When Jesus said, “Before Abraham was born, I am,” He wasn’t misspeaking—He was identifying Himself as the eternal God. From Genesis to the Gospels, we see a God who exists beyond time itself—outside our limits of past, present, and future. When Jesus entered our world, He stepped into time without ceasing to be the eternal “I AM.” This changes everything. God isn’t bound by our circumstances—He sees the whole story at once. That means we can trust Him fully, even when life feels uncertain, because He’s already at work beyond what we can see.\nChapter 1: Introduction & The ‘I AM’ Statements 0:00 – 11:59\nChapter 2: The Moment Jesus Claimed to Be God 12:00 – 17:01\nChapter 3: The God Who Exists Outside Time 17:02 – 35:16\nChapter 4: Why This Changes Everything for You 35:17","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/O9OyJZsMJAqwYmJCJTNOP3x8h58bRcEjDTxDfPi-GDA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZjk1/YmNlZjkyZDk0ZDZm/OTM5M2UyMDZhZTVl/YWExMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
