S7E56: Abundant Life (Easter 2014)

Sermon #55

In this Mother's Day message from 2014, we take a look at the mothers and the mother-figures in our lives. From our earliest development, the first voice we hear is our mother's voice (in the womb). When we are born and brand-new, we know our mother's voice because that is what we heard. And we are comforted because we know that this voice we can trust to care for us. In the same way, Jesus tells us from the passage in John that the sheep know his voice and vollow him. All the other religions of the world tell us what we must do for God (or gods) but only Christianity demonstrates God's love toward us in what He has done for us in Jesus Christ. We hear His voice and we follow Him because we trust in Him. We do not follow the voice of strangers. And ultimately it is He that gives us life abundantly, because of His great love for us.
