The Claim That Changes Everything - John 10:22-42 | May 19, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story, where each weekday Pastor Stephen Mizell and Jay Rivenbark and guest host sit down with one passage from the One Year Bible. Today Pastor Sheryl Daughety and the hosts dig into John 10:22-42, where Jesus declares "the Father and I are one" — one of the boldest claims to deity in all of Scripture — and the fierce reactions that follow. Scripture Focus: John 10:22-42 - Jesus claims unity with the Father, defends his identity through his works, and divides every listener into one of two camps. In This Episode: Why Jesus' claim to deity makes neutrality impossible — he is either who he says he is, or he is dangerous How miracles get attention but are never enough on their own to change a hardened heart Why people reject Jesus not because they misunderstand him, but because they do understand him and don't want to surrender control Key Quote: "People don't reject Jesus because they don't understand him. They reject him because they do, and they don't want to give up the control."
