Great Shepherd and the True Sheep | The Follow Up - Gospel of John | Week 16

Spring Lake Church

In this episode of The Follow Up, the pastors dive deeper into John 10:22–42 and Jesus’ declaration as the Good Shepherd during the Feast of Dedication.

The discussion explores why Jesus’ words challenged expectations of a political Messiah and instead revealed a spiritual Shepherd who knows His sheep and holds them securely. You’ll hear thoughtful reflections on assurance of salvation, the difference between doubt and disbelief, and why following Jesus is rooted in what He has done, not what we maintain through effort.

The conversation also addresses difficult passages like Psalm 82, the danger of transactional faith, and practical ways believers can learn to recognize the Shepherd’s voice through Scripture, prayer, and community.
