The Unique Claims of Jesus Christ
Jesus Is the Shepherd
John 10:1-6
Matthew Raley (03/01/09)
| In this series, we’re going to see that Jesus claimed he was the only way to the Father. We are going to explore the specific context of this claim, the abusive authority of human religious systems. In this sermon we see that there is a right way into the fold, and a wrong way. |

Jesus Lays Aside His Essence
John 10:11-13

Jesus Knows His Sheep
John 10:14-21
Matthew Raley (03/22/09)
| Many people think that comparing religions is like comparing recordings of Beethoven, and that Jesus should be considered one more interpretation of the same basic material. In this sermon we consider how Jesus develops his claim to be the good shepherd. |

Jesus on His Own Terms
John 10:22-30
Matthew Raley (03/29/09)
| Jesus’ walking in the temple, as recorded in John 10:23, is highly significant. It occcurs during the Feast of Dedication, better known as Hannukah. In this sermon we ask, “Can Jesus be understood in light of this nationalistic commemoration?” |

Jesus and the Gods
John 10:31-42
Matthew Raley (04/05/09)
| Jesus has said, “I and the Father are one.” The remainder of John 10 is about the reaction to that claim. In this sermon, we conclude our study of Jesus’ verdict on the pretense of human beings who set themselves up between man and God. |
