THE SHEPHERD'S HEART - PART 2 (1 Thessalonians 3:1-13)
INTRODUCTION:
Last week we began looking at chapter 3, this morning, Lord willing, we will finish it up. In this chapter Paul models for us the shepherd’s heart for the flock that God has given into his care. Paul’s example of the model shepherd gives us seven features of a shepherd’s heart for his flock. Last week we looked at the first four of those features. First, we saw the shepherd’s love for his flock, then the shepherd’s sacrifice for his flock, third, the shepherd’s lovingkindness for his flock and finally, the shepherd’s watchfulness over his flock.
