1 Pet 5. Acts 20. John 21. All of these verses tell us to feed the flock, feed the flock, feed the sheep, tend the flock, care for the flock. Noteworthy: they all use the same word. Feeding the sheep is more expansive than giving the sheep food, more encompassing then simply filling their need to eat. It consists of bringing them to the food, of watching over them as they eat, as tending for them and caring for them and protecting them.

When looking to shepherd one must first look to the Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. By taking note of Him and His work we would come to a closer understanding of what it is to shepherd perfectly.

This post will organize all the posts for the Greenwood Hills Shepherding Conference which occurred the August 17(PM) to August 19 (AM) 2006. With sessions being an hour in length and offering a 5-15 minute break save for meals which were 30 minutes, I didn’t have much time to do more than tight outlines during the messages. So I reformatted them in essay form–they may be a tad long at times
