You don't have to look far to find leaders who are failing those they lead. From those on the global stage, to the local church, leaders often don't meet our expectations for good leadership.
While God is the Good Shepherd, he places human shepherds in his stead to lead his people. Unfortunately, though, Bad Shepherds rise and fail us.

The Lord of the Rings has Concerning Hobbits, Star Wars has The Imperial March, Les Miserables has Who Am I? Theme songs represent characters and pop up when they come into focus. Through the Bible, there's a theme song that pops up - "The Good Shepherd". Originating in Psalm 23, this series follows The Good Shepherd theme right through the bible, culminating in the person of Jesus.

Tim continues our series, Sent Out By Jesus, thinking about what kind of recruitment ad Jesus might've commissioned when looking for his disciples and followers.
The role of being on mission for Jesus is likely to be dangerous, hazardous, and not well rewarded in this lifetime. So why would we sign up for that?

In Joel Snibson's first talk at St John's, he looks at our calling as followers of Jesus to be people of peace.
Jesus called his twelve disciples and gave them authority to heal and drive out evil spirits. Did these disciples feel ready and prepared to be sent? Simon the Zealot- an anarchist, and Matthew the Tax Collector- a public servant! An unlikely couple of people, and not exactly a dream team. But Jesus sends the unlikely - he sends us.

Tim Johnson encourages us to re-focus our hearts on mission, however that might look for you. Whether you're on an overseas mission trip or going to work or school, it's such an important way we can show the love of Jesus to people who don't yet know Him.

Solomon's story starts off pretty well, but halfway through chapter 10, the author of 1 Kings starts subtly digging at Solomon's actions and decisions - listing the things he's done that contradict God's instructions for kings.
