The world lives in the darkness of sin and death because it does not know God. No science or religion can truly reveal to us who God is and the wonderful plans he has for us. Therefore, because he so loves the world, God sent his own Son, Jesus the Light of the World, to come down and show us who he is and his love for us. http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/s3.sermoncloud.net/iesjakarta/The_Seven_I_Am_1.mp4 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:00:00 GMT 14:29 Light of the World, John, I AM, Gospel of John, IES, International English Service, David Kenney The Door is open for everyone who believes in the Son to enter into God's kingdom.

The dead and temporal things of this world cannot give us the eternal things of the Spirit. Only Jesus, the Bread from Heaven, can sustain us with the things we need in order to live out our Eternal Life. http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/s3.sermoncloud.net/iesjakarta/The_Seven_I_Am_6.mp4 Thu, 6 Sep 2012 16:00:00 GMT 16:29 Bread from Heaven, John, I AM, Gospel of John, IES, International English Service, David Kenney The Noble Shepherd is speaking and guiding his people even today.
