Throughout the Bible shepherds illustrate our relationship with God. Shepherds watch over a flock of sheep. They guide them to food and water. When sheep stray, shepherds bring them back into the fold. They take care of wounded sheep and willingly sacrifice themselves to protect the sheep. The spiritual gift of shepherding means “to guide, nurture, and protect a flock”. The Holy Spirit works through believers to oversee the spiritual welfare of a group of believers. Shepherds assume responsibility for a group of believers over a period of time. They help people grow spiritually and intervene when struggles, pain or need threaten a member’s progress. In this session Steve Lake talks about shepherds who serve as small group leaders or facilitators.
