Join author Matt Rawle and artist Sarah Duet in conversation with Rachel Billups as they explore the rich symbolism behind the “I am” statements.

In Jesus Revealed: The I Am Statements in the Gospel of John, Matt considers each of the images - the light of the world, the bread of life, the door of the sheep, the good shepherd, the vine, the way, the truth, and the life, and the resurrection and the life – from an ever-widening perspective. Each image is one layer of Jesus’s identity. By considering them all together, we arrive at a fuller picture of who Jesus is, who he calls us to be, and what that means for us today.

In this webinar you will:

Learn how the “I am” statements are interconnected.
Discover the use of symbols and how images help us with deeper reflection.
Explore how to create your own works of art.
Learn how to host a church-wide series based on the “I am” statements.

Be inspired in your own life and ministry as you gain a better understanding of drama and art at the heart of John’s Gospel.
