The heart of the Good Shepherd is to seek after, find and save lost sheep. Sheep are brought into the sheepfold through repentance.

In this message we deal with the under-shepherds who are apppointed by Christ the great Shepherd. In the scriptures we see that a disctinction is drawn between true and false shepherds. In this message we will look at the character, conduct and ministry of true shepherds who are to lead the flock, feed the flock and gaurd the flock.
