the Outer Banks or the still silence of the Blue Ridge Mts…they all pour forth speech in praise to God…our world is not a silent world. All bears God's handiwork. Just as you and I are made to worship, so is all creation. All things were made to share in the joy of our Creator. Contrary to popular opinion, just as our world is not a silent world, nor is the larger universe empty and void, but is full of the worship of God. The praise of God is truly the song of all creation. Welcome to Wesley Memorial Church!

As we come to the close of another year, it’s important that we do not live in the past but rather learn from it—build upon it—and press on to what lies ahead. As we read the passage of scripture that corresponds to today's message, we receive some helpful instruction from the apostle Paul about forgetting what is behind and pressing on to what is ahead. Follow along with me…
www.northmaincog.org/online Jesus (Luke 2:25-32) Yearly Theme: “Goodness is… the Great I AM” Series Title: “What Child is This” December 24th, 2024
It appears to me that the main purpose of Luke sharing this experience of the disciples in the boat with Jesus going to the other side is to show us how that Jesus was teaching His disciples to live by faith. If they were going to going to obey His command to go into all the world and “disciple all the nations” (Matthew 28:19), they would need a great faith! And my friend, the same is true for us today! The source and object of their faith, Jesus, was in the boat with them all along! Did you notice that the storm with the terrible wind and waves had brought great fear upon the disciples! They thought sure they were going to perish! But when Jesus calmed the wind and waves, and He asked them the question, “Where is your faith?”, we read, “And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be”. I believe they were overwhelmed with the fact that they were in the presence of the Omnipotent God and they were afraid! Think about it! The very God Who spoke the universe into existence, Who created the heavens and the earth, Who spoke and there was light, Who spoke and there was animals, Who spoke and there was plant life, Who spoke and breathe into a hunk of clay and there was a man, the Great I Am, was the same voice that the disciples heard in the boat that day! “And they were afraid” and they said, “Who can this be”. I'm not sure they fully understood who Jesus really was until after His death, burial and resurrection and the Holy Spirit came upon them fully opening their eyes to the deity of Jesus Christ! But after that they were willing to go into all the world sharing His message and die for Him. They were leaning that they needed the “look of faith”. “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith”. (Hebrews 12:2). “By faith, Moses saw Him who was invisible” (Hebrews 11:27). That they needed the “walk of faith”. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). That they needed the “work of faith”. “By faith Noah built an ark…” (Hebrews 11:7). “Without works, faith is dead” (James 2:26). This would produce a “life of faith” that would change the world! (2 Corinthians 4:16- 18). Jesus might be asking you today, “Where is your faith?” We need to remember that, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing from the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). I'm convinced that the Lord primarily uses two things to build and increase our faith. Learning Who Jesus, the Word, really is by hearing, reading, studying, and mediating on the Written Word, the Bible. Then God uses the storms and the trials of life to expose and reveal to us what kind of faith we really have. These will drive us to “wake up” Jesus in our lives and find Him in His Word. These storms will motivate us to spend time every day with Jesus in His Word. As we are coming to the close of an old year and preparing for the new year, I want to challenge you to “increase your faith” by determining, by God's grace, to read through your whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 in a systematic and consistent way! Jesus said that man does not live by bread alone, but by “every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God” “Every Word, All Scripture, which means every Word in our Bible is needed for us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and to increase our faith! To help and assist you in fulfilling this challenge to read though your entire Bible in 2025, we have prepared a Bible reading calendar plan that is posted to our website each month. We have posted two plans. Plan B will take you through the entire Bible once and only take 10 plus minutes a day: https://www.pmiministries.org/bible-reading-calendar-plan-b Plan A will take you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice and take about 15 plus minutes a day: https://www.pmiministries.org/daily-bible-reading-calendar These can be downloaded and printed for your convenience! Where will your faith be next year? It is up to you! God bless!

www.northmaincog.org/online Joseph (Matthew 18:1-25) Yearly Theme: “Goodness is… the Great I AM” Series Title: “What Child is This” December 1st, 2024 Follow along in the Bible App: http://bible.com/events/49353878 Joseph’s story is anything but normal. It’s one of a kind; it’s unique; it’s quirky; it’s important. Of all the men mentioned in the Bible, the story of Joseph, though only briefly mentioned, is significant in light of the kind of man Joseph was. In the very few verses that mention him in the Gospels, we seem to get a glimpse of a kind and quiet man; unassuming and humble, while also strong and courageous. It’s hard not to imagine what Joseph was really like. Our minds are prone to fill in the blanks where Scripture remains silent about the stepfather of Jesus. However, there are some important points to his character that are illuminated in the verses we have surrounding the birth of Christ. Let’s take a closer look…
Barry and Linda Rowan, a corporate executive and a CPA, were both raised in environments that emphasized faith, family, and the pursuit of financial success. By their late 20s, they had each established successful careers; however, they found themselves in a crisis as they sought meaning in their work. In their quest for purpose, they were brought to a position of total spiritual surrender. Through a series of paradigm shifts, they learned from God how to integrate their faith, generosity, and professions, ultimately creating a harmonious blend of work and spirituality. Barry has served as CEO and CFO of eight major companies over his career and sees business as an expression of faith when walking in step with God. Together Barry and Linda set a finish line early in their marriage which has guided their generosity since, and they are passionate about raising up the next generation of givers and Christ-following leaders to view all that they are, all that they do, and all they have to give as belonging fully to God. Major topics include: Discovering what purpose and calling looked like in their faith journeys Developing a biblical view of money and stewardship in their early 20s Viewing money as a gift to be shared, not a goal to be achieved Amazing stories about seeing God triumph greatly through failure Investing in spiritual disciplines Powerful insights on prayer What businesses and ministries can learn from each other How to pass leadership and generosity on to the next generation QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I was trying to derive meaning from the work instead of bringing meaning to the work. It's really God's perspective of the work that infuses our work with meaning.” – Barry “If we haven't figured out how much is enough, we are by default lovers of money.” – Barry “We stay in prayer until God unites our hearts in decisions.” – Linda “We've never made a major financial decision or contribution without coming to a consensus. And the process of talking through it is often as valuable as the end decision.” – Barry “Prayer is an anchor.” – Linda “If we give God the time to speak to us, then He will meet us right where we are. God is the Great I Am, and I must meet Him just as I am.” – Barry “We are made for the benefit of others.” – Barry “Nothing is wasted in God's hands when we offer it with open palms.” – Linda “God is inviting us to live an integrated life under Him, and as we do, our work is not something that stands in the way of faith, but rather an expression of faith.” – Barry “It starts with surrender.” – Barry “At this stage in our lives, we have nothing to prove, we have nothing to fear, and we view our lives as an act of total generosity.” – Barry LINKS FROM THE SHOW God and Money (see our interviews with coauthors Greg Baumer and John Cortines) The Spiritual Art of Business by Barry Rowan World Vision The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Colossians 1:27 | The Hope of Glory To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

156: How Do You See Yourself? Do you have a self-esteem issue? Do you spend time struggling with your self image? If you do, you may be listening to the enemy instead of listening to your Creator. If you are spending too much time thinking about you - you may have a pride issue. No worries - just confess it and surrender it to God. It is so important to know the truth that tell us who we are in Him. Here is an entry for your Truth Journal - "I am who the Great I Am says I am. Our value is instilled in us by our Creator. Nothing we have ever done and nothing that has happened to us has diminished our value at all. We should be a reflection of God's beauty. We should step into the purpose God has for us. We don't need to dwell on our self, struggling with self-esteem issues. We can rest in God's love. Instead of focusing on exfoliating, just start allowing Jesus to illuminate through you. So what are we to do? 1. Be with Jesus. Spend time with Him and focus on His promises. 2. Give God the glory for everything that is good in your life. 3. Stop speaking negatively about yourself. Exude energy and positivity. Shine your light. 4. Be ready to testify and tell others about the One who shines through you. Stop wasting time seeing yourself through the wrong lens. Remember you are created in the image of God. Remember who you are in Him. He is everything you have ever wanted and everything you need.

The Great I AM is Here The Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 14.22–36 NOV 10 2024
In a day and age where it seems like you can't be sure about much of anything, you can always be sure that things will change. With this Tuesday being election day, that fact is more at the front of our minds than ever. So in such a turbulent world full of change, what can you really rely on? Scripture makes it clear that while everything else changes, our God never does. God is always who He is. He is the Great I AM, from everlasting to everlasting. He is always good, always faithful, always holy, and always constant. So what does that mean for us? What are the implications for our lives of an unchanging God? Join Pastors Jim, Chad, and Matt for a conversation on the nature of God and how His constancy provides peace in the midst of any storm.
Rev. Douglas Clawson considered Matthew 28:20b, “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age,” at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference held on September 28, 2024 at Hope OPC in Grayslake, Illinois. Rev. Douglas Clawson unpacks the profound promise found in Matthew 28:20, where Jesus assures his disciples of His continual presence as they carry out the Great Commission. Rev. Clawson carefully traces this theme of God's presence from the Old Testament through to its fulfillment in Christ, emphasizing the deep continuity of God's dwelling with his people. Beginning with the genealogy in Matthew, Rev. Clawson explores how Jesus, as the fulfillment of both the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants, is the ultimate expression of “God with us”—Emmanuel. This theme, introduced at the beginning of Matthew's gospel, is powerfully echoed in Christ's final words to his disciples, promising to be with them “to the end of the age.” Rev. Clawson highlights how this promise of presence goes beyond omnipresence or general providence, focusing instead on Christ's intimate, covenantal presence with his people. Through a rich biblical theology, Rev. Clawson ties Jesus' promise to God's presence with Israel in the wilderness, in the tabernacle, and through the prophets. He draws parallels between God's extensive and intensive presence among his people in the Old Testament and Jesus' presence with his disciples through the Holy Spirit. This promise is foundational for the church's mission, giving believers assurance that they never labor alone, but are always accompanied by Christ. This address encourages listeners to reflect on the deep theological implications of Christ's presence with his church, both now and until the consummation of the age. It is a stirring reminder that, as the church fulfills the Great Commission, Jesus—the Great “I Am”—is ever-present with his people, empowering and sustaining them.
