    This is all about getting to know the Shepherd and how to identify the things in life that drown out the voice of Christ... And hopefully it can help us learn to Listen to Jesus

    John 10:27 – "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." Have you ever tried to have a conversation in a noisy room?

In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more
