The Shepherd's Church

Each week at The Shepherd’s Church, we preach short homilies on the law of God and have decided to share those here as a resource to the people of God. This week, the command not to covet.

In this concluding sermon on Christian education, we see that the goal of education is not merely informed children, successful careers, or respectable households, but a fully discipled world under the reign of Christ. From Proverbs, we consider how God begins this world-shaping work in the covenant home, through fathers and mothers building together, forming children in wisdom, leaving a faithful...

In this sermon we explore what the book of Proverbs has to say about disciplining a child so that they might be wise and not grow foolish. We begin with the foundational text that reveal to us the kind of nature our children are born with, and then we show the biblical love a parents ought to exercise when seeking to correct their children for the glory of God.

This sermon highlights the properly ordered affections the early Christians had that gave them the testimony that the world was at threat of being turned upside down. We learn here that in Christ alone we can be be grounded men with chest that stand at the door defending our families, churches and society against feminisms ugly agenda to demonize all things godly. The applications outlined in toda...

In this sermon, we turn from the theory of Christian education to the practice of Christian formation, asking how wisdom actually moves from one generation to the next. Proverbs teaches us that wisdom is caught before it is taught, transmitted through imitation, forged through faithful friction, directed through deliberate training, and protected from rival voices that would lead our children away...

This sermon challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions of modern education: that students are merely minds to be filled rather than hearts to be formed. Drawing from the book of Proverbs, we will discover that the true student is a worshiper whose loves, appetites, words, and actions reveal the deepest realities of the soul—and that Christian education is ultimately the formation of the he...

What does it mean to worship the Triune God? On this Trinity Sunday, we explore three passages that reveal the glory of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Genesis 1, we see the Triune God bringing order out of chaos and creating the world with wisdom, purpose, and beauty. In 2 Corinthians 13, we discover the perfect unity, love, grace, and fellowship that flow from the Godhead and are to be reflecte...

Pentecost was not a strange interruption in the story of redemption. It was the moment the curse began to run backward. In this sermon, we will see how the Holy Spirit came not merely to inspire ecstatic experiences, but to breathe life into dead men, gather scattered nations, soften hearts of stone, and begin the great restoration of everything Adam shattered through sin.

This Lord’s Day on the The Shepherd’s Church Podcast, we continue our Proverbs series by asking one of the most important questions any parent, church, or civilization can answer: Who determines the canon of knowledge that shapes our children? In a world drowning in counterfeit wisdom, shifting truth claims, and educational confusion, Proverbs calls us back to the only perfectly refined curriculum...

In today’s sermon, Pastor Kendall continues the church’s series on Christian education by asking a foundational question: Who actually has the authority over education and knowledge? Walking through the book of Proverbs, this sermon shows that all wisdom, truth, and understanding belong to Jesus Christ, exposing the myth of educational neutrality and calling believers to see every subject, every d...

Christian education rises or falls on one foundation: the fear of the Lord is not preparation for knowledge but the very substance of it, while pride offers a counterfeit system that hardens hearts and ends in ruin.  In contrast, fearing God builds strong lives and generational faithfulness, and this wisdom is ultimately found in Christ, who became wisdom for us, transforming fools into true knowe...

Our newest elder Don Smith talks about what it looks like to put off the old man and to put on the new man, as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

This sermon exposes how every sin flows from misplaced hope, showing that whatever we treat as our “portion” becomes our god and inevitably collapses under the weight of our worship. It then calls us to repent and anchor our hope in the Lord alone, whose steadfast love in Christ is the only unshakable portion that satisfies now and forever. 

A charge given to our new elder, Don Smith.

Drawing from 1 Timothy 3 and Hebrews 13:17, pastor Harold Guptil taught us about the weight of the office of overseer and the congregation's reciprocal duty to submit, edify, and encourage. Elders are appointed by God to care for souls with patience, humility, and mercy upon mercy, and the flock is called to be no drippy faucet of criticism but a joy to those who watch over them.

The tenth commandment is the mirror Sinai holds up to the soul, revealing that God is not merely after our behavior but after our hearts. Every broken commandment traces back to a coveting root, and every coveting heart is really an accusation against the Shepherd who has measured out our portion. The cure is not getting more, but looking up to see the One who did not spare His own Son, and learni...

In this final sermon of the series, we uncover what the resurrection actually means and why it demands more than escape or empty optimism. Jesus, the risen Gardener, breathes new creation life into His people and sends them out to cultivate the world He is restoring, one field at a time. This message will reshape how you see your identity, your mission, and every sphere of your life as part of Chr...

This sermon unfolds the resurrection as far more than a miracle to admire, revealing it as the decisive turning point of all creation. Beginning in the darkness of the garden tomb, it traces how Christ rises on the “eighth day,” inaugurating a new world, a new humanity, and a new relationship between God and man. Through rich biblical patterns, from Eden to the Ark, from Adam to David, it shows th...
