You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all. We're not meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the first step toward truly knowing them. It's the same with God: we come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him. Join Megan Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven "I Am" statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know most about His character and love for us.
