At TGCW24, Courtney Doctor teaches on Jesus’s statement, “I AM the Good Shepherd” from John 10:11-18. A good shepherd cares for, protects, and provides for his sheep.

Throughout scripture, we're compared to the sheep who go astray or get lost. We need continual care and vigilant protection, and Christ offers us that and so much more. He's a shepherd who seeks out the one lost sheep and rejoices at its discovery! He leads us, guides us, and restores our souls.

Doctor teaches the following:

• The role of shepherds in the biblical narrative
• Jesus as the Good Shepherd
• Surprise 1: seeking unexpected sheep
• Surprise 2: leading on unexpected paths
• Surprise 3: dying an unexpected death
• The Lamb is worshiped as the shepherd in Revelation 7
• Know the Good Shepherd and follow him forever

At TGCW24, Vanessa Hawkins invites us to consider Jesus’s third I AM statement, "I AM the door" from John 10:1-10.

There are times when we rely more on what Jesus gives us access to rather than resting in the truth that he himself is our access. Jesus is not merely our passage to eternal life with God—he is always more and better than we can imagine. As we turn to Jesus and learn from him, we will more clearly recognize his voice. As we read, study, and obey the Word of God, his voice will become easier and easier to follow.

Hawkins teaches the following:

• The positive impact of a father’s relationship
• Adam and Eve’s relationship with God and separation as a result of sin
• The promise of a Savior and the closing of a door
• Those who do not enter the sheepfold by the door are thieves and robbers
• A real threat: the enemy's attempts to steal, kill, and destroy
• What are the spiritual thieves and robbers in our lives?
• Jesus's promise of abundant life and what it truly means for us
• Walking in obedience and embracing the invitation from Jesus
• The power of death defeated and the hope of resurrection
• Enter through the Door and walk into the Father's presence with bold access

At TGCW24, Jen Wilkin shares Jesus’s second I AM statement, “I AM the Light of the World" from John 8:12-30.

We all have first-hand experience of the darkness and brokenness that exists in our world. Jesus, the light that shines in the darkness, offers the “light of life” to anyone who follows him. Jesus’ message confronts the darkness in our hearts and in our world and offers us great hope in all of it.

Wilkin teaches the following:

• The symbolism of light in Scripture
• Jesus' use of light as a metaphor
• The Feast of Tabernacles and its significance
• The manifest presence of God in the Old Testament
• The role of light in the New Testament
• The challenge of lesser lights
• The role of the church in carrying the light
• The collective impact of believers' light
