Sermon notes

Names: Jehovah Rohi

Scriptures: Psalm 23:1-6; 1 Peter 2:25

Pastor Joey Ling

Jehovah Rohi means “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”

A sheep without a shepherd is lost. It cannot survive on its own.


The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,[a]

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

—Psalm 23:1-6

What Jehovah Rohi does based on Psalm 23

He leads and provides

He refreshes & strengthens us

He guides us

He gives us courage

He keeps us safe

Victory over death


“For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

—1 Peter 2:25

God is the overseer of our souls. He is the shepherd of our souls.

Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd, and he made the ultimate sacrifice for us (John 10:11).

Kingdom Truths: Parable of Prodigal Son

June 16, 2024 • Pastoral Intern Evan Ng • Luke 15:11–32

Kingdom Truths: Parable of Prodigal Son Scriptures: Luke 15:11-32 Pastoral Intern Evan Ng What is a parable? A story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, told by Jesus. Why does Jesus use parables? Because it gives us as the listeners the invitation to respond back to Him. Prodigal: spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant. “It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with selfish ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. —C. S. Lewis Both brothers had wrong motives. But in this story we only see one of them repent. If God were to think about you, what would his first feelings be? Love and compassion, not disappointment or letdown. Big Idea: God wants us to rely on him, not because we already have everything together, but because we don’t. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” —Mark 2:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. —John 3:16-17 How should we live? Romans 12:9-21.
