Personal Reflection & Small Group Questions

Please complete this study on your own, then bring it to your small group for discussion.

1. Looking back over your notes from this week’s sermon and text, what particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?

2. Who is someone you trust implicitly—someone you believe would truly risk their own safety to protect you from harm?

3. How does Jesus demonstrate His care for His followers? 

4. What methods does Jesus use to bring back those who have strayed (His lost sheep)? 

5. What was the feeling or impression you had when you heard this message (The Shepherd's voice)? What is our responsibility in communicating this message, which is the voice of The Shepherd?

6. It is a great blessing to be guided by the Shepherd. Please take a moment to pray for the salvation of those who have not yet come to know Jesus personally, that they may join God's flock.
