     | 14,364 views

    This was a funeral for a godly woman (who raised sheep). What did it mean for Jesus to be her Shepherd?

    A 23rd Psalm Funeral Jean Morphet was a very Godly woman and it’s no surprise (given that she and her husband Don raised sheep most of their lives) that the family told me that her favorite passage of Scripture was the 23rd Psalm. So I want to begin today’s eulogy by reading it: “The LORD is my ...read more

    If you want the calm of this psalm, you must become one of the Shepherd's sheep.

    Once, a Sunday School teacher asked her class, “How many of you can quote Psalm 23?” Several students raised their hands, including a little girl who was only four years old.

    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

    TWO YOUNG PIGEONS: Jesus’ family gave the poor offering. - Luke 2:24. - Leviticus 12:8. - Unless you know the Old Testament background, the mention of dove/pigeon offering is one that we would pass right over. We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more
