Summary
As sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd, we are invited to know and recognize the voice of the Lord—our good Shepherd. In this message, Hayley Braun invites us into a deeper understanding of God’s heart and role of a shepherd by exploring the nature and design of sheep. In John 10:11 and 14, God boldly speaks to both His role as a Shepherd and the reach of His love towards His sheep. What can we learn about God’s leadership and our own design from the relationship between sheep and their shepherd? How might we grow in living from a place of trust and dependency on Him? Together, let’s discover the simplicity of following Jesus and leaning not on our own understanding—but on the love and leadership of our good Shepherd.
