Walking With The Shepherd

Trinity Community Church

Welcome to “Walking With The Shepherd,” the inaugural sermon in our enlightening new series, “Journeying With The Shepherd,” presented by Pastor Mark Medley. This profound discourse takes us deep into the pastoral imagery of Psalm 95:6-7, unveiling the layers of our spiritual journey with God through the dynamic of shepherd and sheep.
In this sermon, Pastor Mark Medley delves into what it means to walk with God daily, exploring how this continuous spiritual journey influences every aspect of our lives. The concept of walking with God, which originates from the earliest stories in Genesis and extends through the New Testament, symbolizes our ongoing, day-to-day choices that must align with God’s divine path.
Drawing from personal experiences, Pastor Mark shares captivating stories from his pilgrimage with shepherds in the mountainous regions of Poland. These narratives not only bring to life the traditional shepherd-sheep relationship but also illustrate profound truths about our relationship with God. By observing the trust and communication between shepherds and their flocks, Pastor Mark draws powerful parallels to how we, as followers of Christ, should interact with and depend on our divine Shepherd.
The discussion deepens as Pastor Mark introduces insights from Magda, an expert in leadership training who utilizes shepherding principles to teach effective leadership to corporate teams. Her experiences underscore the importance of clear, consistent communication in building trust—a vital component in both earthly and spiritual leadership.
This sermon also revisits the timeless Psalm 23, breaking down its promises of guidance, provision, and comfort from the Lord, our Shepherd. Pastor Mark reflects on the life of David, emphasizing the steadfast nature of God’s care, even in our darkest moments. Through this exploration, we gain a richer understanding of how God shepherds us through various life challenges, guiding us on paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Furthermore, Pastor Mark discusses how these biblical insights apply to our modern roles as leaders in our families and communities. He challenges us to embody the characteristics of a good shepherd—compassion, vigilance, and unwavering guidance. By adopting these traits, we not only walk closely with God but also lead others along the path He has set for us.
