    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,448 views

    EASTER 4 - Jesus is the Good Shepherd who loves his sheep to and even beyond death. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who wants all sheep in his flock.

    JESUS IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD (Outline) May 15, 2011 - Easter 4 - JOHN 10:11-16 INTRO: Not too many people today have the job of being a shepherd. The job of a modern day shep-herd has greatly changed since the time of Jesus. A shepherd is still vital in taking care of the sheep. At ...read more

    Ivd2 While Having Appearances Of Wisdom, Such Practices Have No Value (Col. 2:23) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 8, 2019
     | 2,420 views

    I am amazed at the way educated people in America flock to see and hear gurus and other Eastern spiritual leaders whose teaching cannot change the human heart.

    1/2/19 Tom Lowe IVD2 WHILE HAVING APPEARANCES OF WISDOM, SUCH PRACTICES HAVE NO VALUE (COL. 2:23) Scripture: Colossians 2:23 (NIV) Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack ...read more

    Laughing In The Woods And Feilds.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 6, 2020
     | 1,732 views

    Notice in verse 8…That night, in a field near Bethlehem,… Many scholars believe that these could be the same fields where sacrificial flocks were kept for temple worship.

    Laughing In the Woods Luke 2:8-12TPT Luke 2:8-12TPT That night, in a field near Bethlehem, there were shepherds watching over their flocks. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in radiant splendor before them, lighting up the field with the blazing glory of God, and the shepherds were ...read more

    Sheep Without A Shepherd

    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,182 views

    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.

    Dakota Community Church November 23, 2014 Sheep Without Shepherds The metaphorical connection between shepherds and kings was a common one in the Old Testament. Isaiah 44:24,28 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: … who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, ...read more

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 7,876 views

    In our society today, tolerance is considered a virtue. But our definition of it has changed - and accepting and even applauding any and every practice will weaken and pollute our lives. Learn how to safeguard your church and your life from compromise.

    When I read verses 18-29 I picture a church in turmoil - a good church with good people that has been infiltrated with those who would exploit weakness and draw off believers into immorality. The good people stand by and watch - and mourn. The church in Thyatira was small - and sometimes in a small ...read more

    Do Not Be Decieved Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,056 views

    Paul’s concern that his flock are being deceived, and the deceptions we face today. This was preached on Bible Sunday, so ends with and emphasis on the Bible as the way to avoid being deceived.

    Do not be decieved - Colossians 2:1-5 Deception Paul is worried. He is struggling for the believers at Collosae and Laodicea. There are some new ideas being spoken about. They are questioning Christ’s divinity. We have already heard the message that Paul gave a couple of weeks back – The ...read more

    Family Ties Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,269 views

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more

    Trusting God

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on May 18, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 29,516 views

    Christians have the opportunity, just as they did during the plagues and epidemics of history, to distinguish themselves from the world. It is the Preacher’s responsibility to lead the flock during this pandemic for that very purpose.

    TITLE: TRUSTING GOD SCRIPTURE: EPHESIANS 3:14-21 There are several things I want to address in this morning’s message that don’t necessarily all flow together very smoothly. But I think that’s okay. If you find anything these days that’s flowing together smoothly, please let me know. In this ...read more

     | 5,670 views

    Declaring that Christ the Lord has come, the angels did it. Now we are to declare the good news that is for all the people.

    Last year I spoke about the passage in Luke’s gospel where the shepherds are out in the fields doing the thing shepherds do best, out living in the fields looking after the sheep as they did in the day. When something strange happened and beyond all of their imaging happened, remember these ...read more

    Paralysis By Analysis

    Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,505 views

    Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

    Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

    Church members sit and eat like sheep. Every Sunday, back to the dinner table we go. This is a Monday morning message, to inspire the flock to do something with what they just heard.

    What makes sheep? Sheep make sheep. And we are his people and the sheep of His pasture. So how do we go about making more sheep for His flock?

    In a large city there was once a prominent church building. It was a beautiful four story structure that dominated the city block on which it stood. It was well known in the community for its beautiful building, it’s dignified and well educated preacher, a choir with professional quality, and a ...read more

    Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,929 views

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

    How Do You Overcome False Teachers In A Movement?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 24, 2024
     | 660 views

    Every church movement, every denomination has false teachers that they have to deal with. As Jesus taught, the wheat and the tares are growing together. Ravenous wolves, he predicted would rush into the flock.

    "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves." -2 Peter 2:1 Every church movement, every ...read more
