Jesus is the Good Shepherd, the true provider of eternal life.
John 10:11-18 English Standard Version
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

John 10:1 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. John 10:2 (ESV) But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. John 10:3 (ESV) To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:4 (ESV) When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. John 10:5 (ESV) A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” John 10:6 (ESV) This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. John 10:7 (ESV) So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:8 (ESV) All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. John 10:9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

We want you to be a part of the family at Cornerstone Baptist Church. You are here so that is your first step. We hope your next step will be to repent, believe and be baptized (if you have not already done so). Then we hope you will get involved in a group or on a serve team and begin to invest financially in our relentless pursuit of every person, in every family and every neighborhood in Port Saint Lucie. We are in this together—pulling people in, lifting them up, and bringing them home to be a part of God’s family. We want you to experience the kind of community that Jesus modeled with His disciples. He did not just ask people to show up to a meeting; He called them to engage and follow Him on the mission of reaching others. As we follow Him and the example He gave His disciples, we do not just “go to church” – we are the church. We are the church in here as we gather so that we can go and be the church out there!

Pastor Carl (John 9:33-41) August 14, 2022
30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33 If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”
34 They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out.
True Vision and True Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”
38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
