This past Sunday's sermon focused upon the verses found in the Gospel of John 10:22-30. This is a short passage but one that is filled with importance. I gave a few cautions on how not to interpret this section of scripture and then focused upon "seeing, hearing, believing, and belonging".
Please take a listen and see what you hear... if you believe then you will belong...
I pray that this short post finds you all blessed and remember...
To be a blessing to someone today!
Belonging,

John 10:22-30 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
Jesus Is Rejected by the Jews
22 At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah,[a] tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me; 26 but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand.[b] 30 The Father and I are one.”
