“Weak Sheep, Strong Shepherd” - 5pm The River Service

Jun 14, 2026    The Rev. Billy Cerveny

This sermon teaches that Jesus calls every believer into His mission, not because they are exceptionally qualified, but because He shares His authority, purpose, and power with ordinary people who are willing to follow Him . It emphasizes that feelings of inadequacy and weakness are not obstacles to ministry but reminders that God’s work depends on the strength of the Shepherd rather than the abilities of the sheep. The message challenges Christians to see people not as problems to be fixed, but as lost sheep in need of a loving relationship with the Good Shepherd, just as they themselves once were. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to step into broken and hurting places with confidence, trusting that Christ’s power is made visible through their weakness as they participate in His kingdom work.
