Sermon on 9/14/25 by Pastor Todd Sapp.

In a world where right and wrong feel twisted, who can you trust? This message from John 10:1-18 reveals Jesus's identity as the Good Shepherd, a loving leader who offers a solution to the confusion and loneliness of our age. Discover why, because of Jesus, you are known, you have life, and you are deeply loved.

We'll unpack:

• Jesus's metaphor of the sheepfold, revealing the difference between a true shepherd and a thief.
• The comfort of being known by Jesus, who calls His sheep by name and understands every detail of your life.
• How Jesus, the Door of the sheep, provides access to abundant life—a life of purpose and fulfillment, not just quantity of days.
• Jesus's bold claim as the Good Shepherd who willingly lays down His life for His sheep, proving His genuine love.
• The simple act of trusting in Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection as the way to receive this life and love.
• The inspiring story of Erica Kirk and the power of faith in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

This sermon is a powerful reminder that in a chaotic world, Jesus offers a relationship that brings peace, purpose, and eternal security.
