Life with the Shepherd: Beloved in the Wilderness

from Kearney First UMC Podcasts · host Kearney First UMC, NE

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon Podcast! In this sermon, Pastor Jen Gibbs looks at Psalm 23:1 and the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4. Jesus is our good shepherd who knows His sheep by name. We belong to the shepherd in three unique ways: we are created as objects of divine affection, we are purchased by Jesus' sacrifice, and we are cared for by God through the Holy Spirit. God chooses us over and over. The words "I lack nothing" in Psalm 23:1 are not words of denial, they are words of trust. Dependence on God is not a weakness.
