    The Lord Is My Shepherd Series

    The relationship of the shepherd and the sheep is much deeper than many of us realize.

    It’s interesting that the 23rd Psalm is one of the most loved and familiar passages in the Bible and yet so many people live their lives as if the version that I just read is true rather than the one in the Bible. We can live with such a wonderful sense of denial about the things of God and ...read more

    In the 23rd Psalm we see David reflecting upon his life from the Green Pastures of his youth to the valley of the shadow of death(which was not far off). He notes one common theme namely that the Lord was his shepherd, today can we say the same thing?

    Is The Lord My Shepherd? Psalm 23 ORIENTATION: • Have you ever taken a moment to reflect upon your life? • To simply stop what you are doing, be quite and reflect? • For some of us maybe this is too difficult (the hurts to great, and pain to unbearable) for others impossible (especially if ...read more

    This sermon was written for a pastor's 13 year anniversary celebration at their church. But can also be used for a church anniversary celebration or can even be revised to be a general Sunday sermon.

    Psalm 23, our text for today, is incredibly famous – maybe one of the best-known Bible passages besides John 3:16. It's written in a way that feels poetic and musical. But more importantly, it's a source of great comfort. People often read Psalm 23 when they feel desperate, depressed, or ...read more

    The night our Savior was born in Bethlehem there were many other shepherds watching over flocks in the Judean hill country. This outline submits some thoughts as to why these particular shepherds were so highly honored.

    WHY THESE PARTICULAR SHEPHERDS? Now there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.” Luke 2:8-9. There were ...read more

    The story of the Shepherds reminds us that to find the heart of Christmas we must look beneath the wrapping paper.

    The last few embers of the fire are dying out. The air hangs heavy with a silence broken only by the occasional bleat of a lamb. Huddled together for warmth, the shepherds are alone with their thoughts. Each one scanning the horizon. Looking. Perhaps casting a longing eye to the distant lights of ...read more

    The very people who are called to protect and feed the sheep have instead used their positions of authority to fleece the flock, exploiting them in order to make themselves rich and comfortable.
