Are His Priorities Your Priorities?
My Friend,
Life is full of priorities but let me ask you: Are God's priorities your priorities? Please take a few minutes to listen to this brief message.Tuesday, September 10, 2024
What you should mean when you say Amen. 🙏🏼
The Hebrew word translated as "Amen" means "so be it" or "truly".
"Amen" is also found in the New Testament and has the same meaning in the original Greek language.
We're putting our trust in His sovereignty and essentially saying, "So be it" or "So let it be", trusting God to hear our prayers and asking Him to grant our requests according to His will as we pray in faith and according to His will be done...not our own.
Watch this short video: https://youtube.com/shorts/irYB5bp69mQ
May we purpose to pray often and strive to Agree with God, Move with God, begin and end with God, and never doubt Him!
May we really mean Amen, when we pray or in agreement to His Truths!
When you say AMEN, may you agree with God, move with God, end with God, and may you never doubt God! 🙏🏼 🙌
And...all God's people said, AMEN!
You're in my prayers. 🙏🏼

Welcome To A Shepherd's Heart!
My Friend,
Welcome to A Shepherd's Heart!
Please listen to this brief message and then please read the below information. 🙏🏼
Here is what A Shepherd's Heart is about:
Who We Are:
A Shepherd’s Heart is a non-denominational discipleship and encouragement ministry founded by Randolph Koch.
Our Mission:
This ministry exists and our mission is to come alongside the church with the goal to encourage God’s people to grow in maturity in Christ as they live life on purpose for His kingdom and glory. (Read: Colossians 1:28-29, Matthew 28:16-20. John 15:4-5, John 8:31-32)
And, as part of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20), this includes pointing people to Him that have not experienced His love, forgiveness, and salvation yet.
We strive to create biblical and practical resources such as: written, audio, and video resource creation including articles, blog posts, devotionals, web, tools, and social media communications. Currently have 5 YouVersion Bible app specific devotionals published in the app and website (hope to publish more soon).
We serve the body of Christ including but limited to discipleship, pastoral care, prayer, Biblical council, teaching, preaching and have a huge heart to serve and build up shepherds who are on pastoral staff.
Thank you for the honor of serving you!
You are in my prayers. Please pray for me as well.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

Happy Independence Day!
My Friend,
Happy Independence Day my friends!
This is a great day to remind ourselves to never take our freedom for granted! Freedom came at a great price! I'm Thankful to all who laid the groundwork for the USA to become a nation.
No matter how many in the USA complain about their nation, the USA still affords them many freedoms that many people don't have in other countries. If you live in the USA, let's stop for a moment and give thanks and celebrate what is still a great nation! Let's not take our freedoms for granted!
Also, no matter where you live, If you are in Christ, don't ever take your freedom in Christ for granted either!
Your freedom came at a great price as Jesus sacrificed it all so you can have salvation and freedom from the bondage and wages of sin!
Freedom in Christ doesn't have to be renewed each day because he paid for your freedom in full, but, we definitely need to daily walk in the new life He's given us and again never take His sacrifice for granted!
God has truly shed His grace upon us! Let's praise His mighty name for His love, goodness, mercy and grace!
2 Corinthians 3:17 - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Again, Happy Independence Day - The 4th of July my friends!

Randolph Koch

The Importance of Perseverance.
My Friend,
It's no doubt that God uses our hard season of trials and battles for His glory, and for our growth and good, but what if He has you and I go through things not only for us, but also for the benefit of others too? God may use our trials to help others navigate their own trials by watching us! They will watch and see how we, (however imperfectly) persevere and prayerfully display an unwavering faith through whatever we face in life.Tuesday, March 19, 2024
