The Great I AM: He Lifts Up

"The Great I Am: He Lifts Up" reveals that Jesus' invitation is less about activity and more about proximity to Him. In John 15, Jesus declares, "I am the true vine," reminding us that life and fruitfulness flow from Him, not from our own strength. The message highlights how God does not discard struggling branches but lifts them up so they can bear fruit. Through the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see the heart of Jesus—meeting people in their shame, removing condemnation, and restoring them. The call is to stop striving in our own power, reconnect to Christ as our source, and allow the Great I Am to lift us up.
