My Friend,
Happy New Year!
To kick off the New Year, I wanted to share a new free resources I created to share with The Body of Christ which is, a simple read through The Gospels in 40 Days guide.
My Friend,
Anxiety and depression are definitely a battle that can wage war for our minds and hearts. It can be crippling sometimes and we need to remember that it's not a battle we can face alone. We need God, His Word, His Holy Spirit, and His people to overcome any anxiety, depression or anything. When He says cast all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you, (see 1 Peter 5:7) He means it. When He says come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden, and He will give you rest, (see Matthew 11:28-30) He means it. But the question remains...do we actually do these things are do we try to carry these burdens alone? Speaking from my own experience and witnessing the experience of others, while our anxiety or depression may drive us to run from God and His Word, as follower's of Christ we need to learn to train ourselves to run to God and His Word.
Hey Friend,
May you always remember where your help comes from. 🙏🏼 Please listen to this brief message.Dear Friend,
Has The Church replaced Israel? Please listen to this brief message about replacement Theology which is a 100% false teaching.Hello Friend,
I'm excited to share a new scripture image I put together from Psalm 121:12 to share with you for your use as a phone wallpaper image if you'd like. You can download and use the image without change for your personal phone wallpaper.
Please take time to read, study, and take to heart, Psalm 121:1-2 for starters.
Also, I've included the previous wallpaper image I created from Psalm 27:1 in case you missed it.
Thank you for your contribution of these beautiful background images! They are a perfect backdrop of these scriptures!

My Friend,
No matter what you face each day, let me encourage you to make prayer a priority. Make it your first response and not an afterthought.My Friend,
My Friend,
My hope is that none of us has to hit rock bottom in order to discover that God truly is our Rock.
I pray that no matter where you are today in life, that you rest in the truth that He alone is your Rock no matter what!
He is your firm and true foundation, so seek Him as your foundation and trust Him as your foundation.
Take time to read, study, and take to heart Matthew 7:24-27, Ephesians 2:19– 21, and 1 Peter 2:6 for starters.
You are in my prayers. Please pray for me as well. 🙏🏼

Hello Friend!
As a follow-up to my last communication, at long last, here are the February - July Memory Verse for our Romans Road theme:
Hello and thank you for visiting the A Shepherd's Heart Website!
How are you doing? I hope you are well!
I've been giving thought to the typical monthly memory verse(s) that I share and I thought it would be good to do something slightly different in 2023.
Instead of a different theme and verse or verses each month, I thought it would be good to focus the next six months on one theme which is sharing your faith via memorizing the verses around The Romans Road.
What's The Romans Road? Some of you may be familiar with it already but just in case you aren't, it's a simple tool that can help you explain The Gospel using verses from the book of Romans which is comprised of Six Pillars of Truth drawing from a group of six verses from The Book of Romans.
To get us started, here are the February to July memory verses: (We'll memorize something else August - December)
Image Only: https://mcusercontent.com/2397c7127b3505c0de92b4410/images/a0c06cba-6b75-af9c-b70f-60c758bc47c0.png
I'll be following up in the days to come with additional information and at the end, I'll send you a one page Romans Road handout that you can fold and tuck away in your Bible as a ready resource when God gives you an opportunity to share faith.
As always, I recommend you memorize scripture using a good word for word translation such as the ESV or another translation.
Let me know how I can be praying for you.

My Friend,
For our November scripture memorization, I've suggested Psalm 9:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 118:28-29, and Psalm 136:1-3, which are just a few of the many that remind us about thankfulness and gratitude to The King Of Kings and Lord of Lords.
My Friend,
For our October scripture memorization, I've suggested Psalms 28:7, Psalm 46:10, Matthew 11:28-30, and Proverbs 3:5-6, as they remind us that our strength and sufficiency, and who we are is found in Him. So, we can cease striving, trust in Him, lean on Him and His understanding instead of ourselves alone.
My Friend,
For our September scripture memorization, I've suggested John 14:6 and Acts 4:12 as they remind us that there is only One Way that we can be saved and that is through Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross. There are not many pathways to heaven, He is the only way!
You'll notice that following the verses is a list of some basic themes/topics.
I've included those suggestions as I learned many years ago that having at least one theme or topic in mind when you memorize scripture helps you store them in memory and as you have conversations with others in the future, I can guarantee that as those themes/topics come up, the scripture you've memorized will also come to mind and you may share encouragement from God's Word or re-encourage yourself!
May you continue to abide in God's Word through reading, studying, memorization and living it out as vital keys to our growth.
Have fun with scripture Memorization! Don't stress about it! And, as always, be in The Word and stay in The Word!
You're in my prayers and please reach out if you need any tips.
Your Brother and Servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch
