Text: Ezekiel 34:15-16 & Luke 14:12-24
Theme: Shepherding the Flock: (i) How the Lost Sheep are to be Sought
The LORD says that He Himself will be the Shepherd to His flock. In doing so He has five main things that He will accomplish. The first of these is to seek the lost sheep and bring them into the sheepfold. The way that Scripture teaches us the LORD will accomplish this, is by sending His ministers to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people and to the whole of creation. This is a task that needs to be done in all diligence and earnestness not ceasing until the lost sheep are part of the LORD’s sheepfold.

Theme: Live from the hand of the Father.
Scriptures teaches us that God, our Father, is a loving Father who takes care of His creations. He does this in such a way that not even a hair can fall from their head without Him having willed it to have happened. All creatures, indeed the whole of creation, are in His almighty hands. This is a very comforting thought when we realize that even though He chastises us and disciplines us at times, all things work together for our good.
