The Good Shepherd: Recognizing Our Need for God's Guidance

This sermon explores the church as a flock under the care of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Drawing from John 10 and the context of Jesus healing a blind man in John 9, the message reveals a profound truth about humanity: like sheep, we have blind spots and were not designed to lead ourselves. The sermon challenges the cultural narrative of self-sufficiency, contrasting the pride of the Pharisees with King David's humble acknowledgment that "the Lord is my shepherd." The radical love of the gospel is emphasized—that the Shepherd would sacrifice His life for the sheep, an act that defies logic but demonstrates God's immense love for humanity. The invitation is simple yet profound: acknowledge our need for the Shepherd and enter into the belonging of His flock.
