Episode notes

Sermon by Jarrett McLaughlin from John 8:1-16

Lent is the season when we ask ourselves, “Who is this Jesus, anyway? What is he about? Why should I want to follow him?”

Nowhere is Jesus more clear about these questions than in the Gospel of John. He comes right out and says who he is through the seven “I am” statements. These statements are more than ancient words; they are promises that meet us in our questions, fears, and longings. As we walk through the season of Lent together, we will consider how Jesus’ identity shapes our own and calls us to also be bread, light, open doors, good shepherds, etc.
