Knowing Jesus Personally

Knowing Jesus isn't a one-time meeting, it's a relationship we keep growing in, and God gives us His Word as the way to do that. Scripture isn't a rulebook or an owner's manual, it's alive and powerful, and when we rest in it and submit to it, it exposes our hearts, cuts out what needs to go, and produces real energy and joy, even in hard seasons.

Jesus offers real freedom — the "ball" we're all crawling toward — but many who claim to believe in Him want what He has while rejecting who He is. Pastor Bill shows from John 8 that true freedom only comes when we admit we're powerless, admit our own way of living isn't working, and surrender fully to Jesus as the great "I AM," because the only alternative to surrendering to Him is eventually attacking Him.
