Podcasts about feed my sheep

A sermon by Chris Parris Payden based on John 21 preached on June 15th for the Short North congregation of Veritas Community Church as part of our sermon series called "John: That You May Believe."

Summary In this episode of the podcast, Jeff Stegal and volunteers from Baylor Scott and White discuss their experiences serving at Feed My Sheep in Temple, Texas. They explore the mission of the organization, the challenges faced by the homeless community, and the importance of community support and belonging. The conversation delves into mental health issues, substance abuse, and the systemic barriers that hinder individuals from accessing resources. The volunteers share their expectations, reflections on service, and the personal growth they experience through their involvement. In this conversation, the group discusses the importance of addressing not just physical hunger but also emotional and spiritual needs. He highlights the challenges of expanding their services to include mental health support and the necessity of community involvement over government intervention. Jeff also reflects on the significance of purpose in life and how it relates to the individuals they serve, ultimately finding beauty in the struggles faced by the community.  

CPT board member Doug Sweeney joins the podcast today. He previews his topic for the 2025 CPT Conference, Good Shepherds: Pastoral Identity and the Future of the Church. What are good Christian pastors supposed to be like? On the other hand, what malformative models of pastoral identity are common in our culture today? Doug also tells us about his 2024 book, Substance of Our Faith: Foundations for the History of Christian Doctrine. Check it out on today's episode!

In Chapter 5 Paul starts by speaking elders to pasters and those who are more mature in their walk with Christ asking them to watch, care and be patient with those who God has entrusted to them that are younger in the faith. He also point out that we should never become eager to become leader because of what we will get from it but because we want to serve God whole heartedly. Leader are to guide by example and Paul remines them that there is a crown or never ending glory and honor that will be given to every leader that does so. He goes on to speak to new believers that their responsibility is to be humble, to serve each other and accept the authority of the elders. Speaking to both Peter goes on to talk about Satan telling them to be vigilant because Satan seeks to come against us. But we are to stand strong on the word of God knowing that God doesn't give us more then we can bare and he will restore us.

In this episode of the Collage Podcast, host Jeff Steagal engages in a deep conversation with city leaders from Temple, Texas, exploring the essence of leadership, the importance of community, and the burdens that come with making difficult decisions. The discussion highlights the significance of empathy, sacrifice, and the qualities that define both good and bad leaders. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, the guests share their insights on what it means to lead effectively and the responsibilities that come with it. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the multifaceted nature of leadership, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, the balance between being born a leader and developing leadership skills, and the complexities of what makes a great leader. They discuss personal experiences that shaped their understanding of leadership, the significance of self-criticism, and the impact of one's sphere of influence. The dialogue culminates in a reflection on the inherent imperfections of leaders and the essential belief that every individual matters in the community.

A new MP3 sermon from Carey Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Jesus Asks Peter Three Times "Do You Love Me?"

In Chapter 4:12-19 Paul speaks to us about suffering we will encounter as Christians because many will not understand the changes in your life as a believer. Just like Jesus you will suffer insults and anger from those who don't understand your decision to live for God or the calling on your life. Enduring suffering for Christ is one way to glorify him in the earth. The only suffering we should not rejoice in is when we suffer in doing our own thing and not God's will. We must also be able to recognize when our suffering is a correction of God for doing wrong, Heb 12:8 tells us that God will disciple us because he loves us but refusing his correction is refusing God. Peter then tells us God will judge this world one day but his judgement will begin with those who belong to him, correcting them, exposing them in order to give them an opportunity to make themselves ready for his return. He will then judge the world and establish his kingdom on earth. Peter ends chapter 4 telling the righteous that not all who are saved will enter the Kingdom of God but only those who do the will of the father and live a life pleasing to him. We must live a life on fire for God and not be lukewarm.

"If you make it impossible for people to make you happy, then people will lose interest in whether you are happy or not." The Author John 21:15-19 (after breakfast, Jesus tells Peter that the way to love him is to care for the flock he described in John 10, one that included sheep Peter may not have considered to be eligible to join into one flock) #IC 192: 100 Ways (1/6/17) Galatians 2 Acts 10:1-11:18    

When Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love Me?” (John 21:15-17), He wasn't just looking for words but calling Peter to action. Each time Peter answered, Jesus responded with a command. Why? Because when we love God most, we love people best.

In Chapter 4:10-11 Peter reveals to us that there are spiritual gift available to us, gift we are to used to the benefit of others and not ourselves. 1 Cor 12:4-11 tells us that there are a total of nine gifts available given as the Holy Spirit wills. These gift our given to us who are part of the body of Christ through salvation to help us continue the works of Jesus as his body on earth. Just like our bodies are composed or many different members the body of Christ is also composed of many different members working under the anointing of different gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Birthplace of a Disciple: Peter's Restoration and Our JourneyWhen we look at John 21, we see more than just a story about Peter's failure and comeback. We witness the fundamental pattern of discipleship that begins with a fall and leads to restoration and mission.What is the Pattern of Discipleship?The pattern we see in Peter's life follows a clear progression:The Call - "Follow me and I'll make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19)The Fall - Peter denying Christ three timesThe Restoration - Jesus meeting Peter where he was and restoring himThe Mission - Being sent out to "feed my sheep"This pattern isn't just Peter's story—it's the life track of every disciple. Many believers accept Christ, fall away when life gets complicated, experience calamity, and then find restoration in Jesus who meets them exactly where they are.How Does Jesus Restore Peter?In John 21:17-19, we see Jesus asking Peter three times, "Do you love me?" This mirrors Peter's three denials before the crucifixion. Each time Peter affirms his love, Jesus responds with a commission:"Feed my lambs""Tend my sheep""Feed my sheep"After this restoration, Jesus tells Peter, "Follow me"—echoing his original call. The symmetry is beautiful and intentional. Jesus doesn't just forgive Peter; he fully restores him to ministry and purpose.Can I Serve God After I've Failed?One of the most powerful truths in this passage is that service in God's kingdom isn't "predicated on inherent human perfection or an unblemished record." It's based on grace and ongoing dependence on Christ.Many believers feel unqualified to serve because of past failures. Satan loves to plant doubt in our minds about our worthiness. But our worthiness doesn't come from ourselves—it comes from the blood of Christ.Peter's story shows us that our failures don't disqualify us from ministry. In fact, it's often through our failures that God prepares us for greater service.What Does It Mean to Be Redeemed?Ephesians 1:3-6 reminds us that God "chose us in him before the foundation of the world." His plan has always been to redeem us. The price of our adoption into God's family was immense—it pleased God to crush His Son for our sake.When we understand the magnitude of this redemption, it transforms our identity. We're not just forgiven sinners; we're adopted children of the King. We're princes and princesses of the Most High, called to walk with dignity and righteousness.This redemption isn't something we can lose through our failures. As Ephesians 1:13-14 tells us, we are "sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance."What Does "Feed My Sheep" Mean for Disciples Today?Jesus' commission to Peter reveals the progression of discipleship ministry:"Feed my lambs" - New believers need nurturing and special care, like lambs"Tend my sheep" - Maturing believers need shepherding and guidance"Feed my sheep" - All believers need ongoing spiritual nourishmentThis progression shows us that discipleship isn't just about our personal relationship with God—it's about caring for others in the flock. Every believer has a ministry and is called to use their spiritual gifts to build up the body of Christ.How Does This Apply to Church Unity?Ephesians 2:19-22 reminds us that we are "no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." We are being built together as a dwelling place for God's Spirit.This unity is essential to discipleship. We're not lone rangers in our faith journey—we're part of a flock that needs protection and care. As disciples, we're called to be "armed and dangerous" to protect the flock from the enemy who seeks to devour.Life ApplicationThe story of Peter's restoration challenges us to examine our own discipleship journey:Recognize your need for daily redemption: God's mercy is new every morning. Do you allow yourself to receive this grace daily, or do you hold onto your failures?Embrace restoration: If you've fallen away or failed in some area, Jesus is waiting to restore you just as he did Peter. He meets you where you are but calls you to something greater.Accept your mission: What is your specific role in feeding and tending God's sheep? Every believer has spiritual gifts meant to build up the body of Christ.Extend restoration to others: How quick are you to judge others who have failed? Remember that Jesus seeks restoration, not condemnation.Ask yourself:Where am I in the discipleship cycle? Am I experiencing the call, the fall, restoration, or mission?What spiritual gifts has God given me to serve others in the flock?Is there someone in my life who needs restoration that I can help guide back to Jesus?Am I living with the dignity of a child of the King, or am I still defining myself by my failures?Remember, your identity in Christ is more important than anything in this world—more than your job, your possessions, or your achievements. As you embrace this identity, you'll find yourself growing into the disciple God has called you to be.

He explains that most people allow their minds to wander aimlessly, much like sheep without a shepherd, but true mastery requires feeding and disciplining the mind to manifest desires effectively.Key Teachings1. The Meaning of "Feeding the Sheep""Feed my sheep" means to shepherd our thoughts deliberately.Thoughts, like scattered sheep, must be gathered and directed toward a chosen outcome.The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 illustrates that mental faculties must be actively developed—unused abilities atrophy like an unexercised muscle.2. Israel is Within, Not an External NationNeville interprets biblical Israel not as a geographic nation, but as ideas and desires scattered within the mind."Jacob" represents our imagined desires before they take form in the physical world."Esau" symbolizes external reality—the physical, visible world.To bring "Jacob" to the Lord means to assume and persist in the reality of our desires until they manifest.3. Moving from Servant to SonThe spiritual journey follows three stages:Servant – Learning to direct thought and consciously manifest.Friend – Developing a close relationship with the deeper self (God).Son – Realizing oneself as the divine creator, one with God.We begin as servants, proving our faith by demonstrating control over our reality.Once mastery is achieved, we become friends of God, communing with Him directly.Finally, we awaken to our divine nature and recognize ourselves as sons of God.4. The Power of Assumption in ManifestationSeeing a desire clearly in the mind's eye is seeing Israel.Occupying the state of the wish fulfilled is bringing Jacob to the Lord.Success is not found in the external world but within, through assumption.To manifest, one must move from merely seeing a desire to thinking from it—feeling as if it is already real.5. The Role of Faith and Testing the LawNeville urges us to test these principles by consciously manifesting for ourselves and others.We can prove we are "servants" by bringing about small, tangible changes in our lives.Success in these small tests strengthens our faith and moves us closer to divine realization.To not test these principles is to bury our talents, like the servant in the parable who hid his gift in fear.Practical ApplicationChoose a Desire – Clearly define what you or someone else wants.See It as Already Real – In your mind's eye, vividly imagine it as a present fact.Think from the State – Assume and persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.Disregard Physical Reality – Ignore contrary evidence in the external world.Remain Faithful Until It Hardens Into Fact – Continue assuming until it manifests. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, thi...

“This disciple is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.” (John 21:24 NLT) Simon Peter was a fisherman by trade. So it seems fitting that his first encounter with Jesus had taken place on a boat. Luke 5 tells us that after an unsuccessful fishing excursion, Peter was cleaning his nets when he saw Jesus being followed by a large crowd. Jesus stepped onto Peter’s boat and asked him to row Him out a little bit so that He could teach the crowd from the boat. After Jesus finished teaching, He instructed Peter to row a little further out and let down his nets again. This time when Peter did, the nets became so full of fish that they began to tear. It was a miraculous haul. In the last chapter of John’s Gospel, Jesus repeats the scene. Peter and six other disciples had returned to their boats in Galilee. After fishing all night with nothing to show for it, they were rowing back to shore. A voice from the beach told them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat. When they did, their nets filled immediately. “It’s the Lord!” John realized in verse 7 (NLT). That was all Simon Peter needed to hear. In true Simon Peter fashion, he immediately jumped overboard and swam to shore. Jesus had breakfast ready for His hungry disciples. After they had eaten, Jesus asked Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” (verse 15a NLT). In other words, “Is your love for Me greater than the love of these other disciples?” “‘Yes, Lord,’ Peter replied, ‘you know I love you.’ “‘Then feed my lambs,’ Jesus told him” (verse 15b NLT). Twice more, Jesus asked if Peter loved Him. Twice more, Peter said yes. And twice more Jesus gave a variation of His instruction: “Then take care of my sheep” (verse 16 NLT) and “Then feed my sheep” (verse 17 NLT). On the night of Jesus’ arrest, Peter had denied three times that he was Jesus’ disciple. On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, three times he announced that he was, in fact, Jesus’ disciple. Jesus gave Peter the chance to redeem himself and prove his true character. The disciple who had been too timid to admit his connection with Jesus would soon become one of the boldest in proclaiming Jesus’ message. Peter would become one of the cornerstones of the first-century church. And, as Jesus informs him, he would one day die by the same means Jesus did. “You will stretch out your hands” (verse 18 NLT) is a reference to crucifixion. Church tradition tells us that Peter was crucified in Rome. In the final chapter of John, Jesus shows us that no failure is too devastating to come back from. As long as we have breath to confess and repent, we can recover. Jesus will forgive us. He will restore us. He will give us an important purpose and place in His work. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest Partner Support the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Volunteers visiting Feed My Sheep during their holiday break from college talk to Jeff about their motivations for serving and their experience.

Everyone here and everyone watching or listening, at one time or another in their lives, has probably had someone do them wrong, really wrong, bad wrong. Maybe even a few times! Can anyone identify with this? We all can probably. If not, just give life enough time. And what we normally do is get angry. It is a natural reaction. And the anger lingers and settles in and we resent the wrong and can easily begin to hold a grudge against them. Scripture talks about grudges. Is it ok to hold a grudge? What should we do with grudges? If you have ever wondered if God holds grudges, you are in the right place. There is a great example of where Jesus was done wrong by one of his closest followers and then how Jesus handled it with him.

Wendy joins Jeff and talks about her life, her circumstances that led to homelessness and her experience at Feed My Sheep.

This is message 5 in The Twelve Disciples series John 1:35-39 John, the beloved disciple, exemplified a life devoted to Christ through his love for the Lord, the brethren, and truth. From his close relationship with Jesus to his pastoral care for the chuch, John's life and writings reflect his commitment to proclaiming Christ's deity, sacrificial love, and ultimate victory. Even in exile on Patmos, God used John to reveal the final book of the Bible, demonstrating that faithfulness to the Word and the testimony of Jesus endure beyond all trials.
