| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:05.6 | John chapter 10 verse 27, my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. |
| 0:12.4 | Wow, I love John 10. It is filled with such incredible imagery of Jesus as the good shepherd |
| 0:20.3 | who lays down his life for the sheep and protects them, cares for them, won't let anyone snatch |
| 0:27.2 | out of his hand. And in verse 27, I love this picture, my sheep hear my voice and I know them |
| 0:33.9 | and they follow me. I think about a shepherd. I heard, share recently his name is Darryl and he |
| 0:39.9 | was sharing about how he leads his sheep and they know his voice. He said, if anybody else were |
| 0:46.5 | to come and call my sheep to do this or that, the sheep would not respond. But when he speaks, |
| 0:53.2 | they respond. This is what sheep do. They know the voice of the shepherd and they follow him. |
| 1:00.8 | Oh, don't you want that to be true of your life today? Like, just think about today. We want |
| 1:05.5 | this every day, but today that you would live hearing his voice, him knowing you and you following |

| 1:31.5 | about every detail of our day today. But that doesn't mean that his voice can't lead us. He's |
| 1:36.6 | put his spirit inside of us in such a way that when we meditate on his word that we do have, |
| 1:43.0 | we study his word. We hide it in our heart. We're getting familiar with his voice so that as we make |
| 1:48.4 | decisions during the day that we are familiar with the voice of Jesus, we're familiar with his |
| 1:54.8 | spirit and how he leads us and so to live today, listening to his voice in his word and then |
| 2:00.9 | following his voice as he leads us by his spirit according to his word. God, we praise you for the |
| 2:07.2 | privilege of being your sheep and of hearing your voice, knowing your voice and you knowing us, |
| 2:15.2 | you seeing us right now, every one of us loving us and caring for us and speaking to us, |
