Track 1 of 6

SHEPHERDS & SHEEP

Track 2 of 6

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GOD TAKES OVER

  Expect some frustration and confusion.
    _{^{“He makes me lie down in green pastures.” 
            1 Corinthians 12:7-10    1 Samuel 8:6–9:2}}

 God’s “No’s” are never arbitrary.

  Never compromise to get around a “No” or “Not yet.”

Track 3 of 6

  Expect to be led gently.
     _{^{“He leads me beside still waters.”  1 Corinthians 10:13    Matthew 11:28-30}}

    God always takes into account our weaknesses & limitations.

Track 4 of 6

  Expect a blessing not a beating.
     _{^{“He restores my soul”   Ezekiel 18:23  &  32    Matthew 9:10-13}}

   God is in the restoration business – judgment is always a last resort.

Track 5 of 6

  Expect to be led clearly.
     _{^{“He guides me in paths of righteousness, for his name’s sake.”   
              Proverbs 4:18-19    Psalm 119}}

    God’s will is easy to find – just obey what you already know!

Track 6 of 6

 Expect every valley to eventually lead to the mountain top.
    _{^{“Even in the valley I will fear no evil – He prepares a table in the presence
       of my enemies”   1 Peter 1:6-7    James 1:2-4    Romans 8:28    Psalm 73}}
