Some people like to point out how much churches have changed over the centuries. The truth is “the more church changes, the more it stays the same.” Jesus’ letters to seven different churches show that even 2000 years ago churches dealt with unruly people, theological heresy, apathy, persecution, and losing sight of what’s most important. In the sermon series “Seven Churches Just Like Ours,” we will examine Revelation 2 & 3, looking closely at how Jesus commended and rebuked church leadership and practice. If these ancient churches were a lot like ours today, what can we learn and how can we change?
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
