Find, Feed, Fight

In John 10:1-18 Jesus said that He is The Good Shepherd and tells us the difference between a shepherd and a hired hand. A shepherd loves his sheep and cares for them by laying down his life so THEY can have life. Conversely, a hired hand is simply in it for the money, and when a wolf attacks the sheep he runs away. A hired hand has the responsibilities of a shepherd, but not the conviction to fulfill the job. In Chi Alpha we believe the 3-fold job of a shepherd is to Find, Feed, and Fight for the lambs of God. In this lesson you will hear Chi Alpha’s National Training Director Alex Rodriguez talk not only about this 3-fold job we have, but the “why” behind it! We don’t want to merely be hired hands and quit when things gets hard. Listen how we can be good shepherds like OUR Good Shepherd Jesus and lay down our lives for The Kingdom of God.

DOER STEP:

BE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES. JAMES 1:22

- GO ON CAMPUS TO MAKE A NEW FRIEND AND GET THEIR NUMBER

- SHARE THE FIVE FOLD GOSPEL WITH THEM

  1. GOD CREATES MANKIND AND THE WORLD IS PERFECT.

  2. MAN CHOOSES SELFISHNESS (SIN) AND DAMAGES THE PERFECT FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.

  3. GOD PURSUES MAN TO RESTORE RELATIONSHIP BY GIVING THE LAW AND SENDING PROPHETS. MAN CANNOT LIVE UP TO THE LAW— HE IS TOO SELFISH WITHIN HIMSELF. SO JESUS SHOWS US HOW AND LIVES THE PERFECT LIFE, DIES IN OUR PLACE AND DEFEATS SIN.

  4. GOD RAISES JESUS FROM THE DEAD AND DEATH IS DEFEATED!

  5. JESUS IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND HIS SPIRIT CAN NOW LIVE IN US! THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS. NOW REPENT AND BELIEVE IT!
