Understanding A Very Important Analogy
God portrays Himself as a Shepherd and us as sheep.
Understanding this relationship will greatly benefit not only our understanding of who God is
and why, but also to teach us what our responsibilities are as his children (or sheep).
What are some of the Bible names for men serving in this role?
________________________

Why do we have or need shepherds (elders)?
Eph. 4:11:12, “to ___________ the _________ for the ________ of ministry, for ____________ ____ the body of Christ”
Ezekiel 34 also helps us understand the need for a good shepherd is for protection and
provision for the flock. (The flocks of God’s people)
In John 10 Jesus calls Himself both the door of the sheep and The Good Shepherd.
This is another illustration of Jesus being: The Way, The Truth, & The Life as taught in John 14:6
In 1 Peter 5:5 we are told to be ___ ______________ to our elders. When we understand the
God-given pattern for shepherds and their responsibilities, we should do this willingly.
Why is Jesus as The Good Shepherd, and our shepherds here at Laurel Canyon so needed?
Isaiah 53:6 tells us, “________ we like sheep have ________ ________”

Let’s take a look and see why the way we communicate about spiritual things matters. Remember the great power of our words!
Let’s look at what Paul was teaching the saints in Colossae as captured in Colossians 1:21-24:
- Mankind was all kinds of bad in the beginning
- Christ reconciled us to God by ______________
- Christ said the church was His ______________
Did Max & Susie have a problem understanding each other? YES / NO
They were using the same word but it had different _____________.
Did Norm & Ed have trouble understanding each other? YES / NO
People often use the word ”church” to mean a religious _______________.
We really need to understand and properly communicate that the church that Jesus died for is more like a ______________ ______________ of God’s people.
In Ephesians 5:27 Paul talked about how Jesus wanted the church to be “in _____________”. He didn’t want it to have any spots or wrinkles. He wanted it to
be HOLY and without ____________.”

WHY IS BAPTISM?
Let’s look together and see what the Bible has to say about the NECESSITY of
baptism in the life of someone striving for heaven.
In 1 Peter 3:21 baptism is compared to the flood of Genesis 7 in that saved Noah and his family.
It is said that baptism now ________ _______.
Some have no idea of the real danger of sin in general. More specifically the sin in their own
lives that they will have to give an answer for! See 2 Corinthians 5:10:
“For ___ must ______ appear before the _______________ ________ of Christ, so that each one may receive what is ______ for what he has _______ ___ ______ ________, whether _______ or _______.
• We are ALL guilty of sin: Romans 3:23
• Sin separates us from God: Isaiah 59:1-2
• We MUST guard our hearts!: Proverbs 4:23
What did Peter tell to those present to do once they were convicted of their sin against the Son of God? (Ref. Acts 2:38)
“Peter said to them, _____________ and be ____________ every one of you!”
But why baptism?
Baptism is where the sinner contacts the symbolic and powerful blood of Christ which cleanses
us from all sin!
• -Mt. 26:28 & Acts 2:28 connects the blood of Christ with baptism for forgiveness of sins
• -Rom 5:10 & 6:3 connects the blood of Christ with baptism for reconciliation
• -Rev. 1:5 & Acts 22:16 connects the blood of Christ with baptism for cleansing of sin
• -Rom5:9 & Mk. 16:16 connects the blood of Christ and baptism for SALVATION!

We must respect the power of our words.

“I say to you that for every ________ word men may speak, they will ________ ______________ of it in the day of _________________. For by your __________ you will be ________________, and by your words you will be _______________.”
What does it mean to take the Lord’s name in vain? ___________________________________________________________________
What happens if or when we do this? (ref. Ex.20:7) __________________________
A regular fervent prayer we should be praying to help us safeguard our speech is found in Psalms 141:3:
“Set a ________, O LORD, over my _________; Keep watch over the _______ of my __________.”
As a general truth to keep in mind at all times as we are being careful with our words is found in Ephesians 4:29:
Let no corrupting _______ come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for ___________ ____, as fits the occasion, that it may ______ ________ to those who _______.

When things seem to get complicated along the way, it's sometimes helpful to start over at the beginning...
When Jesus began preaching publicly in Galilee, His message was simple. He started out with, "__________________ _____ _________ _________________ ______ God is at ____________“

Jesus also taught us in ways to help us grow. List 5 of the Beatitudes:

As we grow toward maturity as Christians, we will be more aware of our sins and the temptations that lead us there. We will also recognize that JESUS is the ONLY answer for our condition.
And when we remember these things, we should be ready and willing to REPENT of our sins and be Baptized to wash them away. (Acts 2:38)

A lesson on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:11) is a good review of the equipment God has supplied us with to fight against the whiles of the Devil. Today we want to be sure and stress two very important details that sometimes are overlooked, but NO LESS important to our success!
As we read throughout the text of Ephesians 6:11-17 we learn that we have been given very special battle gear. What are each of these pieces made of?

As we work to develop our lives in faithfulness to God, we recognize the wisdom of God in His
commands to tell others about His love for us and the saving power of the sacrifice of His Son.
This is but one of many ways we plant the seed of the kingdom!

differently about my material possessions and how much effort I put into them?
? Do I love Jesus enough to tell other about Him? YES / NO -Even strangers? YES / NO
? Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends… Ref- John 15:13
? What two characters do we see in today’s lesson that demonstrates this level of love?
________________________ & ____________________________

Key Text Joshua chapters 7 & 8
The battle to keep a fit mind that is disciplined, holy and pleasing to God is of grave importance given the barrage of wicked and sinful temptations around us!

How much higher in the mountains was it than Jericho? ______________
Who was the man that caused Israel to fail in battle? __________
What did he do? _________________________________________________________________
Am I ever tempted to do things God has told me not to? YES / NO
What can we learn from his example about sin that should help us avoid those kinds of situations?
_______________________________________________________________________________
Only when we confess our sins and reconcile with God through the blood of Jesus in baptism will we be able to stand before Him.

What might we be able to accomplish this new year for the kingdom of God?
- ___ can do _____l things through _________ who strengthens ____. (Philippians 4:13)
We have taken time to build up our confidence after many attempts by Satan to destroy it!
-And he will try again so always be watching!
Our new focus for 2023 is “_________ of a ____________ seed.”
Our new focus is geared to take our confidence in God to the next level.
Jesus teaches the value of a grounded and lively faith. A faith that is visible and active every day. James teaches us that if we say we have faith but are not active in it, our faith is actually dead!
“So also faith by ________, if it does not have ___________, is dead.” (James 2:17)
_______________________- Is an example of someone of “little faith”
_______________________- Is an example of someone who had “great faith”
As we work diligently to let our faith develop like the mustard seed in Matthew 13 we will take hold of new opportunities to serve God and one another.
By developing our faith in God we will be pleasing to Him.
- We will be more zealous to tell others about His Word & His Son
- We will have a greater focus on growing closer together as a family
- We will find a strength that will weather the most difficult trials this life has to offer
May the Lord work mightily in your life this year! May He bless all of us here at Laurel Canyon as we work together!

A huge stumbling block to our faith can ultimately be detrimental to it: the problem of suffering. If God is good and loves us, why does He allow us to suffer so much, especially when it seems we don't deserve it? If He is both all powerful and all good, how can He have the power to stop it but not stop it? To answer these questions, there are several things we must consider first.1) Examine our expectations.

The four gospels record a total of seven short quotations from Jesus while He suffered on the cross (Luke 23:34,43,46; John 19:26-27, 28, 30; Matthew 27:46). Of these seven statements, only one is found in the gospel of Matthew. “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” (27:46, NKJV).

If we focus on outward appearances alone, we miss out on many things and get ourselves into trouble. From friends and mates, to teachers, to elders, to church visitors, to whole churches, to Jesus himself; we might miss out and neglect all of these by our own superficial standards of judgement. We should never miss out out on anything because we were too vain to catch them.

When faced with the opinion-filled, faulty, and unscientific fantasy of evolution, and also the idea that we are nothing more than matter, we face a conundrum. If we truly are only matter, then we have no inherent morality or sense of right and wrong. That's the problem. No matter how we try to look at it, we actually do have this sense of morality. Where did this come from? How does that seperate us out from animals, or other "matter"?

The skeptics of Christianity are many and some of the them are quite vocal. One area in which some critics like to attach the Scripture is with their "science". Some like to claim the Bible is very "unscientific" and there is no evidence for the God of the Bible.Yet, the Bible reveals internal evidence of an all-knowing God! Today, we want to consider one specific area in which the Bible reveals our omniscient God - scientific foreknowledge.Certain discoveries, by men, in the various fields of science are of recent origin. Yet, the inspired writers of Scripture refer to many scientific…

For many people, Chritmas is their most favorite time of year. Yet, for others it is a hard time of year. For Christians, this can be a diificult and confusing time too because we see signs like "Jesus is the reason for the season" and we can't find it in our Bibles. Or signs saying, "Happy Birthday Jesus" and, yet, we can't find that either.

Imperfect, flawed, misguided, twisted, failed, hopeless, and no good. What first comes to mind after considering those attributes? Many may think of mankind. You would be correct if you agreed with them. However, and most fortunately, God does not leave us that way. Paul to the Corinthians says "but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 15:57) Because of the grace of God and our submission and acceptance of that grace, mankind can now also say that we are redeemed, loved, led, provisioned, rich, upheld, never alone, never foresaken, yet always IN NEED.

But while that call to them was for a specific work, it is still a call to any Christian today (Matt. 16:24). It's a call to unity, a call to transformation, and a call to sacrifice.

While the religious leaders of that time questioned His decision to eat with and spend time with the spiritually sick of this world, Jesus rebukes them and informs them that He is simply doing His job. He did not come to heal people who are already well, but to heal the sick ones. Why don't we go to the Doctor?
