Podcasts about great shepherd

It is the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Great Shepherd and gathers in His lost sheep who have wandered away from the sheepfold.

Pastor Mike introduces Psalm 23 as a source of comfort for the living rather than a text for the dead, offering three keys to view the scripture in "Technicolor”. These keys include identifying the theological center as God's presence ("for you are with me"), placing the chapter canonically as the Great Shepherd's present care between the cross of Psalm 22 and the crown of Psalm 24, and recognizing the text contains no commands, serving strictly as a resting place of privilege and gospel provision.

This episode is the fourth teaching in our series “The Church Imagined” and it challenges us to further understand our identity as the church through one of Scripture's most enduring images: The Flock of God. Psalm 23 and John 10 (along with many other passages of scripture) make it clear that we are the sheep, and Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Like real sheep, we are created to live in dependence, relationship, and community, not self-sufficiency.The message centers on three relationships shaped by this identity:Our relationship with God. Jesus, our Great Shepherd, calls, leads, feeds, and protects His sheep to the point of laying down His life for us. Our role in the relationship is to listen to and follow His voice, learning to hear Him through Scripture, submission, and steadfastness.Our relationship with one another. Sheep are not meant to live alone. Scripture reminds us that isolation brings vulnerability, while life in the flock brings strength and growth (Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:42). God also appoints leaders as undershepherds to care for His people under the authority of Christ, the Great Shepherd.Our relationship with the world. Jesus warns that as sheep, we live among predators. Spiritual and human threats are real, but we are not called to respond like wolves. Instead, we stay true to our identity as sheep and in doing so remain alert, united, and prayerful, faithfully trusting in our Shepherd's care.As the Church, we are the flock of God, the sheep of His pasture. When we embrace this identity, we learn how to walk closely with God, care deeply for one another, and live wisely in the world.

In this episode of The Follow Up, the pastors dive deeper into John 10:22–42 and Jesus' declaration as the Good Shepherd during the Feast of Dedication.The discussion explores why Jesus' words challenged expectations of a political Messiah and instead revealed a spiritual Shepherd who knows His sheep and holds them securely. You'll hear thoughtful reflections on assurance of salvation, the difference between doubt and disbelief, and why following Jesus is rooted in what He has done, not what we maintain through effort.The conversation also addresses difficult passages like Psalm 82, the danger of transactional faith, and practical ways believers can learn to recognize the Shepherd's voice through Scripture, prayer, and community.Subscribe, share, and join us each week as we continue going deeper into the Gospel of John and what it means to faithfully follow Jesus.

Christians today struggle with the inclination to drift away from what they believe and why they believe it. The main message of Hebrews brings us back to God's truth—that Jesus, the eternal son of God, is supreme and sufficient. And that understanding can help us stay securely moored to Him and His Word.This is the 9th message in Jill Briscoe's 9-message series “Drifting Away,” in which she explores practical ways we can endure and persevere in our faith, while deepening our relationship with Jesus.

Jesus shows the heart of God, His heart for the lost, and His heart for the people to know God.

God's people are encouraged to remain faithful and obedient to God through ordinary means: shared mission, gathered worship, and faithful shepherding, all of which point them to Jesus, their risen Savior and Great Shepherd. Speaker: Barry Usher

The Shepherd's Path: From Pasture to Promise Throughout Scripture, the shepherd emerges as far more than a keeper of flocks. This humble vocation becomes the training ground for those whom Yahweh calls to lead His people. From Abel's righteous offering to David's anointing, from Moses' wilderness preparation to Joseph's rejection and redemption, each shepherd-leader reveals a pattern pointing toward ultimate fulfillment. The role demands intimate knowledge of each sheep's needs while cultivating deep communion with Elohim during solitary hours of watchfulness. When Yahweh declares Himself Israel's Shepherd in Psalm 23 and Ezekiel 34, He establishes the divine standard: personal care, justice, healing, and relentless pursuit of the lost. Yeshua embodies this revelation completely. As the Good Shepherd, He knows His sheep by name, willingly lays down His life, and conquers death to secure our eternal future. His mission fulfills every prophetic shadow, transforming from Shepherd to sacrificial Lamb, then rising as the Great Shepherd who commissions us to tend His flock. This messianic pattern calls us into the same shepherding heart. We who follow Yeshua become under-shepherds, caring for the vulnerable and seeking the wandering until that day when He gathers all into one flock under one Shepherd, where we dwell safely in His presence forever.   Watch on YouTube here:   https://youtu.be/3ot2lYJs5cg Watch on Vimeo Here: www.vimeo.com/ruach   Have you read the Parsha yet?

Jesus Christ has ascended into heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of God as our Great High Priest and Mediator. As we go through this journey of life, we can also celebrate every day that Jesus Christ is our Shepherd.Imagine being sentenced to appear in court and stand before a judge for violations that you know that you have committed and are without a doubt guilty as charged with no hope of an appeal or being spared imprisonment. That is about as hopeless of a situation that anyone can be in. Scripture tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). There is none righteous, no not one (Rom 3:10). Hopeless. But praise be unto God, My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:1,2). Thus, because of the grace of God, we have a High Priest and Mediator in heaven, Jesus Christ, Who declares to God The Judge the verdict NOT GUILTY to those who repent of their sin and trust in Him for their salvation. That is something to CELEBRATE.For the follower of Jesus, heaven is our home, and earth is our temporary mission field. The Bible calls the people of God, sheep. Life on earth for all sheep is filled with strange twists and turns, trials, temptations, seasons of joy and gladness, and times of uncertainty. Thankfully, we can CELEBRATE the fact that in our journey here on earth, we have a Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ, Who is always there to lead us, guide us and comfort us in times of sorrow and pain. We trust that singing about and studying some of the various aspects of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ will inspire you to CELEBRATE Him, not just for a season, but for all eternity!

Peter Mahaffey - The Great Shepherd (John Newton's Sermon) - Isaiah 50:11 | Sunday December 14 2025 by Royal York Baptist Church

On this episode, Paul White talks about Jesus as the Great Shepherd. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 13:20-21. 

Tap here to send us a message!The Song of Solomon tells of a young woman torn between the love of a shepherd and the riches of a king. This same struggle plays out in our own hearts as we choose between devotion to God or the attraction of the world. When we truly understand the depth of the Great Shepherd's love, our response will be to love and serve Him with all that we are.11/09/2025 - Sunday AfternoonScriptures:Song of Solomon 6:8Song of Solomon 5:7-9James 1:14-15Song of Solomon 7:10Song of Solomon 8:6-7

This is, as one pastor put it, a psalm for a no-good, terrible, very bad day. It is a message for a distressed 'sheep'. May we find comfort and rest in the shadow of our Great Shepherd who is with us in the valley, leading us to a glorious Kingdom, where we get to enjoy Him forever. #Psalms #Psalm23 #shepherd #darkvalley #valleyofdeath #sermon #OldTestament #podcast #Biblestudy

Hebrews 13:18-25

If you are a pastor-preacher, and your heart is where it should be, then this short sermon is likely to resonate with you. However, it may be that, if you are not a pastor, you have rarely or even never thought about the way in which an under-shepherd of Christ's flock considers the sheep entrusted to his care by the Great Shepherd. This short sermon expresses the deep concern and abiding affection which a true pastor has for the people to whom he preaches and over whom he watches. Spurgeon describes is as the pastor's life being “wrapped up with his people's faithfulness.” There is nothing that more grieves him than a departure from the way of truth, there is nothing that more delights him than to see the saints standing fast. He looks at all sides of this experience—those who are not in the Lord at all, those who appear to be in the Lord but are not standing fast, and those who are in the Lord and standing fast, who bring deep joy to an overseer's heart. This sermon will help you, on the one hand, to consider your own heart; on the other, it might give you a glimpse into the heart of your pastors, and help you to appreciate and to pray for them.

When the Word is written, uncertainty becomes unnecessary. In this powerful message, Covenant Keepers: A Life Worth Honoring, Pastor Jimmy Miller delivers an unfiltered Word from Ezekiel 34 about what it truly means to be a shepherd after God's own heart. Through Scripture and heartfelt stories—from baptisms to blessings—you'll discover how true leaders protect, guide, and feed the flock while pointing every believer back to the Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ.Whether you've been wandering or weary, this message will refresh your faith, remind you of God's covenant promises, and help you recognize the difference between hired hands and real shepherds who lead with love and integrity.

Psalm 23 - Worship our Great Shepherd Guest Preacher - Ben Spector from South Hill Baptist Church

1 Chronicles 24 deals with the division of the 24 orders of priests arranged by Samuel and David. Chapter 25 deals with the orders of the singers and musicians for the temple choirs. Why were the musicians and singers so arranged? It is because divine worship is sacred and not haphazard. It is related to the "worshiping of Yahweh in the beauty of holiness" Psalm 96:8. There were 24 appointed divisions of the singers and this surely takes us to the 24 elders who praised the LORD's appointed king Messiah i.e. our Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation 4 verse 8-11; 5 verses 8-14. Heman and Jeduthan were the chief arrangers of the choirs and the musicians. Asaph was the one who oversaw the process and who also wrote several magnificent Psalms. Asaph's legacy to the nation lasted 450 years. Ezekiel 34 tells of the disgraceful behaviour of the cruel and greedy shepherds of Israel. The primary sin of those shepherds was selfishness: they looked after themselves and not God's flock. It was true in the days of the prophet. Even more true at the time of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yahweh would not tolerate the treatment of His sheep by these corrupt and profligate leaders. God would care for them. Israel's Sovereign will provide for them and seek out pasture for His people. And by His Son the Almighty would restore and feed them. The Lord Jesus Christ in John 10 is the Good Shepherd; in 1 Peter 5 he is the Chief Shepherd; and in Hebrews 13 he is the Great Shepherd. According to Acts 28 Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome (AD62-64). During this time Philippians, and Philemon were written. Acts 16 provides the background to the gospel arriving in Philippi., where his preaching awaits "hearts opened by God" in Lydia and the Philippian jailor and others. Philippians is called Paul's letter of joy and its theme is, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice." In chapter 1 of the letter the Apostle describes his constant thanksgiving for the love of the believers in that city. Philippi was a colony which was heavily Roman in every way. Paul tells the believers in Christ in that city of the advance of the gospel in Rome and that even members of the Praetorian guard had become faithful believers. Unfortunately, not all 'brethren' were happy - there was a group of false believers (known as Judaizers) whose motives for preaching were to see Paul persecuted. Paul, indeed, would have been happy to die for the faith, nonetheless he felt that by continuing to live he would be of greater benefit to the believers. In chapter 2 we have wonderful exhortations of Christ's mindset, as always being to honour and exalt his Father and for the benefit of others. Let that, said Paul, be the attitude of every faithful saint. As God's Son our Lord had a status higher than anyone yet he suffered as a servant in his death on the cross. Christ is now exalted at the Father's right hand and having his Father's name the of Yahweh Himself (Isaiah 45): compare with Revelation 14 verses 1-5. Believers bear the responsibility of shining as lights to this twisted world. The Apostle shows that Timothy and Epaphroditus both demonstrate Christ-like love for the believers in Philippi. The two faithful and indefatigable labourers own lives were put behind them in the course of their own efforts to advance the gospel.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Acts 20 makes it clear that good shepherds give, and we live that out by HUMBLY preaching what's HELPFUL, giving TRANSPARENT TESTIMONY, and DEFENDING God's people from DANGER. We also PREACH the whole counsel of God, PAY attention to ourselves and the church, and PROTECT the flock against wolves. We can all do this when we make LESS of ourselves and MORE of the Gospel to build up the flock of Christ that HE BOUGHT with His own blood. Good shepherds give because our Great Shepherd gave.

A Study of Hebrews 13:21

The response of our Great Shepherd to a lost sheep is to lift you up and put you on His shoulders.  The sheep receives the closeness, comfort, peace and strength of the Great Shepherd.

Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost - He is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep who seeks out His own.

In this sermon on Hebrews 13:1–21, Pastor Benjamin Kandt explores how unshakeable faith takes root in everyday life. As the letter to the Hebrews draws to a close, the author turns from theological depth to practical exhortation — calling the church to live with love, hospitality, sexual integrity, contentment, and respect for spiritual leaders. Pastor Benjamin unpacks how these ordinary, often overlooked practices are actually extraordinary when grounded in Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.”The sermon culminates in the majestic benediction of verses 20–21, where God is revealed as the One who equips His people through the risen Christ, our Great Shepherd. Pastor Benjamin reminds us that the Christian life is not lived in our own strength, but in the power of God's grace, enabling us to do His will. This message invites us to embody our theology in community — living out gospel truth in love, sacrifice, and faithful obedience.
