Message by Bro. David Arvic Gonzales Sunday – September 20, 2026 Known by Name, Led by Grace John 10:1–21 Reflection: 1. Which competing voice do I need to quiet so I can hear and obey Jesus more clearly? 2. Where am I looking for satisfaction apart from Jesus, and what would it mean to receive true life from Him instead? 3. What fear, pain, or uncertainty do I need to entrust to Jesus in light of His proven love on the cross?    • Message by Bro  Arvic Gonzales September 2...      • Worship Celebration September 20, 2026   https://christschurchinmakati.org/wor... #WorshipExperience #ChristsChurchInMakati #ChurchOnlineExperience #motivation Takeaway: Know His voice. Trust His heart. Follow His lead • Whose voice is shaping my decisions? • Where am I looking for life? • What gives me confidence when danger or suffering comes? 1. The Good Shepherd Knows and Calls His Sheep (John 10:1–6) “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them. 2. The Good Shepherd Gives Abundant Life (John 10:7–10, 16) 7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 3. The Good Shepherd Lays Down His Life for the Sheep (John 10:11-21) 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” 19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?” 21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” Conclusion So remember these four movements: He knows your name. He gives you life. He laid down His life. He calls you to follow. Hear Him above the noise, enter through Him alone, rest in His proven love, and join His mission of gathering others. The Good Shepherd is faithful. Let us trust Him and follow wherever He leads.
