Originally preached on Sunday, April 22, 2018

In this sermon based on John 10:11-18, I ask the question; "how do we live as one of Jesus' lambs?" The Pharisees - who were largely opposed to Jesus' earthly ministry - thought that to be 'faithful' meant rigid adherence to tradition and rules. Jesus offered a radical alternative. To be 'faithful' was to follow the path of love, compassion, and grace. Christians are called to leave behind their Pharisaic tendencies and allow Jesus to lead us in the direction of God's hospitality.
