Leaning In
Manage episode 234407485 series 2421920
Belief comes difficult to most of us, at least some of the time. Yet, Jesus often seems to demand we follow him out of our comfort zones even in the midst of our doubts. How do we follow, even when we doubt? In this sermon, Fr. Stephen suggests that we grow out of our doubts only when we lean in and follow. It's through following through on what Jesus asks us to do, that we find him to be a trustworthy shepherd. It's a leap of faith which leads us out of our faithlessness.
Scripture Reference: John 10:22-30
Preached on the 4th Sunday of Easter, May 12th, by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- Jesus says we can't believe unless we're one of his sheep
- This seems like a paradox
- Yet, shows a truth: you can't know if someone is trustworthy until you take the risk of trusting them
- Jesus points to his actions as an example of his trustworthiness
- We know this when we obey his call
- Jesus' call is personal, and tailored to our needs
- Jesus' call is communal, making us part of a flock
