Simply Jesus is a 4-week study on the seven "I Am" statements of Jesus found in the book of John. Through this study, we will explore specific Old Testament passages that connect to Jesus's statements before diving deep into what each means and how these statements impact our faith.
As we study these powerful words of Jesus, we will grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and learn how who Jesus is truly changes everything.
