Shepherds Support International Encourage, Equip, Engage

Faith for Today and Tomorrow - #7 Past, Present and Future. In Acts chapter 20 we find Paul, towards the end of his life, meeting with the Ephesian elders. He is expressing his heart to these dear friends in whom he had poured his life into realizing that this would be the last time they would see each other this side of heaven.

In this final message of the series on Faith for Today and Tomorrow, we join pastor Steve as he says goodbye to his friends at Wayside Chapel after faithfully serving there for 34 years.

As you press on in your life and ministry calling we hope that you will be encouraged by the example of both the Apostle Paul and pastor Steve to finish well in all that God has entrusted to you.

Faith for Today and Tomorrow - #6 He is the Great I AM. Most people around the world would recognize the historical existence of Jesus Christ. Some would consider him to be a great teacher, others an influencial prophet of old.

But the real question that all of us will be asked to answer upon the end of this life is do we believe that Jesus was God as He absolutely claimed to be?

In this next teaching on the Gospel of John, pastor Steve looks at 8 of the great I AM statements that Jesus Christ makes that unmistakably express His claim to divinity as the Son of God.

#5 We have a Fearless Forerunner - In this message from John 15:12-27, pastor Steve explains that Jesus has led the way for us as our fearless forerunner. He calls us follow Him and be His friend, to be fruitful, fearless and faithful in our witness.

#4 We have a Fruitful Fellowship - What does fruitfulness look like in your life? Would you define it in terms of your possessions, your accomplishments, your family?  Our lives are meant to be fruitful, but we can only experience real fruitfulness when we are dependent upon the true vine, Jesus Christ. The good news is that this is how we were designed to be as we abide in Christ and He in us.

In this 4th message from John 15:1-11, pastor Steve will look at what it means to abide in Christ and see the fruit of God’s Spirit in us as a result.

#3 We Have a Faithful Friend - Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? Is genuine peace something that you have given up hope on having in your life? Do you still long for an intimate relationship with God?

If so, then you will be encouraged by the message coming from John, chapter 14:16-31. Pastor Steve will look at the Person, Presence, Purpose and Peace of the Holy Spirit sent by God the Father, Christ in us.

#2 We Have A Forever Father - In this next message by pastor Steve, he talks about the impact of having a Forever Father as he continues in his study of John 14:7-15.

In the midst of a troubled world, we need to understand that We have a good, good Father. He has been revealed through Christ and He remains in control of all things. He reigns forever and His plans are ultimately for our good.
