What if God is shaping your crown in the shadows?This week, Pastor Jacob Whitehead from Crosspoint City Church unpacks how David was crowned king—but still carried the heart of a shepherd. From the pastures to the palace, David's story reminds us that God exalts those who are faithful in the quiet places. In this message, we explore how true leadership is rooted in humility, service, and surrender—and how David's kingship ultimately points to Jesus, our Shepherd King who rules with grace.We hope that you enjoy this series!

Stephen and Mark dive back into the Kingdom of Blunder for the second installment of the Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig. In this installment, all stories will be concluded. The mystery of the poem revealed, and a world will be changed for good or ill. We loved this series, and it's only appropriate that we try a bottle from a label we have nothing but love for as well. In this episode we sample The Kiawah Blend from 2XO by Dixon Dedman. Rachel Gillig, Author Limited Edition Whiskey Blends | 2XO Whiskey
Shepherd King, Adam Kohlstrom by CSBC
May 11, Easter 4, Good Shepherd Sunday: Num 27:12-23; Ps 100; Rev 7:9-17; John 10:22-30 (Fr. Ryan O'Dowd, preaching)
Imagine the excitement and emotions of those who saw Jesus after He had risen. The Hero and the hope that he offers are not dead! Jesus truly was different from any other influential leader anyone could place their trust or faith in. He had defeated death and was alive! Was that all that made Him different, though? The answer is a resounding NO! While others would use this kind of power and influence to control and manipulate, Jesus chose to serve rather than be served! His heart of compassion was shown in His desire to be a Shepherd King rather than a tyrant ruler. Join us the Sunday at Damascus Road as we finish our Easter series and discover the Jesus who chose to rule as a different kind of Hero, a shepherd filled with compassion!
In Matthew 10:1–8, Jesus sends out the twelve apostles on a mission that foreshadows the Great Commission. This sermon unpacks how Christ is reconstituting the people of God around Himself and calling His followers to proclaim the Kingdom with compassion, courage, and a cross-bearing faith — not for earthly gain, but for His glory.
Jesus' teaching on a coming judgement culminates with a picture of the throne room of God, with Jesus on the throne. As the Shepherd King, Jesus separates the sheep and the goats, pointing to a distinguising feature between the two.
Ezekiel 34:1–16 (Listen) Prophecy Against the Shepherds of Israel 34:1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord GOD: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. 4 The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. 5 So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and they became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; 6 they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. 7 “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: 8 As I live, declares the Lord GOD, surely because my sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd, and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: 10 Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand and put a stop to their feeding the sheep. No longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them. The Lord God Will Seek Them Out 11 “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy.1 I will feed them in justice. Footnotes [1] 34:16 Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate I will watch over (ESV)Ezekiel 34:23–24 (Listen) 23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the LORD; I have spoken. (ESV)
14 l The Abused Shepherd-King l Mark 14:27-50 l 4-6-25
At last all of Israel recognizes David as their king whom God has appointed to be their shepherd. Once more, David is anointed as king, and we learn that his combined reign in Hebron and Jerusalem was a complete forty years. Although the Jebusites mock David's ability to take their city, the LORD grants David success and gives to him Jerusalem. There, Hiram the king of Tyre builds David a palace for David's growing family and court. The LORD further gives David success on the battlefield against the Philistines. David continues to inquire of the LORD for military strategy, and the LORD continues to fight for David and defeat His enemies. Throughout this chapter, both David's successes and sins point toward Jesus as the true Good Shepherd and King for all people. Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions and Director of the Christ Academy Program at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 5:1-25. "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
We are fortunate to have both Old Testament & New Testament examples of the "Shepherd King" metaphor for instruction in leading God's people. However the New Testamanet spells out what qualifications the pastor/elder of God's local church should possess to be suited for the job. This is helpful, because it cuts the number of candidates -- to properly represent the actual “small” percentage of those who are truly gifted / called for the responsibility. Yet Proverbs 27 gives us some very practical application from its WISDOM on how those in the oversight of God's people should interact with their local church congregation.

The prophets give us a message and themselves as messengers to teach the church about its role in confronting the nations in a prophetic way with the gospel. Amos preaches about the Day of the Lord, a day of gloom and darkness for Israel, but a day of hope for the Gentiles. Hosea preaches about a faithful husband and father who adopts children who were once not his own and gives them mercy. And Micah tells us of the Shepherd King to be born in Bethlehem who would pardon the sins of all those who feared him. And in all of these books the judgment of the Jews brings about a hope for the Gentiles.

In Jeremiah 23:1-8, God makes promises that reveal His love for His people. Despite Israel's apostasy and the failure of their kings, God promises to provide a shepherd king from David's line who will care for and rule over His people in the land. This shepherd king is none other than Jesus Christ, the righteous branch, who fulfills these prophecies. He is the Lord our righteousness, who secures salvation for all who trust in Him by His perfect life and death. The birth of Christ is the provision of God's love - a Savior, Shepherd, and King. ★ Support this podcast ★
This message is from our "Micah" series. Corrupt politicians. False prophets. Weak church leaders. These were major problems during Micah's day, which resulted in idolatry, religious ritualism, and social injustice in both Israel and Judah. Through Micah, God brings a lawsuit against the people, declaring both his righteous judgment and future salvation. Crosspoint City is one church in multiple locations and we exist to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Jesus came as a shepherd by caring for the lost, guiding and teaching his followers, protecting, anddefending them, sacrificing himself for their sake, and ultimately rising from the dead to secure eternal life for all who believe in him. He embodies the qualities of the Good Shepherd who loves, leads, and lays down his life for his sheep. This was the prophet announcement – that one day, a true Messiah would come and shepherd His people.
