The Shepherd in the Shadows

(Hebrews 13:20-21) In our last study in this series we look at the last 3 references to our Shepherd. In Hebrews and Peter, we find Him resurrected, restoring, and returning. What a blessing to know Him! If you have never made the Good Shepherd your Shepherd, trust Him today! (06186220805) 

(John 10:1-16) Have you experienced Christ as your Shepherd? If you know the Lord Jesus, He is your Shepherd. He cares for you individually. There is a thief who is seeking to destroy you. Today, we find out who it is and what Jesus does to protect us from him. (06185220804) 

(Matthew 9:35-38; 18:11-14) In this episode, we move from the Shepherd of Psalm 23 to see Jesus, the New Testament fulfillment of the truth we find in the Old Testament. Today, Scott Pauley shares several simple, yet powerful truths about the Good Shepherd’s heart which are applicable to us, His sheep. Each of us must ask God to form in us the heart of Jesus.

(Psalm 23:1-6) Standing somewhere in the shadows, you'll find our ever-present Shepherd! We must never forget that, where there are shadows, there is light. Our journey does not end in shadows, our journey ends in the light—the perfect light of our eternal God. He is our light in the shadows! (06183220802)

(Psalm 23:1-6) The twenty-third Psalm is the Psalm of Jehovah! The names of God in Scripture are a revelation of Who He is—His character. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. As we journey through this Psalm, the beautiful attributes of the Lord Jehovah reveal more of our blessed Lord Jesus, Who is the very perfection of all these attributes. (06182220801)

(Psalm 23:6b) Destination. Location. Duration. They are all found in Psalm 23:6. In this life we travel over mountaintops and through valleys with our Shepherd, but we have an ultimate destination! One day our wandering, worrying, fretting, and failing will all be over, and we will dwell in the physical presence of the Lord for an eternal day! (06180220729)

(Psalm 23:6a) Our Good Shepherd has a couple of sheep dogs! When the sheep are in need or have experienced failure, God’s “sheep dogs” are always there to assist. He even gives us their names! Today’s broadcast will also remind us that God’s blessings are meant to be shared, not just kept to ourselves. (06179220728)

(Psalm 23:5b) We see a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit in Psalm 23. The Shepherd indeed uses a rod and staff, but He also anoints His sheep with healing oil. God’s Holy Spirit is already at work in the believer. We don’t have to ask for it, rather we should acknowledge it! We’ll soon discover that our cup truly “runneth over.” (06178220727)

(Psalm 23:5a) It’s almost humorous to imagine Jesus spreading out a table covering and putting all kinds of good things to eat on it while the enemy’s arrows are flying overhead and there is warfare all around. Yet, He prepares a table for, us even in the presence of our enemies, because He desires to fellowship with us and provide for us! (06177220726) 

(Psalm 23:4b) Today we discuss the shepherd’s rod and staff. They have different purposes yet are used together. The Word of God and the work of the Spirit are the rod and staff of our Shepherd. Let’s explore how He uses them in our lives, especially when dealing with danger. (06176220725)
