Episode Synopsis

Send us a text“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” – John 10:11In this episode, we stand before one of the most profound declarations Jesus ever made. With tenderness and divine authority, Christ does not merely call Himself a shepherd—He calls Himself the Good Shepherd.But what does that mean?Why does Jesus claim this title? What makes His shepherding “good”? And why does He promise to lay down His life for His sheep?Join us as we dive deep into the theological heart of the Gospel. You’ll explore the richness of Christ’s substitutionary atonement, the intimacy of His love for His sheep, and the exclusive, soul-rescuing nature of His saving work. Whether you’re struggling with sin, overwhelmed by anxiety, or simply in need of gospel-saturated hope, this message is for you.Christ sees you.Christ knows you.Christ gave Himself for you.And He still holds His sheep today.We end this episode by beholding the cross, rejoicing in our Good Shepherd’s love, and echoing the words of Hebrews 13:20–21: “May the God of peace… equip you with everything good… through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”You are not forgotten. You are not alone. The Good Shepherd has laid down His life for you.This week we will be reading the following Scripture:John 10: 11Psalm 23Ezekiel 34: 8-16John 10: 17,182 Corinthians 5:21John 10: 27-29John 6: 37-40Isaiah 53: 6Galatians 6: 14Romans 5: 8Isaiah 43: 1Isaiah 40: 11Philippians 1: 6Hebrews 13: 20, 21We look forward to seeing you next Friday!
