WHO IS JESUS?
Summer 2026
Who is Jesus? It may be the most important question a person will ever ask.
For thousands of years, people have debated, questioned, rejected, followed, misunderstood, and searched for Jesus. Some see Him as a good teacher. Others view Him as a historical figure, moral example, prophet, revolutionary, or religious leader. But throughout the Gospel of John, Jesus makes a series of extraordinary statements that leave no room for neutrality.
He tells the world exactly who He is.
In this powerful six-week series, we will explore the life-changing “I AM” statements of Jesus—declarations that reveal His identity, His mission, His power, and His invitation to humanity. These were not casual words. They were bold claims that shocked crowds, challenged religious leaders, comforted the broken, and continue to transform lives today.
This series speaks directly into the realities people face every day: fear, anxiety, discouragement, spiritual emptiness, shame, confusion, loneliness, hopelessness, and the constant search for meaning and truth. In a culture filled with noise, division, endless opinions, and temporary solutions, Jesus offers something radically different—lasting hope, real truth, deep peace, forgiveness, direction, purpose, and eternal life.
Together, we will discover what it means to trust Jesus through loss and disappointment, follow His voice through uncertainty, walk in His light instead of darkness, remain connected to Him in a spiritually exhausted world, find lasting satisfaction for the soul, and understand why His claim to be the only way to God still changes everything.
This is more than a Bible study.
More than theology.
More than religion.
This series is an invitation to encounter Jesus personally and honestly wrestle with the question: Who is Jesus… to you?

Previous Series: GOSPEL LIFE - TRAVELING THROUGH ROMANS
Most people don’t struggle because they lack information—they struggle because they don’t know how the Gospel actually works in real life.
The word Gospel simply means “good news.” It’s the good news of what God has done for us through Jesus—something to be received, not achieved.
Romans is not just a book of theology; it’s a roadmap for transformation. It tells the story of how broken people are made right with God, how grace changes us from the inside out, and how faith reshapes the way we live every day. From sin and salvation to freedom, trust, and service, Romans shows us what it really means to live a Gospel-shaped life.
GOSPEL LIFE is an invitation to move beyond knowing about God to living in step with Him—to experience faith that is honest, freeing, and practical. This series will help you understand what God has done for you, who you are becoming in Christ, and how the good news of Jesus changes everything.
