How To Know If You're Following The Right Voice
June 10, 2025
In this message from John 10:1–10, Jesus begins His powerful teaching as the true Shepherd — exposing false spiritual voices and declaring Himself as the only Door into the fold of God. While some climb in another way, Jesus makes it clear: there is one way to salvation, one true Shepherd, and one gate to abundant life.
This passage invites us to examine the voices we follow and challenges us to recognize the danger of spiritual deception. Not everyone in a position of influence was sent by God — but the sheep know His voice, and they follow Him.
Key Points:
• Not every spiritual voice today is sent by God.
• If you didn’t come through the Door, you don’t belong in the fold.
• The porter only opens the door for the true Shepherd.
• True sheep don’t follow strangers — they run from them.
• You can’t climb in, sneak in, or work your way in — you can only come in through the Door.
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or are just starting to listen for His voice, this passage draws a line between the false and the true—and asks a critical question: Whose voice are you following?
