I AM: The Gate || Rev. Michael Hands

Jesus doesn’t just show us the way — He declares that He is the way. Continuing our I AM series through the Gospel of John, Rev. Michael unpacks Jesus’ powerful words in John 10:1–10: “I am the Gate.” Through the imagery of the shepherd, the sheepfold and the gate, we see a God who offers security, salvation and life to the full. In a world full of competing voices, Jesus invites us to recognise the voice of the true Shepherd — the One who leads, protects and calls us by name. What does it mean that Jesus is the Gate? What are the “thieves and robbers” He warns about? And what does abundant life actually look like? This message explores the invitation of Jesus to not just believe in Him from a distance, but to enter into the fullness of life found in Him.
