Jesus, our Good Shepherd, embodies unconditional love and care, meeting our every need, guiding us through life's trials, and restoring our souls with complete forgiveness. He loves us, His sheep, so much that He laid down His life so that we would be safe eternally. Parents are called to mirror this love by nurturing their children with care, guidance, and a commitment to their faith. May our Good Shepherd's boundless love give us comfort and encouragement every single day.Pastor Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on May 11, 2025.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR FAITH IS FAILING? FOLLOW THE GOOD SHEPHERD! FAITH AND FAILING TO FIND COMFORT Psalm 77:1-3 NLT 1 I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me! 2 When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord. All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven, (stretched out — poured out like water) but my soul was not comforted. 3 I think of God, and I moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help. DON'T GET FIXATED ON FEELINGS Psalm 77:4-9 NLT 4 You don't let me sleep. I am too distressed even to pray! 5 I think of the good old days, long since ended, 6 when my nights were filled with joyful songs. I search my soul and ponder the difference now. 7 Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me? 8 Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion? FIXATE ON FAITH Psalm 77:10-15 NLT 10 And I said, “This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.” (Is God's hand against us?) (Who is God's hand against?) 11 But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. 12 They are constantly in my thoughts (meditation). I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works (musing or talking). 13 O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you? 14 You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate (declare) your awesome power among the nations. 15 By your strong arm, you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. FOLLOW THE GOOD SHEPHERD Psalm 77:16-20 16 When the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea quaked to its very depths. 17 The clouds poured down rain; the thunder rumbled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed. 18 Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there! 20 You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds. ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE GOOD SHEPHERD? John 10:1-19 FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, HE WILL NEVER FAIL.

Genesis chapter 20 tells us that Abraham again made the same error in failing to trust God; whilst sojourning among the Philistines. Abraham is chastened by the Almighty and severely rebuked by Abimelech, the Philistine king; who in this incident showed greater integrity than did Abraham. Similarly to the Egyptian episode Abraham leaves the Philistine territory enriched and with much substance and a treaty between himself and the Philistines. Genesis 21 begins with a reminder that Isaac, meaning "laughter", was the Promised seed whose birth would bring great joy - as the type of the "seed of the woman", the Son of miraculous birth, the Son of God(Luke 1:68-80; 2:10-14). Yahweh has fulfilled His promised Word to Abraham and Sarah. And so as a token of the covenant between the Lord GOD and His people Isaac was circumcised at 8 days old. At the time of Isaac's weaning - possibly as old as 7 years of age - Abraham made a great feast for his son, Isaac. Ishmael mocked Isaac and most likely made derogatory comments about Isaac's supposed father (Abimelech king of the Philistines; cp the accusations made against our Lord and the ignominy the Lord's foes said of his begettal; John 8:33-42). This time the bondwoman and Ishmael were finally banished. Ishmael was a wild and uncontrollable man. Abraham started digging wells, which led to conflict with the Philistines - water being so vital a resource. Eventually Abraham made a covenant of peace with the Philistines. Note the prominence of the number seven; 7 being the number of the covenant.The 23rd Psalm is possibly the best known Psalm in the entire book of 150. It is known as the Shepherd Psalm. Many whole books have been written about this Psalm, in which David relates his experiences as a shepherd and applies the principles to his God's care for him now; and His guidance to bring us to His Kingdom. With Yahweh as our Shepherd we lack for nothing. Psalm 80 is another Psalm about Israel's great Shepherd and in providing food for His people it speaks of the provision of His Wonderful Son (John 10 teaches of the care of the Good Shepherd, who laid down his life for the sheep). David was, like Moses, a wonderful shepherd the LORD raised up to guide and pasture with spiritual food (Psalm 78:70-72). Isaiah 40 is another Scripture which tells of our Lord Jesus Christ's care for his flock (Isaiah 40:9-11). The two implements of the shepherd in guiding and protecting his sheep are his Rod and his staff. The life of Jacob tells of the privations the shepherd faced on a daily basis. And the possibility of dying whilst protecting his flock was an ever pressing concern (see David's comments to Saul in1 Samuel 17:34-37). So David says, "though he walk through the valley of the shadow of death" his God was his companion. He had throughout his life received the goodness and mercy of Yahweh (cp Exodus 34:6-7; and the lesson for us Romans 11:22-23). And ultimately the psalmist would find a place in his Sovereign's house in the kingdom of God on earth. Psalm 24 is a Psalm that will be sung by two choirs - the one asking and the other answering -  at the Lord Jesus Christ's crowning in his temple soon to be built in Jerusalem - "He is the King of Glory" as Handel commemorated in the oratorio Messiah (see also Psalm 2; andRevelation 19:15-16). Verses 3-6, like Psalm 15, describe the character and qualities of the citizens of Zion, who will be the companions of the King. The words of Psalm 24 will reverberate around the new Jerusalem as Christ Jesus enters his city. Psalm 25 is a plea to be taught and led in the ways of Yahweh. May this Psalm reflect the cry from our heart. But, for this to happen we must be meek, that is "teachable",. Read aloud verses 8-10,14 and meditate on what these words teach us. When we have learnt this way, as Moses had, we will be able to cope with our obstacles and opponents (see Psalm 103:7).

Psalm 23:1: “The Lord is my Shepherd” - a confession of personal faith & submission. He's my Shepherd, Owner, Lord, Leader (sheep belong to their shepherd; they submit, follow & trust him). Only believers humble themselves to be His sheep and admit they need, belong to & follow their Shepherd, trusting Him to provide. Since the Lord is my Shepherd: “I shall not want” (v1b), a summary of His provision of every blessing, unfolded in detail in the rest of Ps 23: "I'll not want for peace, protection, guidance, blessing etc. Also, a statement of contentment: “He's all I want.” “He makes me to lie down (settles me down) in green pastures” (v2a) - satisfied peace & rest. Shepherds rested their flocks at noon (Song 1:7). Sheep only lie down having had plenty to eat & drink, not threatened by wild animals or troubled by parasites or flies and if there's no friction among the sheep. Rest comes, for the shepherd has dealt with fear, friction, flies & famine. Christ brings us into soul-rest: “He leads (not drives) me beside the still (gentle) waters” (v2b). He plans my life, knows the best way & leads me in it – oriental shepherds go ahead & lead their sheep. They know his voice & follow him. Jesus the Prince of Peace can't give us peace apart from Himself, as He is Peace. So, if you go away from Him, you lose peace. Sheep can't drink from swift waters. He supplies us with grass to chew (His WORD) and gentle waters to drink (His SPIRIT). “He restores (lit: 'brings back') my soul” (v3a). Translations emphasise the reviving of the soul. The literal meaning includes something more important, the restoration of a soul by repentance (Gal 6:1). He brings my soul back to God, resulting in the restoring of life & peace. Thus, it speaks of the rescue of a lost sheep, who has gone astray, a vital part of a shepherd's work (Ezek 34:4-6,11-12), a picture of salvation (Isa 53:6). Lost souls are sheep without a shepherd, and Jesus came in compassion to gather His flock (Matt 9:36). This aspect of the Good Shepherd's ministry is emphasised in the NT (1Pet 2:25). The Parable of the Good Shepherd (Matt 18:11-13) reveals Christ, the Son of Man, is the Good Shepherd, with sacrificial love for each of His sheep. He claimed to be the Good Shepherd of Ps 23, who came from Heaven to seek & save His lost sheep, by bringing us back to Himself. Luke 15:4-7 adds detail: “When he has found it (the lost sheep), he lays it on his shoulders (salvation by grace) rejoicing" (v5). "Likewise, there will be more joy in Heaven over one SINNER who REPENTS” (v7). This proves it's a picture of salvation by Christ thru repentant faith. When a sheep knows it is lost, it's paralysed by fear & lies down, or gets caught in a bush or ditch. It's helpless to save itself. But the Shepherd loves him & seeks Him, calling out to him. When he hears His voice, he bleats (we call on His Name to save us), He lifts him up & carries him home. We repent from going our own way, call on the Shepherd and trust Him to save us, rather than running away. His rejoicing over 1 saved sheep reveals God's personal love for us. To save the sheep He had to go to where he was. So, to save us, God had to come to earth as a man. So, Ps 23 can only be fulfilled by God becoming a man in the person of Jesus to save us. Having restored me to Himself: “He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake (for His glory & reputation, displaying the glory of His grace)” (v3b). The Good Shepherd is our Leader & Guide. He plans the best route for the day. The sheep didn't need to know where to go; just to know where the Shepherd was and follow Him. The Lord leads us into abundance of life & provision. He leads us on the right path for our life. Trust Him, for He'll lead you well, in accordance with His good Name. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for YOU are with me" (v4a). At times it was necessary to go thru deep gorges in the shadows, vulnerable to robbers & predators, representing times of danger, when death casts a shadow over us, but if we're with Jesus, our Shepherd, we need not even fear death, for He defeated death for us. He'll be with us even thru death. v4 speaks of His Protection through His Presence with us both now & forever, for He'll never leave us. Note the change from HE to YOU. The sheep draws closer to Him in danger. He's now alongside us, rather than ahead. His Presence protects us from evil, removing our fear. Sheep don't last long on their own, our safety is in staying close to the Shepherd. “Your ROD and Your STAFF, they comfort me” (v4b). The Shepherd manifests His Presence and so comforts the sheep (1) by His ROD (a club with iron nails in its head, like a mace, used to strike His enemies, 1Sam 17:34-35), corresponding to His WORD. The STAFF was used on the sheep if it started to go the wrong way, to pull it to safety if it needed rescuing, and to count the sheep (Mic 7:14) – a symbol of His SPIRIT.

In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through this great psalm with the purpose of encouraging and strengthening our faith and confidence in the Lord our Great Shepherd.

Luke 1:46-56 - Mary's Salvation Joy

Thank you so much for your prayers for Luke and his surgery yesterday. The neurosurgeons said everything went well with the procedure. Luke came back to PICU very unhappy and in a lot of pain. But by the evening he was giving us smiles and doing a whole lot better. Now we need to pray that the infection will clear up quickly and they can repeat the surgery to replace everything to properly drain the fluid from around his brain. He will have to stay in PICU until this next surgery takes place. Again, thanks so much for your continued prayers!   We are talking about the rejoicing and joy that Luke is writing about in Luke 1:46-56. Elizabeth is rejoicing. Mary is singing her divine song of joy and rejoicing. And even John, six months after his conception in his mother's womb, is “leaping for joy” (v. 44) when Mary came into their house with the baby Jesus in her womb. I'm convinced despite our issues, our problems, our circumstances or situation, we can experience joy and rejoice if we focus on the Lord and His goodness to us!   Mary was singing this song of divine joy because her spirit was rejoicing. “My spirit has rejoiced” (v. 47). True joy begins in our spirit when we experience the presence of Jesus Christ in our heart and soul through the Holy Spirit. This is because, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16). Is the Holy Spirit bearing witness with your spirit right now?   Mary was singing this song of divine joy because she was focused on God Himself! "My spirit has rejoiced in God" (v. 47). Her faith was in the God of heaven who revealed Himself to her with His Good News! When we meet and know God personally it changes everything!   Next Mary was singing her song of divine joy because she had experience God's salvation. “My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior” (v. 47).  How near the heart of the virgin mother comes to her God in these words, "My Saviour." Mary was a good young lady, but she still was a sinner who needed a Savior. And she found Him in the Son of the Highest, begotten in her by the power of the Holy Ghost. Where and how else can we find Him? My Lord and my God. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith.   I couldn't help but think of these verses in Romans 5. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 1). We experience a peace and joy because we have a right standing before God in Jesus Christ. In verses 8 -11, Paul goes on to write and tell us: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” Have you ever experienced the joy of God's great salvation?   Mary's divine song was also one of Praiseful joy! And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord” (v. 46). Our joy of salvation may be considered a selfish joy, but the joy of adoration is God-glorifying. Hannah also knew this double joy. Joy in the salvation of the Lord, and joy in the Lord Himself (1 Sam. 2:1). King David proclaimed: “O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His Name together” (Psa. 34:3).   In John 1:29, when John the Baptist saw Jesus coming, he said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”  We see and meet Jesus first as our Savior. The next day, when John saw Jesus he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" (v. 36). After salvation we now worship Jesus for Who He is! Jesus must be our Savior before He can be our Shepherd (Psalm 23:1).   God bless!
