Shepherds and Sheep- Parts 1 & 2

Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) | Categories: Commitment, Trust, Membership, Ezekiel, John

Several times throughout the New Testament God uses the metaphor of Shepherds and Sheep to describe His people and those who lead, feed, and care for them. But this imagery of God's people as sheep and those who lead them as shepherds is not 'new' in the New Testament. Several Old Testament prophets, speaking by the inspiration of course, used the same metaphor(s). This lesson, in two parts, looks at one such instance from Ezekiel 34. From this great text, it is hoped that we can learn lessons from the past that will benefit both God's Shepherds and Sheep today.

About the Church of Christ

The Southside Church of Christ family is a group of people who are striving to learn, understand, and live what God's Word teaches. We want to be New Testament Christians- nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

We call ourselves a "Church of Christ" for several reasons:

We seek to be the Church according to His teaching, therefore we belong to Him;
It is a scriptural name by which saints in the New Testament were called [Romans 16:16]; and,
It hopefully identifies us to others as people who are trying to be the non-denominational Church which Jesus Christ purchased with his blood [Acts 20:28].
