7 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

Jesus described himself with powerful “I am” statements throughout the book of John. Each statement reveals him as the source of true fulfillment for every human heart. When Christ says he is the true guide (Light of the World), the source of truth (“the way, and the truth, and the life”), the sustainer of life (Bread of Life), where do we find common imitations and counterfeits that we try to put in his place? This seven-part series challenges us to examine our lives to see where we may be looking for other things or people to be the source of what only Christ can ultimately provide.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 7 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
