You Have a Good Shepherd - Colt Emswiler - December 7, 2025

Many of us carry the weight of poor leadership. When the people entrusted with shaping us acted from their own brokenness, we learned to stay cautious. For some, that experience can slowly shape how we view God too, especially when the disappointment came through parents or spiritual leaders. But Jesus does not lead the way they led. He reveals the heart of a shepherd who does not fail or falter. The message of You Have a Good Shepherd shows God stepping toward us as the One who gathers the scattered and heals the wounded. He goes after the ones who wandered and brings them back with kindness instead of shame. He is the Shepherd who became the Lamb, carrying our sin so we could be brought into His care without fear. He meets our hesitation with patience and our questions with mercy. Psalm 23 reminds us that His leadership restores the soul and guides us in paths of righteousness. Ezekiel 34 promises that God Himself will search for His flock and bring them home. John 10 reveals Jesus as the Shepherd who knows His sheep and lays down His life for them. You have a good shepherd.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/
