Held in the Hand of the Shepherd

Jan 18, 2026    Carlos Orozco

In this sermon, Pastor Carlos explores John 10:22-42, discussing the theme 'Held in the Hand of the Shepherd.' He addresses the tension of faith when believers feel their trust wavering, urging the congregation to reflect on the question 'How long?' This query, born from fatigue, becomes a central theme as Carlos emphasizes that faith is not about controlling circumstances but trusting in Jesus's grip. He highlights Jesus’s responses to the Pharisees, emphasizing the relational nature of faith and the assurance that believers are held securely by God. The sermon encourages listeners to release their grip on control and rest in the divine care of the Good Shepherd.
