    As we think of the relationship between sheep and their shepherd, let us consider why a shepherd purchases and raises a flock of sheep.

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1 A Question: “If the Lord is my shepherd, what does that tell me about myself?” There is one thing we Christians need to get clear in our minds, and that is, “who He is” and “who we are”.

    My first sermon was certainly no model for Christian preaching. However, Peter’s first sermon presents a model that should characterize all Christian preaching today. Notice the elements in the first Christian sermon. There was explanation, exposition,

     | 2,788 views

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

    It is easy to look at our day to day experiences and think that we will be covered up and defeated. When we realize what God has laied out for us and truly understand our position, life is good.

    As a church of people in partnership, it is important we hear what God is saying to us as a church and even more important we act on what God is saying to us.
