God Seeking Us (Cadet Sunday)

Many times in the Bible, God is described as a shepherd.  Right from the earliest writings of the Hebrew Bible to the end of the New Testament this picture of God as a shepherd is repeated over and over again. 

A shepherd does a lot of things for and with the sheep, provides food and shelter, protection and healing. The shepherd business, focus, is on the wellbeing of the sheep. The sheep don't always seem to know this, don't seem to recognize this love of their shepherd, or maybe they are just dumb, and wander away from the flock. The shepherd goes out to look for these wandering sheep.

That's the picture the Cadets have been looking at over this past year around their theme: God Seeking Us. This Sunday, our boys will be part of the service as we explore the picture of God as our shepherd.
