...#5. What would change if listening to Jesus took priority over everything else— in our congregation, & in your own life?* Also, how would we know if we were listening to Jesus & not someone or something else? What role do the creeds & Book of Concord have in teaching our ears to know the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:3-5, 16, 26-27)?  See John 5:39-47; Romans 10:13-17; 2 Timothy 1:13-14, 2:14-18; Titus 1:9, 2:1; 2 Peter 1:19-21. Creeds & Book of Concord available bookofconcord.org

When is the last time Jesus challenged you— really challenged you— to act as a neighbor to someone else?* (Cf. v37.) How did it go? What did you learn about them? About yourself? About what others thought of you?  (*Thanks to Pr. Nathan Hilkert, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Athens GA for this question.)
