"Savior, like a shepherd, lead us, much we need thy tender care; in thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use thy folds prepare. We are thine, do thou befriend us, be the Guardian of our way; keep thy flock, from sin defend us, seek us when we go astray."

Welcome

We at the Tulare Missionary Baptist Church appreciate your interest in our church. We realize that our nation is literally awash with churches and other places of worship. We are a friendly group of Christians. However, friendliness alone should not be the criteria used to decide to visit a church. The members of this church seek to honor and serve the Lord Jesus Christ through understanding and obedience to His holy Word. If you are seeking an understanding of the Word of God so that you might better serve Him, you have come to the right place!

We would be delighted should you come to worship the Lord together with us. Again, thank you for stopping by!

The Book of Joshua

We have been following the steps of Jesus as He interacted with the religious people of His day. As always, He went about doing good and this drove the religious people crazy.

Today, as we examine John chapter 10, we will see a tremendous contrast between the religious and Jesus. This chapter of Scripture contains a parable about a Shepherd and His sheep. Of course, the 23rd Psalm is one of the most loved texts in the Bible. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and cares greatly for His sheep. However, the hireling does not love; to him it is simply a job.

The very clear difference between the Good Shepherd and the hireling (religion) is that the Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. The hireling will run from danger and leave the sheep to the wolves. Truly, blessed are those who can say, The Lord Is My Shepherd."
