The Alpha and Omega
by Brian Bill

Before Jesus there was nothing, because He is the beginning. Jesus is also the omega, or the end of everything, and all of human history is moving toward the coming of the King. On this Good Friday, the cross stands as the central point in God’s redemptive purposes.

The Vine
by Brian Bill

As hard as we might try, we cannot live the Christian life in our own strength. We must consciously surrender to the Savior on a daily basis and remain in His Word if we expect to bear any fruit.

The Way
by Brian Bill

Contrary to popular opinion, there are not many ways to God. Jesus is the only way, the only truth and the only life. He offers us His peace because He is getting our place ready. We can count on His promise to be united with Him if we follow His plan.

The Door
by Brian Bill

In this metaphor, Jesus clearly states that He is the only way to have salvation and security. We must pass through Him in order to be saved and it is only through Him that we can have our daily needs met.

The Light of the World
by Brian Bill

While people look for someone to lead them, only Jesus can guide us because He is light Himself. Darkness is the first thing that God overcame in the original creation and darkness is flooded with light through the new creation. Unfortunately, those who don’t know the light often lash out at the Lord who alone illuminates the world.

The Bread of Life
by Brian Bill

Jesus begins by referring to Himself as the ultimate source of sustenance. He has just fed the 5,000 and his reference to bread echoes back to the manna given to God’s people in the wilderness. Jesus wants to lift his listeners from a barren, food-dominated existence to the understanding that He alone can satisfy the supreme hunger of life.
