Our journey through Jesus' "I Am" statements brings us to John 10:11-18. In our study this week, Marc discusses how those who knew Jesus, know Jesus, and will know Jesus all hear his voice.

Through Joshua's obedience we learn how not to be passive observes of God's work like some people tapping on the glass or sitting in the stands. And we learn how we can instead step out in bold faith to join Him on the field.
