Paul's Question to Agrippa

Summary

The sermon contrasts the selfishness of the rich man in Luke 12 with the intimate, caring relationship between the shepherd and his sheep as depicted in Psalm 23 and other scriptures. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd who knows and cares for His flock, and warns against covetousness and self-centeredness. The message also highlights the role of under-shepherds (pastors) in feeding and caring for the church, the Lord's flock, and the necessity of prayerful selection of church leaders. Throughout, the sermon uses biblical examples to illustrate the spiritual lessons about dependence on God and the dangers of pride and materialism.
