As we begin our journey into the Book of John, I encourage you to finish reading through this Gospel so that you can come with an expectancy that John notes in John 20:31 \u2015<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">\u201cbut these are written that you may <strong>believe<\/strong> that Jesus is the Messiah,<br \/>the Son of God, and that by <strong>believing<\/strong> you may have life in his name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Our hope for this series is that the 7 \u201cI AM\u201d statements help us better understand who Jesus is and how He is over all things. This will allow us to live in a way where we trust Him more deeply in our work, parenting, schooling and family life. May this series deepen our trust in who Christ is and open our eyes to see how He is at work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: right;\">Pastor Tim Sreedharan<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"p5\"><b>PRAY<\/b><\/h6>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Father, just as you provided Manna for the Israelites in the wilderness, thank you for providing your Son for humanity. Thank you that Christ is the bread that has come down from heaven. May we continue to recognize that you are one who nourishes us, sustains us, and sends us out to proclaim your goodness to the ends of the earth. Help us to continue to believe and cling to you in every moment of life.
