Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1Pet.5:8

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Jn.10:10
2. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Jn.10:11
3. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep.
So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.
Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. Jn.10:12
4. I am not owner of the sheep! God is owner of the sheep!
I am a God's humble chosen servant!
5. I found great pleasure and honor to defend all Lord’s sheep!
As long as I am the preacher, no wolf dares come near the Lord’s sheep!
6. Let me repeat this one! I do not own the sheep! All sheep belong to God!
I am a humble servant of God! I take great pleasure and honor to defend the Lord’s sheep!
C. There are false Bible teachers! 2Thes.2:1-12

5. To church of Christ elders Apostle Paul said these:
(1) Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.
(2) Be shepherds of the church of Christ, which he bought with his own blood.
(3) I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Ac.20:28-29
(4)Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
6. About 500 years later this happen in Rome among the Jews and Italian believers!
7. Apostle Peter wrote: Paul writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters.
His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort,
as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 2Pet.3:16
D. There are lazy people! 2Thes.3:1-15
1. These people are lazy in help do the Lord’s work!

5. Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ,
that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 2Thes.3:12

Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel ashamed. 2Thes.3:14
