I Am the Door (John 10:1–10)

TGC Podcast

At TGCW24, Vanessa Hawkins invites us to consider Jesus’s third I AM statement, "I AM the door" from John 10:1-10.

There are times when we rely more on what Jesus gives us access to rather than resting in the truth that he himself is our access. Jesus is not merely our passage to eternal life with God—he is always more and better than we can imagine. As we turn to Jesus and learn from him, we will more clearly recognize his voice. As we read, study, and obey the Word of God, his voice will become easier and easier to follow.

Hawkins teaches the following:

• The positive impact of a father’s relationship
• Adam and Eve’s relationship with God and separation as a result of sin
• The promise of a Savior and the closing of a door
• Those who do not enter the sheepfold by the door are thieves and robbers
• A real threat: the enemy's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy
• What are the spiritual thieves and robbers in our lives?
• Jesus's promise of abundant life and what it truly means for us
• Walking in obedience and embracing the invitation from Jesus
• The power of death defeated and the hope of resurrection
• Enter through the Door and walk into the Father's presence with bold access
