MESSAGE DETAILS

In this message, Pastor Tim Miller connects Psalm 23 with Matthew 9:35–38 to examine Jesus as the Good Shepherd and His compassion for people who are distressed, dejected, and “like sheep without a shepherd.” Through testimonies of ordinary believers responding to unexpected opportunities, the church is reminded that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. God is able to use willing disciples in everyday places—homes, workplaces, schools, businesses, and relationships—to bring encouragement, prayer, truth, and the hope of the gospel to people who need Him. Pastor Tim also highlights the importance of Christian community and small groups as places where believers can find spiritual nourishment, prayer, accountability, and deeper relationships centered on God’s Word. The message ultimately presents a personal challenge: Where are the shepherds? Where are the workers? And have we become spiritually dead or complacent? Rather than simply moving into another season of life unchanged, the church is called to pray to the Lord of the harvest, make ourselves available to Him, and ask Him to make us faithful shepherds and willing laborers wherever He has placed us. Scripture: Psalm 23; Matthew 9:32–38; John 17
