    This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

    Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

His eyes seem to be looking for danger or searching for a safe place to give his sheep food and water. I imagine that many of you have seen a picture or painting of the ...read more

    The failure of the leaders God has placed over his people will result in the nation suffering as well as the leaders being judged.
