We have just posted a new sermon called Does Jesus Know My Name? Here’s an excerpt:

This is the ultimate answer to the answer to the question, "Does Jesus know my name?" In John 10:14 Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me." The last time I saw my father before he died, he was in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in Birmingham and was desperately ill. I walked in and said, "Hi, Dad." But he didn’t recognize me. He talked but he didn’t know who he was talking to. He was so sick that he didn’t know I was in the room.

I know someone who never forgets my name and is never too busy for me. I know someone who knows me through and through, better than I know myself, who knows all my fears and dreams, my motives and hidden thoughts. I know someone who knows me intimately and loves me anyway. His name is Jesus. And when I cry out, he runs to my side.
