This message first examines Jesus' bold claim that "I and the Father are one", then the Jews' violent reaction to the claim, and finally Jesus' surprising defense of His words. The message concludes with some practical applications.

Why People Don't Believe in Jesus
In John 10:19-26, Jesus addresses two excuses that people give for their unbelief: (1) That Jesus' message is not sufficiently clear, and (2) That Jesus had not done enough miraculous works. He then gives the real reason for unbelief: "You do not believe because you are not of My sheep."

Thieves, Robbers, Strangers, and Hirelings
In John 10, Jesus pictures those who would do harm to the sheep as thieves, robbers, strangers, and hirelings. This message explores these illustrations of bad preachers (or other religious leaders) and what can be learned from each.

The Shepherd and the Door - Part 2
In this second part of our study of Jesus' teaching about how He, the Good Shepherd, interacts with His sheep, we consider three great truths central to the Gospel: (1) He provides abundant life for the sheep, (2) He lays down His life for the sheep, and (3) He and the sheep have an intimate knowledge of each other.

The Shepherd and the Door - Part 1
In John 10 Jesus uses illustrations drawn from sheep farming to teach a
series of truths about how He interacts with His people. This
message covers the first four: (1) He is uniquely qualified to shepherd
the sheep, (2) He calls His sheep, and they respond, (3) He leads His
sheep, and they follow, and (4) He gives the sheep access to the
blessings of salvation.

Being a Sheep
In John 10 and in various other Scriptures, Christians are compared to
sheep -- more than to any other animal. Unlike in Jesus' day, most
American Christians don't have much experience with the unique qualities of sheep.
This message considers seven characteristics of sheep that are also
true of Christians. They are: (1) Unimpressive, (2) Vulnerable, (3)
Timid, (4) Social, (5) Followers, (6) Labor-intensive, and (7) Fruitful.
