This message is dedicated to our graduating seniors; Godly young adults prepared to live in an ungodly world.

If the title is right, it explains the job.  Three terms in the New Testament are closely linked: Shepherd, Elder, and Overseer.  This message will explore the job, as implied by these titles.

This message looks at the example of early Church elders and what they did.  This will help us understand the role of elders today.

True and false paths, true and false prophets, true and false disciples.  Be sure you get these things right.

It is called ‘the Golden Rule’ because it is so good.  If we could follow it, life would be much better.

One of the things we have to wrap our minds around is that God wants to take care of us.  We get distracted by the big things we might want and can we get that, and forget that He’s taking care of us all the time.

If Jesus did not rise from the dead, He is barely a historical footnote.  But if the resurrection is real, then death is weak and life is eternal.

Shortly after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus told three parables.  All three show people not doing what they should have been doing.  There is a consistent message that honoring Christ with words only means nothing, but honoring Him in truth brings reward.

En route to His final week in Jerusalem, Jesus stayed on task.  Giving sight to the blind and reaching the lost, Jesus never faltered in His mission. 

When we see someone sinning, we could use it as an opportunity to pounce on them; it is also an opportunity to help them.
