    The Good Shepherd is the great "Iam", The Shepherd is "Good", The Shepeherd desires relationship, and the Shepherd has "Power" to save. The Shepherd wants to save us!

    “The Good Shepherd” John 10:11-18 1. The first thing I noticed in this text is the “Boom” right off the bat Jesus says, “I am” • “Ego eimi, I am he” (4:26) I am the bread of life” (6:35). I am the light of the world” (8:12; 9:5). • “Before ...read more

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1).

    In 605 B.C. the Babylonians defeated the Assyrians at the Battle of Carchemish. Babylon became the ruler of much of the civilised world. Most of the book of Jeremiah concerns destruction by Babylon. The Babylonian Empire conquered the Kingdom of Judah and destroyed Jerusalem in 587 B.C. But ...read more
