Podcasts about Good Shepherd

On September 14th, Bob Ingle preached from John 10:11-21 in the thirty-ninth message of our series through the Gospel of John.

Friend, does your soul feel restless after loss? Maybe your mind won't stop racing, your heart never stops aching, and no matter how tired you are, your body doesn't find rest. I remember feeling that way after Andrew died — like nothing could quiet the storm inside me. But Psalm 23 tells us something different: “He leads me beside still waters; He refreshes my soul.” What does that really mean when your life feels anything but peaceful? In this episode, we'll talk about: Why grief makes your soul feel so thirsty and unsettled What W. Phillip Keller, a real-life shepherd, teaches us about “still waters” The difference between the world's quick fixes and the refreshment Jesus offers How to let the Good Shepherd restore your soul right where you are If you've been desperate for peace, this conversation will remind you — the Shepherd knows exactly where to lead you.

Welcome to this week's sermon: “The Joy of Heaven” for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19, Series C). In this powerful message, Pastor Balla unpacks Luke 15:1–10, where Jesus shares the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Discover how these parables reveal the heart of God toward sinners, the saving mission of Christ, and the heavenly joy that bursts forth when even one sinner repents.This sermon reminds us of our need for repentance, the danger of pride like the Pharisees, and the true joy found in the forgiveness of sins through Christ alone. Learn how the Good Shepherd seeks the lost, carries them home, and welcomes them to His Table—where heaven itself rejoices and joins us in the feast of His body and blood.If you long to understand repentance, grace, and the joy of heaven more deeply, this sermon will strengthen your faith and point you to Christ's unshakable promises.Support my ministry here: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags#Sermon #Luke15 #JoyOfHeaven #ChristianPreaching #LCMS

Jesus Has Broad Shoulders | Luke 15:1–10 | The Parable of the Lost Sheep Someone with “broad shoulders” is strong enough to carry the burdens of others. In today's Gospel, Jesus shows us that He is the Good Shepherd with the broadest shoulders of all. He carries the weight of our sin, the responsibility of our salvation, and He never abandons His sheep. In the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–10), we see His heart for each of us: when we stray, He seeks us out, lifts us up, and carries us home. You are not just a number to Him—you are known by name, and you belong to His flock.

As Moses approached the end of his life, his focus wasn’t on regret, bitterness, or personal loss—it was on God’s people. In Numbers 27:15-17, Moses prayed that the Lord would appoint a leader to guide Israel so they wouldn’t be “like sheep without a shepherd.” Despite his mistakes and missed opportunities, Moses left a legacy of faith, humility, and care for God’s people. This devotional reminds us that true spiritual leadership looks beyond ourselves and points others toward the ultimate Good Shepherd—Jesus—who leads us into rest, protection, and eternal promise. ✨ Highlights Moses’ selfless prayer — Even at the end of his life, Moses was focused on God’s people, not his own loss A legacy of faith — Despite failure, Moses’ life still pointed others toward God’s promises Jesus, our ultimate Shepherd — The fulfillment of Moses’ prayer is found in Jesus, who leads us to spiritual safety and rest (John 10:11) Kingdom perspective — God calls us to live with an eternal mindset, thinking beyond our present circumstances and investing in future generations Carrying God’s light — As Christ-followers, we are called to shine His light wherever we go and leave the world “better than we found it”

“Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it.” Proverbs 22:6    “In the absence of a faith environment where the child may live, of which he feels himself a part and in which he feels himself almost held, we risk cultivating hothouse flowers in the atrium, which are incapable of enduring the severity of the external climate. On the other hand, without a place where the child can come in touch with the religious reality in a way and at a rhythm suitable to children, there is the danger the child will pass by great things without ever being able to grasp, interiorize, and make these realities his own. The initiation of a child into Christian life is not a work that can be fulfilled by the catechist alone, nor by the parents alone, It is the whole Christian community that proclaims Christ, and the child must enter into contact with the entire Christian community. The catechist's work – valuable as it is- must be sustained and confirmed by a community that lives what the catechist proclaims.” Sofia Cavalletti, The Religious Potential of the Child page 30-31    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study    Hannah Marconeri shares with us idea on how to get parents involved in the CGS program as an aid to the CGS program but also for their own personal spiritual growth as well as to aid in the prayer life of their domestic churches.   Hannah Marconeri began her journey with The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in 2011 and currently serves as a catechist and Director of Discipleship at St. Robert Bellarmine in Flushing, MI.

SCRIPTURE: John 17:20-26 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In this high priestly prayer, Jesus first prays to the Father for His glorification and His soon return to heaven. The second part is His prayer for the Eleven Disciples, asking for their protection and sanctification. Finally, Jesus prays for future believers (John 17:20-26). As Jesus considered future followers who would believe in Him through the testimony of the Eleven, He asked His Father for two things: unity and glorification. II pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." John 17:21 The purpose of this unity is so that the world might believe that the Father sent the Son, meaning that Jesus is God's Son. The display of mutual love among Jesus' disciples demonstrates that they are His followers. Their love for one another shows that they genuinely follow His teachings and have His life. "I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them." John 17:26Closing Thoughts … · Jesus glorified the Father on earth. · He completed the work that the Father had given Him to do. · He revealed the Father's name to His own. · Jesus shared the Father's words with the disciples. · He cared for them just like the Good Shepherd cares for His sheep. · He sent them out into the world. · Holy Father, guard those You have given Me.SONG: "Our God Will Go Before Us" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmEYeZB8dDI&list=RDTmEYeZB8dDI&start_radio=1

Crossroads Church Podcast

Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that every human asks, “Is there more to life than this?” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Solomon had wealth, wisdom, and power, yet concluded it was all vapor without God. The ache of the human heart is eternity written within us, but we try to fill it with career, romance, wealth, or freedom idols that promise life but leave us restless. Jesus doesn't just offer more life; He is life. The Good Shepherd lays down His life so our emptiness can be filled with His abundance. The “more” your soul longs for isn't in you, it's through Him.

In a world that leaves us restless, Psalm 23 reminds us that our Shepherd is present, personal, and providing. In this message, we unpack how God restores our weary souls, not through striving, but through trusting the Shepherd who is enough. Join us as we learn to let the Good Shepherd guide us into rest, renewal, and a life rooted in His presence

Sometimes life feels so overwhelming that you don't even know what to pray. Chaos, burdens, and uncertainty can leave us speechless. But the good news is this: you always have a prayer to pray.In this message, we dive into Psalm 23 and discover what it really means when David says, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”Through the image of sheep and shepherd, Pastor John reminds us that:•Sheep can't guide themselves, they need a shepherd.•Like sheep, we're not meant to carry heavy burdens alone.•Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is the one who heals, restores, and leads us beside still waters.Even in seasons of chaos, pain, or uncertainty, God is near. He leads us, comforts us, and reminds us we are never alone.⸻

A sermon on being sheep.Preached in the Eucharist Sanctuary, September 7 2025.

We've been talking about spending time with God so that we can truly know Him more and become the person He wants us to be. In this week's message we start talking about what we can practically do to make that time with Jesus actually happen.

In this session you will learn: * We have to have a mindset that we do hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. * We have to walk by faith when being led by the Holy Spirit and trust we are being led whether we feel like it or not. (John 10:4, Romans 8:14) * What to say when you don't have a specific direction. * Keep putting the Word of God in your spirit and saying what God says about you. * Pray in the Holy Spirit ( I Corinthians 14:2) * God can make your mistakes to prosper.

In this sermon, Pastor Andrey unfolds Jesus' teaching in John 10, where Christ declares Himself both the door of the sheep and the Good Shepherd.First, we see the need for a shepherd (vv. 1–10). Jesus contrasts Himself with false shepherds who climb in another way—those who neglect, misuse, or scatter God's people. Drawing from Ezekiel 34, Pastor Andrey shows how Jesus indicts the religious leaders of His day, while revealing Himself as the true Shepherd who calls His sheep by name and offers abundant life.Second, we see Jesus the Good Shepherd (vv. 11–18). Unlike hired hands, Jesus willingly lays down His life for the sheep. His care is comprehensive: He knows His own, secures them, and even gathers “other sheep” into one flock—Jews and Gentiles together. This is a love that not only rescues but also provides abundant life here and eternal life to come.Finally, we see a continuing confusion (vv. 19–21). Some accuse Jesus of being demon-possessed, while others marvel at His words and works. Pastor Andrey presses us to consider: do we hear the voice of the Shepherd? Do His words stir us toward worship, trust, and obedience?The sermon closes with a picture from Revelation 7, where the Lamb becomes our eternal Shepherd, wiping away every tear and leading His people to springs of living water. The abundant life Jesus offers is not just for today—it is forever.

Finding direction in life's journey often leaves us longing for clear signs and unmistakable guidance. But what if God's direction comes through everyday moments rather than dramatic supernatural events?In this powerful exploration of discerning God's will, we discover four key ways God guides us through life's complexities: open doors, closed doors, frustrated plans, and everyday choices. Drawing wisdom from the Apostle Paul's ministry journey, we see how even this spiritual giant navigated uncertainty with faith rather than perfect clarity.When God opens doors of opportunity, opposition often follows—proving that divine direction doesn't guarantee smooth paths. Sometimes God protects us through closed doors, saying "no" even when our intentions are pure. Our frustrated plans, those painful moments when everything falls apart, can actually draw us closer to God when we bring our honest frustrations to Him.Most profoundly, we learn that while we desperately want a complete map for our lives, God typically provides just enough light for the next step. "Your word is a lamp unto my feet," not a spotlight illuminating the entire journey ahead. This tension requires faith—trusting the Good Shepherd even when we can't see the full path.God's ultimate concern isn't about what we do but who we become. He weaves our successes, failures, and everyday choices into His redemptive story, working all things together for good as we learn to trust His loving guidance.Ready to discover God's direction in your ordinary moments? Take your next step of faith today, knowing the Shepherd's eyes are always on you.Support the showMade a decision to follow Jesus? We want to know about it!

What do you do when life feels stuck in the shadows?In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Clayton Bell reminds us that the Shepherd's presence is just as real in the valleys as it is in the green pastures. While we often celebrate God's blessings, it's in the darkest valleys that His rod and staff protect and comfort us. Sometimes the shadows come from our own choices. Other times, from brokenness in the world around us. Either way, the Shepherd doesn't abandon us—He walks with us.In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why God leads us to places of rest and refreshment- What it means to walk through—not get stuck in—the valley of shadows- How to recognize when God is guiding, protecting, or pulling us back on track- Why the presence of God changes our fear into courage- How to draw closer to the Shepherd when the shadows feel overwhelmingKey Scriptures:- Psalm 23:2–4 — “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me…”- Psalm 121:1–2 — “Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord…”- John 10:11 — “I am the good shepherd.

n John 10, Jesus' teaching hits on everything that matters for you and your spiritual life. That may sound like an overstatement, but understanding what Jesus says in these verses has the power to shape everything about you. Join us as we look at perhaps the most well-known image of our relationship with God — the Good Shepherd who came to give us life and life abundantly.

When faith feels like winter — cold, stripped back, and endless — where do we turn? In this message, Dan unpacks our need for the Good Shepherd who leads us not where we want to go, but where we need to go. He offers three practices for keeping hope alive at the Wall: moving learning from head to heart, praying with honesty and hope, and staying close to the flock.

Pastor Mike Polhemus teaches out of Psalm 23 on anxiety, finding contentment in Christ, and following the Good Shepherd. Afterwards, our church family breaks into discussion groups to discuss the message.

Sept. 7, 2025 - I am the gate, I am the good shepherd - Teacher James Johnson by Platt Park Church

September 7, 2025Today's Reading: Luke 14:25-35Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 4:38-5:8; Ephesians 6:1-24“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” (Luke 14:28)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Jesus gives examples of people who measured the cost of their goal and ultimately stepped away from it. A man would not build a tower if he could not pay for it. A king would not go to war if he knew he would lose. Neither man followed through. Jesus says anyone who does not hate his father and mother cannot be his disciple. At first glance, this is against what Jesus teaches at other times: “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but if we take it in the context of the later verses, what is Jesus saying? A man building a tower who runs out of money not even halfway through loses quite a lot: financial stability and his reputation. A king going to war against a stronger army loses even more: his kingdom and his life. What does a disciple of Jesus stand to lose? What is the cost of discipleship?The answer is everything.. Jesus says anyone who will not take up his own cross and follow Christ cannot be a disciple. Anyone who is not willing to leave family, fame, fortune, or anything else is not a faithful follower. By this word, we are convicted. In our sin, we cannot follow God's law perfectly. We are unable and unwilling. We cannot afford to be a disciple of Christ and gain eternal life. The cost is too high because the cost is total obedience to God, and we, fallen sinners, are not capable of such a thing. Immediately following this passage in Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the good shepherd, in which the shepherd leaves everything behind to find the lost sheep, risking his life—risking everything. This shepherd finds the lost sheep and returns to the fold, having successfully fulfilled his goal, unlike the men from before. The good shepherd decided the reward was worth whatever the cost may be. Of course, the good shepherd in the parable is our Good Shepherd, Christ Jesus. God measured the cost of reconciling humanity to Himself and saving us from sin, death, and the devil. He knew that it was a high price to pay: the death of His only Son. The Son took on human flesh, lived, suffered, and died because, though the cost was high, He was the only one Who could pay it. In His death and resurrection, Jesus paid the price for the redemption of the world. Rather than having to earn our place as His disciples, His children, He gives it freely to us, in the Word and Sacraments. The cost of discipleship is high, but it has been paid, and the benefits are yours.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O merciful Lord, You did not spare Your only Son but delivered Him up for us all. Grant us courage and strength to take up the cross and follow Him, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Deac.

Jesus as the Good Shepherd represents the ultimate example of true manliness, characterized by sacrificial love and strength. Far from being sentimental, shepherding was a demanding job requiring toughness, vigilance, and deep care. Jesus proves He is the Good Shepherd by willingly laying down His life for His sheep, knowing them intimately, and intentionally seeking those who are lost. This powerful love establishes a profound relationship between Jesus and His followers, creating one united flock under His leadership. Understanding Jesus as our Good Shepherd should inspire awe and gratitude while challenging us to model His sacrificial love in our own leadership roles.
