Baaa Baaaa

Jesus talks a lot about believers of the Lord in scripture, as sheep.  He protects the sheep. 

John 10:25-30

"Jesus answered, 'I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.'”

We are the Lord's sheep. Now look at the verses again, but say your name everywhere it says sheep or refers to sheep. Fill in the blanks with your name.

 

"...The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me (Jesus), but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 

My sheep _______ listens to my voice; 

I know them _______, and they _______ follow(s) me. 

I give them _______eternal life, and they _______ shall never perish; no one will snatch them _______ out of my hand.  

My Father, who has given them _______ to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them ______ out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

Wow, It is awesome when you put your name in there instead of the sheep....because then it seems more personable and God seems so much closer to us.

1 Cereal to Eat, 1 Church

People, including myself, at times have wondered why there are so many churches. 

 Think of all the cereals in the aisle of the grocery store. There are so many flavors. So many tastes. 

Some crunchy and soft

Some marshmallowy and some gritty.

Some hard and some chewy.

Chocolate, granola, vanilla or graham?

Made of rice, wheat, corn or who knows what else?

No sugar, low sugar, and sugar galore.

So many cereals to choose from.

Yet We all have one goal to eat.

We all have different tastes, different likes, yet we all should have one goal in the church.

To go to church to worship and to learn about our Lord and Savior.

When we are listening to the sermons it is like we are eating and taking in the word of God.
