    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

    Do we really know what it means to be sheep—even sheep of the Good Shepherd?

    It is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. Christians set aside one Sunday in the Easter Season as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” We can understand why this practice has stood the test of time. Christians love to think of Jesus as their Good Shepherd! Think of the emotions that a picture like ...read more

    What should we do if we find a missing sheep? What should we do if we have misplaced silver?

    The Missing Sheep In verses one - two: Sinners, are the classification of people who were crossed or cast out by many of the religious people of the time. Publicans (tax collectors) were especially detested. Why were the Pharisees bothered and irate that Jesus related with these individuals? The ...read more

    Luke 15 follows sooner after Jesus tells the story about a great Banquet, in which the “poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind” replace the anticipated guest at a great feast.

    “Admit One Lost Sheep” “Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.

    Separating Sheep From Goats Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Nov 30, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 998 views

    This sermon explores the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew's gospel, suggesting that it represents not the "End Times" but the inauguration of the Kingdom of God through Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.

    Much has been written on the phrase “Son of Man,” since it is Jesus’s primary self-designation in the Synoptic Gospels — 30 times in Matthew, 14 in Mark, 25 in Luke. But it is even prominent in John — where Jesus uses other self-designations, most notably the “I am” sayings — appearing 13 times in ...read more

    Dakota Community Church August 8, 2010 Tolerance – Part 4 Tolerance has come to mean the acceptance of every viewpoint as equally true and valid. True tolerance means treating with integrity dignity and humility a person whose opinion I consider to be untrue and invalid. 1. What about the “no ...read more

    Not even the worst afflictions you might face can cancel out God¡¦s purpose or God¡¦s favor in your life.

    The Good shepherd calls, but who is listening? The good shepherd leads, but who is following? What about when the sheep can not agree on what the good shepherd is saying or where He is going?

    Dakota Community Church May 17, 2009 The Good Shepherd 1 John 10:11-18 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks ...read more
