Leaning In

Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream

Belief comes difficult to most of us, at least some of the time. Yet, Jesus often seems to demand we follow him out of our comfort zones even in the midst of our doubts. How do we follow, even when we doubt? In this sermon, Fr. Stephen suggests that we grow out of our doubts only when we lean in and follow. It's through following through on what Jesus asks us to do, that we find him to be a trustworthy shepherd. It's a leap of faith which leads us out of our faithlessness.


Scripture Reference: John 10:22-30

Preached on the 4th Sunday of Easter, May 12th, by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
