Pastor Glen's Sermon PowerPoint 3/7/21

HOW GOD TREATS HIS SHEEP “THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I have everything I need. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in the right paths for his name’s sake. Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me! YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF COMFORT ME. You prepare a banquet for me in front of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, and my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever!” (PSALM 23) PASTOR A. GLEN BASUEL 1. GOD SHOWS ME COMPASSION “WHEN HE SAW THE CROWDS, HE HAD COMPASSION ON THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE HARASSED AND HELPLESS, LIKE SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD.” (MATTHEW 9:36) “…JUST AS THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.” (MATTHEW 20:28) 2. GOD LEADS ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION “HE GUIDES ME ALONG THE RIGHT PATHS FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE.” (PSALM 23:3b) WHEN HE (THE GOOD SHEPHERD) HAS BROUGHT OUT ALL HIS OWN, HE GOES ON AHEAD OF THEM, AND HIS SHEEP FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE THEY KNOW HIS VOICE. (JOHN 10:4) 3. GOD GIVES ME SALVATION “27 MY SHEEP LISTEN TO MY VOICE; I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME. 28 I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NO ONE WILL SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. 29 MY FATHER, WHO HAS GIVEN THEM TO ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND.” (JOHN 10:27-29) “THE GATEKEEPER OPENS THE GATE FOR HIM, AND THE SHEEP LISTEN TO HIS VOICE. HE CALLS HIS OWN SHEEP BY NAME AND LEADS THEM OUT.” (2 PETER 1:3) 1. GOD SHOWS ME COMPASSION (MATTHEW 9:36, MATTHEW 20:28) 2. GOD LEADS ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (PSALM 23:3b, JOHN 10:4) 3.
