Ezekiel 34:9

When Jesus called himself 'The Good Shepherd', he was drawing on biblical symbols for Kingship. The Shepherd theme in the bible tells us what it means for God to be King - he is close, he protects, he defeats evil, and he nourishes his flock. Join us for five days exploring the biblical theme of the Shepherd and be inspired to worship our glorious King Jesus.

Delve into the biblical contexts behind Jesus’ powerful ‘I AM’ statements found in the Gospel of John. As we look at look at these statements more closely, we will discover the Old Testament “shadows” which served as hints and signposts of a “substance” that was ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

Dear missionary, pastor. People always look to you for inspiration, answers, and support. You’re always expected to be available and on call 24/7. But the Father sees in you not only a minister, but first and foremost His child, whom He cares deeply for. You are His focus. That is why we created this 11-day reading plan as a gentle reminder: you have the right to pause and be refreshed. Here you will find encouragement, a reminder of your calling.
