    Security In The Shepherd

    Contributed by Christopher Nerreau on May 9, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,221 views

    In a dialog with the religious leaders of Christ’s day, Jesus describes Himself as the "Good Shepherd". When we get a hold of what Christ was saying, then we will find security, peace and comfort. Today we will explore a little more closely what it means

    “Security In The Shepherd” John 10:7-16 05/11/2008 By Dcn. Chris Nerreau Introduction: I know a man named Steven who grew up in foster homes. He went from place to place, family to family and averaged a move a year – By the time Steven was 9 he had lived in at least ten different homes. ...read more

    What do you expect from Jesus? The people, disciples, and the religious leaders had some very specific expectations of Jesus on Palm Sunday. He shattered all of them, just as He shatters our expectations as well. And that's a good thing!

    John 12:1-2, 9-19 Jesus performed an incredible miracle in raising Lazarus. It made huge waves. It wasn’t the first person Jesus raised, but it was the first who had been raised after the Jewish belief that the soul had left the body.

    Jesus Tells Date Of His Crucifixion Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 12, 2019
     | 3,862 views

    Here in this passage, Jesus predicts His death at the hand of the ones who should have been the first to accept him as Israel’s Messiah. It is incredible that these religious leaders perpetrated history’s greatest crime during Israel’s holiest festival.

    JESUS TELLS DATE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION INTRODUCTION Life presents us with many opportunities; how we respond to them depends on what we love and what we look for in life. The Jewish leaders looked for the opportunity to destroy Jesus, while at the same time Jesus was anticipating the opportunity ...read more

    Two men went to the Temple to pray. One is a religious leader. The other is a dishonest, man who has no qualms about ripping people off for his one advantage. Which of these two do you think is going to leave in a right relationship with God!

    What is authentic discipleship ? Surely it is that which Jesus taught. In this message we look at the terms Jesus laid down for those who would choose to follow him.

    FOLLOWING THE LEADER The Terms of Authentic Discipleship The children’s game ‘following the leader’ has introduced all of us to the concept that Jesus sought to initiate among his DISCIPLES. Watching, walking, imitating, responding as the leader does. Matthew 16:21-28 The setting and context ...read more

    Simon says, "touch your nose. . ." Jesus says, "follow my example." With a servant’s heart you won’t just "win the game;" you will have the blessing of God’s hand upon your life. Will you willing to take up the towel and serve others like Jesus did?

    As a child I was never very good at the game “Simon Says.” You remember how that game is played don’t you? The leader plays the part of Simon, and everyone playing has to do what Simon says. Of course the catch is that you are only to do what Simon says when Simon says, “Simon says. . .” ...read more

    Can everyone become a leader in the local church? The writer of Hebrews is bemoaning that after so much time the saints were still immature. Is that the case of the church today? Everyone is expected to be and can be a leader!

    Introduction: The fervor of the early church was already dwindling by the time of the writing of this later book of the New Testament. Persecution was causing many to fall away. The writer is bemoaning the fact that by this time many of them should have been teachers. They were still spiritual ...read more

    A WORD TO THE CHURCH - Haggai (Part 5) God has an ordained leader that He has chosen. Will you follow the leader? (This message is not recomended for those who are not committed to servant leadership.)
