Introduction:

We want to know where the beef is, too.

Without the life of Christ, we are dead.

  • The root of the problem is the sin of Adam.
  • Illustration: Sam the forester disobeys and gets kicked out of his mansion.
God often has a hard time getting our attention.
  • We are sheep, and sheep are ignorant.
  • Like sheep, we follow whatever looks the best.
  • Illustration: Sheep return to their folds through only one entrance guarded by the shepherd.
  • Other voices who entice us away from Jesus are thieves and robbers.
The meaning of abundant life.
  • You will be saved.

  • You will be satisfied.

  • The beef is in Jesus, the substance of life.
