This past weekend at Eastbrook, we continued our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus through our preaching series, “I AM: Seven Identity Markers of Jesus,” drawn from the Gospel of John. This week I continued the series by exploring Jesus’ statement, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

You can find the message outline and video below. You can access the entire series here. Join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.

Dig Deeper

This week dig deeper in one or more of the following ways:

• Memorize John 14:6
• Both this week and next week’s messages are drawn from the Upper Room discourse (John 13-16). Take time to read and ponder this entire teaching of Jesus in one sitting. What stands out to you from this passage? What do you learn about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? How would you describe the Jesus way from what you read here?
• Listen to “Marvelous Light” from City on a Hill: Songs of Worship and Praise
• Read Eugene Peterson, The Jesus Way: A Conversation on the Ways that Jesus is the Way
