Shepherd The Flock Of God

Here are three texts for your consideration this morning.

Proverbs 27:23 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds,

1 Peter 5:2-5 Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourself with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Acts 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, to which the Holy Spirit has made you overseer, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
