Sheep Need Shepherds John 10 Sheep need shepherds. The Lord has given elders to local churches to supply this need. Sheep (members of local churches) need to recognize their need for shepherds and learn to love, appreciate and follow their shepherds. John 10

Sheep Need Shepherds Shepherds & Sheep The sheep are disciples of Jesus (John 10:2-4, 26-27) Elders have been appointed as subordinate shepherds (1 Peter 5:1-4; Acts 20:28; 1 Tim. 3:1-6) There is to be a plurality of elders over each flock (Acts 14:23; 15:4; 20:17; Titus 1:5; Philippians 1:1)

Sheep Need Shepherds Without shepherds, the flock is directionless and vulnerable (Psalm 23:1-3) Shepherds know the sheep (John 10:3-14) Shepherds care for the sheep (1 Timothy 3:5; Titus 1:7; Acts 20:28) Shepherds watch the sheep (Matthew 7:15; 9:36; Acts 20:29-31; 1 Samuel 17:34-35)

Sheep Need Shepherds “And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.” (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 )

Sheep Need Shepherds “Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.” (Hebrews 13:17)
