    All We Like Sheep Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

     | 4,773 views

    We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

    To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

    Seven hundred years before Bethlehem. Seven centuries before a manger, a cross, and an empty tomb. God was already preaching the Gospel. The book of Isaiah is not merely ancient poetry or distant prophecy—it is a Spirit-breathed portrait of Jesus Christ.

    Behold the Servant-King: Following Jesus Through the Prophecies of Isaiah Introduction: Seeing Jesus Before He Was Seen Church, disciples of Jesus Christ, today we stand on holy ground.

     | 853 views

    To the world that nailed Him to a cross, He will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He came once as a Lamb, but He will return as a Lion. Once as a Savior, He will come again as the Judge who will sit on His throne to judge the nations.

    Goats to the Left of Me and Sheep to the Right Matthew 25:31-46 Matthew chapters 24 and 25, otherwise known as the Olivet Discourse, contain the most detailed description of events that are to occur in the future among the Lord’s recorded teachings.

     | 1,291 views

    Joshua chapter 5 reflects a couple of items Israel hadn't done in nearly 40 years. Israel had crossed the Jordan River, ready to claim their Promised Land, but they had to take care of a couple of items first.

    Introduction: Israel had crossed over the Jordan River and now they were camping in Canaan, the Promised Land! God had kept every promise He had made to Israel. Israel, though, had not kept every promise they had made to God. One of those promises was to circumcise (definition omitted here but ...read more

    Isaac carried the wood; Jesus carried the wood; and in both cases, Father and Son walked on together.

    Before we turn to the passage of our study today, I feel we must first look at a couple of other verses of scripture. Turn with me to the book of Genesis, chapter 22, verse 6 and let’s read. “AND ABRAHAM TOOK THE WOOD OF THE BURNT OFFERING AND LAID IT ON ISAAC HIS SON, AND HE TOOK IN HIS HAND THE ...read more

     | 3,372 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ had been sentenced to death by crucifixion. Once He died, most people believed that everything died along with Him. But it wasn't--three days later, He arose from Joseph's tomb, ALIVE!

    Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ had been betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, as all four Gospel writers describe in their works. What happened next is an attempt to get rid of Jesus by any means necessary in the minds of the religious leaders. It’s a sad commentary that ...read more

    The Sunday School teacher asked the class " What do you think were Jesus first words when he came out of the tomb?" A little girl shouted frantically I know!, I know!" Extending her arms into the air she said " TA DA!". Beloved "TA DA the Lord has risen!"

     | 3,344 views

    To grow old and still retain the joy and wonder of a child at Christmas, with God’s help, quit complaining about your own problems. Instead, celebrate what God has done in sending us His Son, and share it with as many people as you can.

    A little girl came home from Sunday school waving a paper for her mother to see. “Look Mommy,” she exclaimed, “Teacher says I drew the most unusual Christmas picture she ever saw!” Her mother took one look and had to agree with the teacher. Hoping her daughter could explain her creation, the ...read more

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem he told the Pharisees, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

    For the next few moments I want you to try to imagine what it must have been like to be among those who stood on the streets of Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday. (I’ll even let you close your eyes if you like, as long as you promise not to go to sleep!) The city would have been bustling with ...read more

    On Good Friday, all hope was lost. Yet, Easter Sunday brought hope, forgiveness, and life to all who would choose Jesus as Lord. He is risen, and he rises us to new life as well!

    Luke 24:1-12 The Beginning Nature’s seasons remind us of the seasons of life. There is spring, where new growth is popping up out of the earth. The wild flowers are so pretty this time of year in South Texas. There is summer, and later fall, which here is like a slightly milder form of summer. ...read more
