Jesus is the I Am
Mark Palmer · May 31, 2026 · 11:00 AM service
Mark Palmer preaches through the I Am statements of Christ in John's gospel, beginning with the true vine in John 15 and moving through the bread of life, the light of the world, the door of the sheep, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, and the way, the truth, and the life. He contrasts Christ as the true vine with man-made religion and denominational systems that cannot save, and shares his own testimony of being saved at thirteen. He closes in training mode, walking through Romans 3, Ephesians 2, Romans 5, Hebrews 9, and Acts 4 so hearers are ready to show a lost person from Scripture how to be saved.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
