John 10:11-16
1) Welcome to Central
a) We are in week 5 of our summer series 1x8
b) Hopefully you were handed a new journal today
c) Title: The Good Shepherd
2) Last week we saw Jesus say He is the gate
a) This is a role the shepherd would play for his sheep
b) Once we've entered the gate we experience the shepherd
c) John 10:11-16 ''I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep.

c) His brothers eventually come and live with the Egyptians
d) But this presents a clash of lifestyles
i) The Egyptians were farmers but Joseph's brothers were shepherds
ii) Genesis 46:31-34 ''Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, ''I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, 'My brothers and my ...
