John 10:7 Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the

gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves

and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate;

whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go

out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and

destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the

full. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down

his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who

owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons

the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and

scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand

and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I

know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father

knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the

sheep. - (NIV84)

There is only one good Shepherd

1. The nature of animals vs the nature of us humans

2. We were designed to follow Christ, the son of God

3. For many generations the salt had kept is influence

4. Falling prey to false leaders who came only to exploit

5. It’s time to get out of the slavery of satan & his demons
