    Jesus came to His own people and they rejected Him, the Sanhedrin hated Him, and even His own disciples abandoned Him in Gethsemane. Truly Jesus was destitute of companionship.

    Luke 9:58 Introduction: In our text, Jesus is not speaking of Him living in poverty, but He is speaking of His lack of normal necessities for living such as companionship and acceptance into His society. Jesus clearly is teaching His disciples and us, that to live Godly will ...read more

    1. Jesus joined humanity in mortal life and death. 2. Jesus frees us from fear of loss. 3. Jesus frees us from fear of abandonment.

    APOSTLES’ CREED: He Descended into Hades When we talk about the Apostles’ Creed in membership classes, I ask people if they have questions they want to talk about. Almost always, someone asks about the phrase, “He descended into hell.” What does that mean? Honestly, I don’t know exactly what the ...read more

    The command to honor our parents is not reserved for childhood obedience. In today's culture of independence and personal choice, Christian adults must learn to show honor to their parents and not abandon them.

    We never stop worrying about our children. That includes our adult children! Our children can bring us the GREATEST JOYS, and also the GREATEST SORROWS. Many Christian parents grieve over....

    Jesus is the good shepherd of our lives. He guides us in the way we should go. He calls us by name. He protects us, leads us, provides for us, and takes us to safety in eternal life.

    This is a paper on the relationships between the parable of the lost sheep, coin, and prodigal son. It looks at common theme and whether the parables should be taken as one extended parable.

    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,139 views

    I sometimes identify more with being a Shepherd’s dog for Jesus than being a shepherd of the flock. This is a message that deals with the Love of God for His sheep.

    It’s Great Being a Dog – But I’d rather be a Shepherd By Pastor Jim May 1 John 4:15-16, "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
