THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL COVERING 1 THESSALONIANS 5:12; HEBREWS 13:5, 17; 1 PETER 5:2-4 SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 è The Principle Of Spiritual Covering • Seen in Old Testament: Priests, Prophets, Kings (*Priests – Joshua 3, Numbers 6) • Seen in New Testament: Apostles, Shepherds, Overseers (Acts 20:28; 1 Thessalonians 5:12 (“Over you in the Lord”: **If Jesus Christ our Lord is the Great Shepherd (and we are His sheep), then He has an “assistant shepherd (shepherds) for each of us! è The Lord Has Called Out Shepherds …. FOR YOU!! • Be selective, Discerning! (John 10) (lead, feed, protect) • Hebrews 13:17 • 1 Peter 5:2-4 – Serves, not celebrity! • James 3:1 – stricter judgement è Dangers of No Spiritual Covering • More easily deceived, and don't see it! (Hebrews 3; 1 Peter 5) • Become isolated and more attractive to the enemy, the devil (1 Peter 5:6,7) • Negligence, drift, losses increase! • Peace, perspective, relationships, resources suffer ** Someone (or someone's) who has been given responsibility of serving the Lord and his people through “watching over, ministering to, and interceding for another! (Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 5:2-4) NEXT …. è Benefits of Right Spiritual Covering: • Direction • Warfare reinforcement • Blessing, affirmation, encouragement • Resources Support è Discerning the RIGHT SPIRITUAL COVERING (Remember, people are NOT perfect! But God honors the position) • Identify and Invest! • Shepherd and “spiritual” DNA

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Opre — filmmaker, storyteller, and founder of the ⁠Shepherds of Wildlife Society⁠, a nonprofit dedicated to reconnecting people and wildlife through powerful documentary films.Tom has spent his career behind the camera, capturing stories of rural areas and the people who call them home. Over the years, he's witnessed a growing disconnect between rural communities and urban audiences when it comes to conservation. His belief is simple but bold: protecting land and wildlife isn't just about “rewilding” — it's about humans actively managing resources and preserving centuries-old livelihoods so future generations can thrive.A Different Kind of StorytellingThrough the Shepherds of Wildlife Society, Tom is on a mission to tell those stories and spark honest conversations about what conservation really means.To bring this vision to life, Tom has directed three amazing, critically-acclaimed documentaries:⁠Killing the Shepherd⁠An award-winning film following a small African village led by a woman chief fighting back against poaching and poverty. Screened at global festivals and even the U.S. Capitol, the film has sparked real conversations about conservation and social justice.⁠The Last Keeper⁠Set in the Scottish Highlands, this documentary dives into how modern government policies are displacing long-standing rural communities and threatening the Scottish landscape.⁠The Real Yellowstone⁠Tom's newest project tells the story of the American West's ranchers, outfitters, and conservationists caught at the crossroads of tradition and modern land pressures. It's the raw, real-life version of what Taylor Sheridan dramatized in Yellowstone — as Tom says, “this is real life.”Here's the exciting part: The Real Yellowstone is hosting an ⁠exclusive digital streaming event⁠. This event will vanish after September 15th. No replays. No second chance. Don't miss the chance to see it!Tom and I went so deep in our conversation that this is a two-part special:Part 1 (last episode): We explore Killing the Shepherd and The Last Keeper — covering everything from rural Africa's fight for survival to Scotland's historic tensions between landowners and city dwellers.Part 2 (this episode): We dive into The Real Yellowstone and talk about the sacrifices of progress, the rancher's way of life, and why these stories matter for the future of both land and wildlife.If you love filmmaking, history, conservation, or just real-world stories with real stakes — you'll want to hear this one.

God has been highlighting John chapter 10 to this house for some time. There's a deeper understanding to the revelation in this chapter that many are unaware of. Pastor Josiah takes us deeper into the meaning of the chapter and particularly what the Lord is saying through John 10:10 concerning healthy shepherds. Wherever God sends you, find healthy shepherds that carry these qualities. Don't just find people who lead churches, find healthy shepherds.

When he is not belting out Frank Sinatra tunes on stage around the concert halls of Australia, Tom Burlinson is being stopped on the street by Aussies who remember him fondly as The Man from Snowy River, a movie role that changed his life. Tom shares his behind the scenes memories of an amazing time for him and for Australian cinema. He talks music, coffee, his role in the family kitchen and his latest acting role in a locallly made horror flick. The Food Poll is a four and plenty pie off. Leading this swinging quartet of pastry bound delights is apple pie, chicken and leek pie, Shepherds pie and pumpkin pie. What wins the day? And thanks to this week's Food Poll, 'It's Showtime' for Frank (Lesiputty, not Sinatra), who shares his rendition of one of the classics (pies, not songs!)

What does a healthy church look like? Acts 6 gives us some blueprint. This week, Pastor David unpacks how disciples, deacons, and shepherds serve different roles but share one mission, so the Word increases, disciples multiply, and Jesus is exalted

Send us a textGUEST: MATT MACARTHUR, eldest son of Pastor John MacArthurThere are several common terms for the ceremony that takes place after death—funeral, celebration of life, memorial service. You can tell a lot about the deceased by the manner and mood of their service. Some are focused on how accomplished and full of good works the person was. Others are about happy memories and photos. Still others are like a dirge, full of grief over the loss.The Bible says, “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep [dead], so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).To be sure, there should be grief over the loss of a loved one, for we will never see or speak to that person again in this life. Jesus Himself wept when seeing the family and friends of Lazarus lament over his death, not because they wouldn't see him again (He was about to raise him from the grave) but because death is the ultimate enemy and reality of our sin-corrupted world.But the passage above says believers shouldn't “grieve as do the rest who have no hope” because of the promise that God will bring true believers into His presence in heaven to live for eternity, where there is no sin, pain, or death.This is why for the believer the service following death should largely focus on the greatness of God and how He brings the believer into an infinitely better eternity. Instead of a memorializing or celebrating this life, it really should be a worship service of God for this life, and even more, the next.I attended the memorial service for pastor John MacArthur this past weekend at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, MacArthur went to heaven back on July 14 at age 86 after nearly three years of health problems.Outside my parents, MacArthur has had the most important influence on my life, through his preaching and character. So my older brother and I traveled to the church, as we have done many times over the years for the Shepherds' Conference, an annual convergence for men in ministry. Only this time, we wouldn't be hearing MacArthur preach. We would be hearing others praise God for the grace and gifting he showered on MacArthur's life and the eternal reward he is now receiving.Scripture was read by MacArthur recorded from a past sermon. John Piper offered a personal reflection. Alistair Begg prayed. Joni Eareckson Tada sang and spoke. MacArthur's two sons, Matt and Mark, offered personal perspectives. Sinclair Ferguson preached. Christ-exalting hymns were sung by the Gettys, soloists, choir, and congregation. It was two hours and forty-five minutes of worshiping God for the good work He did in the life and ministry of John MacArthur.MacArthur's eldest son Matt joins us today on the program. Matt and his wife have been married for 40 years and are the parents of three adult children and grandparents of seven. He works in the investment management business and also serves as the president of Grace to You. Matt will offer unique insight into his dad and what the family was aiming to accomplish in the service.---------------------------------Watch John MacArthur's Memorial ServiceJohn MacArthur biography by Iain Murray

The Christ child is visited by shepherds, and a man of God named Simeon who prophesied that He would be the light of the world. This story is inspired by Matthew 1:18-25 & Luke 2:1-39. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 2:7 from the King James Version.Episode 173: Joseph and Mary were on their way to Bethlehem, for the census. But when they got there the city was crowded and they had great trouble finding a place to stay. Finally settling in a stable, Mary gave birth to Jesus, and just as Jesus came to this Earth, God's messengers proclaimed His glory and mission to the shepherds in a nearby field. At once they hurried to find the Messiah and gazed upon him. Eight days later God fulfilled His promise to Simeon, as Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to present the baby Jesus to God.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Shepherds' Camp Night | Apostle Moses Mukisa

We are in a cultural war—and it's being fought in our music, our ministries, and even our wildlife. On this episode, Shemane sits down with truth-tellers who refuse to bow down to political correctness, weak faith, or failed policies. From chart-topping anthems to bold ministry calls and global conservation—this week is all about courage in action. [00:39] What Would Charlie Daniels Do?Shemane is joined by her husband Ted Nugent and country star Ira Dean to celebrate their hit single What Would Charlie Daniels Do? Ira shares the real-life road rage moment that sparked the song, how Charlie Daniels once prayed him toward sobriety, and why Ted was the natural fit for the track. Ted recalls Charlie's uncompromising stance for God, family, and country, and together they explain why the song struck such a nerve—shooting to #1 across genres and racking up millions of views. [24:36] Leaving Comfort to Answer the CallFormer police officer and veteran Shane Winnings tells how a radical encounter with God led him to leave a stable career and step into full-time ministry. He unpacks the reality of spiritual warfare, why so many pastors avoid teaching discernment, and how every believer can recognize the battles happening around them. From praying with President Trump to launching Promise Keepers' men's movement, Shane challenges Christians to leave comfort behind and live boldly for Christ in America's mission field. [37:06] Hunters, Conservation & Human DignityAward-winning filmmaker Tom Opre, founder of Shepherds of Wildlife Society, explains why hunters are some of the world's fiercest conservationists. He details how license fees and excise taxes fund wildlife science, why rural voices matter in policy, and the dangers of well-meaning but destructive bans. From Montana grizzly country to Zambia's subsistence farms, Tom shares powerful stories—including the heartbreaking reality of child brides in Africa when wildlife loses its value. His mission: protect creation, uphold human dignity, and steward God's resources wisely.

Fr. Mike explains the beautiful connections between all of our readings today. He emphasizes how good shepherds are willing to face the truth, and also sacrifice for their sheep, like Jesus who laid down his life for us. In our reading of Jeremiah, Fr. Mike also explains that the experience of shame points to the reality that there is something good within us that ought not to be violated. Today we read Jeremiah 6, Ezekiel 34-35, and Proverbs 14:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

A Wise and Faithful Woman with Nancy Goring A Bible podcast for ladies Ep470 - The Shepherds Life

A sermon calling us to imitate the Master in his desire to see people enter a relationship with him and his Father.

In this relatable devotional inspired by Psalm 23:1, we're reminded that God is our shepherd—even in everyday frustrations like broken lawnmowers and unexpected expenses. When everything felt like it was falling apart, this family discovered how God provides in unexpected ways, using others to show His faithfulness. Whether you're facing financial stress, emotional weariness, or simply trying to make ends meet, this story encourages us to trust God to provide exactly what we need—right on time. ✨ Highlights: Psalm 23:1 meaning – “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” God provides, even when the need feels small. Faith in hard times – God showed up through the kindness and integrity of others. God provides in unexpected ways – A broken mower became a reminder of His perfect timing and provision. Trusting God to provide – This story is a powerful example of relying on Him, even in the little things. Rest matters to God – Our physical and emotional needs are never overlooked by our Shepherd.

Pastoral ministry is not about filling empty seats but about seeing souls conformed to Christ. In this fourth sermon from our Summer Series, Pastor John MacArthur opens Galatians and exhorts pastors to embrace the sacred agony of shepherding their people toward holiness.

Pastor James Crawford, overseeing Godspeak's young adults ministry, preaches from Jeremiah 23, addressing the responsibility of shepherds—pastors, parents, and leaders—to guide with grace and truth. Reflecting on his impending fatherhood and the cultural trend of “cowboy” identity, he contrasts the failure of Judah's unfaithful shepherds with Christ's redemptive leadership, as seen in John 8:1–11. Pastor James calls believers to model Jesus, the Good Shepherd, by rejecting bitterness, embracing forgiveness, and leading authentically to build faithful homes and churches. He emphasizes God's promise of a righteous Shepherd-King, urging the congregation to leave past baggage behind and pursue a legacy of obedience and restoration.Verse References: Jeremiah 23 verses 1–6, John 8 verses 1–11, Jeremiah 31 verses 31–33, Jeremiah 21 verse 5, Jeremiah 21 verse 12, 2 Chronicles 34 verses 1–33Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
