Series: The Gospel of John: Living your Best Life
Text: John 10:1-30
Title: Listening to the Good Shepherd

1. Opening: Talk about famous voices, spoken or sung. What makes a voice famous? Which voices are most distinctive? Do you have a favourite?

2. “I am the Gate for the sheep.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” These are two of Jesus’ seven I Am statements in the gospel of John. Consult the full list on p.78 of your Scripture journal (or Google them, or see if you can remember them from previous study). Which I Am statement resonates most with you, and why?

3. Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” (v.27). How do you recognize Jesus’ voice in your life? What distractions or competing voices make it harder for you to hear Him?

4. Can you speak to the benefit of listening to Jesus, in contrast to the voices of “hired hands,” “strangers,” or “robbers”? Share a story if you can.

5. What will you do in the coming week to listen more closely to Jesus?
