Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Louie Giglio
September 13, 2020

Life was never meant to be lived alone. God designed us to live life in communities, in circles. Louie Giglio kicked off a new collection titled Everybody, where he broke down seven reasons why it’s important to be fully seen and known in a small circle of community.

  1. Jesus is in the circle.

  2. Everybody knows your name.

  3. Your understanding of God grows.

  4. You're cared for and you care for others.

  5. You learn to defer in love.

  6. You put your roots down.

  7. You are covered and accountable.

Scripture References

27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
1
“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2
The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7Therefore Jesus said again,
“Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12
The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
13
The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
15
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
17
The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
44All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
14For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
