The Shepherd's Church

Today we close out with the final verse of the Lord's Prayer.

When Jesus is hanging on the cross, He cries out the famous words: "My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?" But what does it mean? What is Jesus communicating? That is what we will be looking at in today's Palm Sunday sermon!

What does it mean to forgive? How does forgiving others relate to being forgiven? And, what is the extent that we are to forgive? All of this and more we will be talking about in today's Sunday School Episode.

Did you know that the Bible talks about the hatred of God? While God is a God of love, He also hates particular sins and particular people. In today's sermon we examine the hatred of God.

In the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer, we move from an acknowledgment of God (Father, Sovereign, and Kingdom) now to personal petitions, beginning this week with the petition for the Lord to give us our daily bread.

Today we examine what it means to be a worthless person, and as people who have marred and destroyed our worth, can we have hope?

In this week's Sunday School lesson, we tackle the next aspect the Lord's Prayer, which is "Thy Kingdom Come." Join us as we explore what that means together.

In this today's sermon, we explore Proverbs 6:1-5 and the dangerous financial trap of surety—cosigning debts and taking on financial risks for others. Like quicksand, surety seems harmless at first but quickly ensnares those who step into it. Solomon urgently warns against this foolish entanglement, urging immediate escape before the consequences become inescapable. We discuss what surety is,...

In this second part of the Lord's Prayer, we look at what it means to "Hallow" the name of God!

What is the Biblical view of sex? Not just the "don't do's" but what must we do? And how can we take this precious gift of God and use it to glorify Him? That is what we will tackle in today's sermon on Proverbs 5:15-23

In this series on the Lord's Prayer, we begin with the "Our Father who art in heaven"

How does a man fight against lust? Do you face it? Fight it? Wrestle it to the ground and make the aberrant cravings obey your will? Or do you flee from it? Run from it? And get as far away from it as you possible can? What we will see today is that the Bible does not command us to fight our lusts, it commands us to flee from them!

The book of Proverbs presents to us a holistic view of wisdom. It is not something that lives and dies in your head, but trickles down into every bit of you. Join us as we dive into these things together.

Proverbs 4:10-19 talks about what evil is. It is a restless poison that corrupts the soul, destroys communities, and must be warred against. That war begins by naming evil and calling it what it is. Join us as we explore these things together.

The Shepherd's Church was blessed to have Reverend Harold Guptil to join us this Sunday!

the Bible does more than just suggest we cultivate wisdom. It commands it! And not only that, it tells us exact how we are to think and feel about wisdom. Join us as we consider these things from Proverbs 4:5-9

What kind of world has Jesus made, and what will His redemption as the true and better Adam look like? Join us as we consider the totalizing vision of Scripture!

After some thought and prayer, we decided to record our Sunday School lessons and release them on the Podcast. Here is our first episode, which happens to be the final topic in our series called "Distinctives," which explores who we are as a church.

What does it mean for Christ to be in you? What implications does that have upon your life? Join us as our guest preacher explores these concepts today.

The Kingdom Jesus brings is eternal, global, and total. He will bring about that Kingdom by crushing His enemies and by blessing His covenant people until the entire world is filled with worshipers. join us as we conclude our Christmas series examining what kind of Kingdom Jesus will bring.

In Revelation 12, we get a front row seat to the war between God and the Dragon. A war that was waged worldwide before the flood, in Canaan after the flood, and was ended in the city of Jerusalem. Join us as we continue our apocalyptic Christmas!

After looking at the woman of Revelation 12 (who is the covenant people of God, true Israel, past present and future), now we come to the dragon. Who is he? What is his purpose? And what is the war that he is waging for heaven (this week) and for earth (next week)

Who is the Woman of Revelation 12? Is she Mary? Is she Israel? Is she the Church? Or is she something more extraordinary than what we might first imagine? Join us

The birth of Christ was a great sign. Not just a sign of salvation, but a sign of judgment and war. A sign that the Lord was coming to begin the revolution, to put His enemies under His feet, and to bring the world into conformity with His vision. This is Christmas, and this is the Savior's war!

The center of education is not the academy, not co-ops, and not programs like VBS. While those can be good things, the center of a believers education will be in the home. Join us as we unpack how the home is vitally important to the education of our children.
