    It is an issue of surrender.

    Is the Lord truly your shepherd? INTRODUCTION: Psalm 23 contains a short yet beautiful portrait of our relationship with God. It promises comfort and protection to those who remain close to the Shepherd and demonstrates how our spiritual needs are met in the Lord. Joel Preston originally wrote ...read more

    God takes ordinary people like you and like me and He calls us to share an extraordinary message of love, grace and mercy that begins with the birth of the Savior.

    Do you ever feel like you don’t really matter to God? Do you ever think that God is so busy running the universe that He doesn’t have time to be concerned about your insignificant life? Do you ever feel like you really don’t have anything of worth to offer to God? I think if ...read more

    We are called sheep, but we tend to get into some wooly situations simply because we aren't sheepish. It is time to learn to be sheep and to follow The Shepherd.

    Sheepish Pt. 4 - The Sheep I. Introduction 500 times. More than any other animal mentioned in Scripture. So engrained in the mindset and culture of the Bible that they instantly understood and comprehended the meaning associated with the comparison throughout the Old and then into the New ...read more

    That's A Song To Sing

    Contributed by Joe W. Theus on Dec 30, 2015
     | 4,017 views

    Seeking comfort at times may come through singing songs you like. It is a part of the African American history to sing when frustrated, depressed, or even seeking decisions for life's quest

    This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more

    So Many Lambs, An Abundance Of Wolves, Too Few Shepherds

     | 878 views

    The events described in Revelation Chapter 6 describe the terrors that will come upon the earth. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd about to face this horrid time. We must bring them to Jesus before it is too late.

    Bible prophecy is not preached in a majority of churches today. The sad fact is that a lot of "churches" don't bother to preach from the Bible but are more than happy to cater to the unholy trinity of "me, myself, and I". They are in the business of people pleasing and ...read more

    The shepherds of Israel were guilty of bringing God’s judgment on them and their poeple, in the same way, God’s shepherds today have failed the Church.

    This is an ordination sermon I wrote when we accepted 2 deacon couples and a minister as leaders in our church.

    Jesus declares Himself to be the Good Shepherd.

    I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand ...read more
