    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,848 views

    Mountain-Top experiences may be good but can easily get you in your head. We must not forget that the Valley experiences are the ones that shape, discipline and position you where God desires you to be.

    Opening illustration: Five year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. "It’s dark in there and I’m scared." She asked again, and he persisted. Finally she ...read more

    Still Waters Psalms 23:1-6 Last week we mention how David said “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures”. The environment around the sheep causes them to be restless. There are some conditions that must be met in order for sheep to lie down such as no fear, friction, and pestering ...read more

    Even in the worst of situations, God is still in charge, calming the waves and the storm.

     | 13,045 views

    Isaiah wrote Isaiah 40 to teach Israel that comfort is found in the Messiah who is a sovereign Shepherd, an incomparable Creator, and a strengthening Savior.

    Opening thought: Ever had someone tell you to get out of your comfort zone? Those who say that want you to get out of your complacency, drop the laziness, get moving, do something you’ve never done before, try something risky. In today’s passage, Isaiah encourages us to find a real ...read more

    A Compassionate Lord Series

    As Jesus surveyed the multitude, He saw them as sheep without a shepherd. He saw their need and spoke many things to them. I am glad He is aware of our need and has compassion toward us.

    A Compassionate Lord Mark 6: 30-34 As we continue through the sixth chapter of Mark, I realized we have discussed much in varied settings within this chapter. Jesus dealt with rejection in His hometown of Nazareth, the disciples were sent out to minister in pairs of two, and we read of the ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 15, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,460 views

    Starting from the angels promise of "good news of great joy," this sermon asks why Christians often don't see "great joy" in their lives.

    WHERE IS IT? The angel promised that this was good news of great joy. - Luke 2:10. - This passage has been repeated frequently enough during Christmastime that sometimes lose sight of its truth and just treat it as a cliché. The angel meant what he said: this was a message of good news of great ...read more

    The shepherds were excited to go see the baby Jesus. Have we lost our enthusiasm for what God is doing in the world?

    COULDN'T WAIT: The shepherds were eager to go see what God was doing. - Luke 2:15-16. - Consider for a moment the eagerness, curiosity, and enthusiasm of the shepherds. They’re genuinely excited to go look into what God is doing. - They were deeply affected by the good news. - I want to talk ...read more

    A Message on Psalm 23

    In "The Way of the Shepherd", author Don Baker says, If a shepherd sees the "sheep suddenly begin to spread out and move away from each other, he can be reasonably sure that something, possibly a rattler, is in the center of the circle." And so it is in human relationships, when we begin to ...read more

    For the Sunday after Christmas I asked this question..."what if no one told the story? What if we gave up? If those who came before us had given up we would not be where we are now.

    “What if we give Up? Luke 2:8-20 Most of us have seen this movie more times than we can count.

    a meditation on the Audience, Message, and Response to the angels' proclamation of the birth of Jesus. The meaning of glory-and Jesus ethical teachings compressed into "peace on earth goodwill toward men".

    Luke 2:28 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.

    Sooner or later, our life journey will take us through dark valleys. It’s during those times that we need to learn how to find God and experience His peace and joy.

    Who Do We Follow?

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 30, 2014
     | 5,450 views

    We may call ourselves Christians, but is Jesus our Shepherd? Are we really following him or merely using his name to excuse following a man, a tradition or our own stubbornness?

    Intro: We often hear the 23rd Psalm read or recited at funerals, but did you know that it does not apply to everyone, only to the sheep of the Great Shepherd. Goal: To really understand the most popular of all the Psalms. Plan: We will go through Psalm 23 looking at some important details. I ...read more
