  • Thou Art the Man’
    PSALM 51: ‘THOU ART THE MAN’ What is a sin? “A sin is when our actions come unglued from our story.” For actions to make sense they gave to be placed into a story. An action without a coherent story is meaningless. Our lives are built up as thousands of actions but without a coherent story they are all meaningless. I am who I am in my story. If we live in a truthful story that makes sense to us we learn the habits of a set character. A person secure in his or her identity of story doesn’t commit adultery. They usually don’t get anxious either, because they know who they are by recognising whose they are. David’s story and identity are fused. Or at least they were supposed to be FUSED. David should have had the character-role in his own story of the warrior-for-God. How does David lose his sense of self? So David has a story; he’s the king. The king should be out smashing Israel’s enemies, right? The Psalms tell the king’s story right up front: I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery (Psalm 2.8-9) This is David’s true story. This is his identity. But David forgets his story? (Have you forgotten yours?) and so David’s actions 1 — Come unglued from his story! David loses his story. With that loss he also loses his identity.

    P5a r t 1 Biblical and Historical Foundations While this book is designed to provide a very practical model for shepherding ministry, no church should embrace a ministry model that cannot demonstrate its biblical rationale. Though the Bible is not a detailed “book of church order,” the Lord has provided clear principles designed to guide his church for its ongoing health and growth, particularly with regard to the nature and functions of church leaders. The concept of the leader as a shepherd is a theme with deep roots in God’s written revelation with its foundations in the Old Testament and fulfillment in the New. Chapters one and two will provide the biblical background, and chapter three will give a brief overview of the theme through the subsequent history of the church. Before we embark on the “how to’s” of the next section, chapter four will address the important biblical foundations of a shepherd’s “right” to exercise the biblical leadership functions. 9 Witmer_Shepherd Leader.indd 9 1/11/10 10:55:28 AM Witmer_Shepherd Leader.indd 10 1/11/10 10:55:28 AM !

  • The Shepherd King 11/25/2018
    THE SHEPHERD KING 11/25/2018 The Shepherd King The Rev. Christi O. Brown FPC Traditional Services Nov. 25, 2018 Today we celebrate Christ the King Sunday, which was first instituted in 1925 by the Pope in response to growing nationalism and secularism. The idea was that Christians should focus on Christ as King versus worldly leaders or messages. The Pope proclaimed, “The faithful..., by meditating upon these truths [of Christ], will gain much strength and courage, enabling them to form their lives after the true Christian ideal...Christ our Lord [and king]...must reign in our minds...our wills…our hearts…[and] our bodies.”1 With this in mind, let us now hear the word of God. Ezekiel 34: 11-17 The passage is called “God, The True Shepherd.” Hear now the word of God: For thus says the Lord God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. 12As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited parts of the land. 14I will feed them with good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel 1 Pope Pius XI, Quas primas, §33, Libreria Editrice Vaticana.

  • I Sam 17.1-50
    “The Giant Slayer” I Samuel 17:1-50 ~ Delivered at DHBC on April 20, 2014 (Soli Deo Gloria) INTRODUCTION Ø (SHOW SLIDE) Please open your Bibles to I Samuel 17. Ø This morning we are going to look at the story of David and Goliath. This story is so famous that it has become one of Western culture’s primary metaphors to describe the courageous ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. o Malcolm Gladwell just wrote a New York Times best seller about how weakness can be used as strength. Not only did he use this story as his primary illustration, he also named the book David and Goliath: underdogs, misfits, and the art of battling giants. § Gladwell is tapping into the universal human experience of being overwhelmed by life and the desire to defeat our giants. Ø Who of us has not had to fight the giant of other people’s disapproval and criticism? Or the giant of discouragement when life is just not working? Or the giant of bereavement when those we love die? Perhaps one of the most common giants we face is everyday anxiety. o We have a nanny who cares for our two youngest kids each morning. A few weeks ago we had to abruptly let her go. We immediately set out looking for someone new. We signed up on nanny websites and posted wanted ads on Craigslist and Kijiji. But we got almost no responses at all. § After a week of no responses I found myself starting to feel quite anxious. What if we can’t find someone? Will Heather have to quit her job? The implications of that are quite huge.

  • You, Goliath, & God the Story of Scripture
    McLean Bible Church Dr. David Platt April 28, 2019 You, Goliath, & God The Story of Scripture – Part 12 In the beginning of February, we started reading through the story of the Bible together. Many of you have been a part of that. I’ve heard so many people say how fruitful this has been. I want to encourage you to keep it up, keep going, don’t stop. If you have stopped, you can start back up this week. If you’re just now joining us, you can start; just can download the Bible Reading Plan from our website. We’re on Week 13 and we’re reading through the story of Scripture chronologically. I thought it would be helpful just to pause and think about where we are in this story. Hopefully this will help if you’re behind or just starting with us, or if you’re following along, it will remind you of what we’ve been reading. Here’s the way I would summarize the story of Scripture from cover to cover in the Bible. This is the big picture storyline of the Bible. God is redeeming a people by His grace for His glory among all peoples. God is redeeming—making new—a people by His grace for His glory among all peoples. I use that language particularly in light of what we celebrated last week: new life. People were celebrating forgiveness of sin, new life in Jesus. This is what God is doing in the world. It started with Genesis, where we saw creation, sin and the promise of redemption.

  • The Shepherd of Bethlehem King of Israel
    THE SHEPHERD OF BETHLEHEM KING OF ISRAEL (First in Series of Mr. Eardley) Written in 1870 By Charlotte Maria Tucker (A.L.O.E.) Chapter 1 The Slide “It was a cold, wintry day, about the time of the New Year. The wind blew in sharp gusts and drove the sleet into the faces of the few passengers who hurried along the High Street of the little town of Axe, anxious to reach the shelter of their homes. A curious-looking old street it was, narrow and very irregular, with all kinds of houses in it—some high, some low, some with shops, some without them, some retreating behind a little court, some pushing out their pointed gable-ends right into the pathway, some with roofs of slate, and some with roofs of tile, and one or two even thatched with straw, green and mossy with age. It is into one curious old house, with red-tiled roof and gable-end, and pointed windows with diamond-shaped panes, on which the frost has traced pretty patterns of seaweed and trees, that I will now take my reader. And first we enter a little shop in which Mrs. Block, the owner, sells paper and pens and string and prints to all who wish to buy. The window is gay with many a colored picture and a toy or a string of beads here and there make little children stand to gaze. But Mrs. Block does not earn her living only by selling in the shop. She also takes lodgers into the house as it is larger than she needs for herself.
