The Good Shepherd will wipe away every tear and bring peace to the sheep.
Sermon: “The Good Shepherd”
Theme: We listen to the voice of Jesus and make following faithfully our focus so that we may fully enjoy the love of God.
Purpose: To encourage us to sacrifice ego and trust God’s guidance.
Scriptures: Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd.
John 10:22-30 Jesus says: “My sheep hear my voice and they follow.”
Questions:
What does it mean that Jesus is “The Good Shepherd?” In what ways are we called to be like sheep? What is comforting about knowing that Jesus will guide us? Are we prepared to submit ourselves and follow? Or are we wanting God to be our servant and to do our will? What does it mean to “hear” the shepherd’s voice? Are we doing what we need to do in order to listen to Christ? Are we willing to let Jesus guide us through the valley of darkness? Or are we basing our faith on getting our own way?
Followed by Congregational Meeting to meet with Rev. Bill Blank of the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center
