    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 6, 2017
     | 10,645 views

    A message about the choice to proclaim the news of Christ's birth to the lowly shepherds. The sermon looks at how the shepherds were a foreshadowing of who the ministry of Jesus would focus on.

    OF COURSE IT WAS SHEPHERDS: We act like this was an inevitable part of the story, but it wasn’t. - Luke 2:8-12. - The Christmas story is so familiar that we presume that each part had to happen that way. “Of course the shepherds heard from the angels. It had to be like that.” Only it didn’t. ...read more

    Three Questions About Our Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 24, 2021
     | 2,566 views

    There is a lot in this passage. This message tries to boil it down to the big truths by asking three questions about our "good shepherd."

    - At one level, this is a simple passage: Jesus is the Good Shepherd. - At another level, this passage is not simply understood. There is conflicting imagery (how is Jesus the shepherd and the gate?). It is difficult to get all the pieces to fit cleanly. - I echo a little the sentiment of v. 6 ...read more

    In John 10 Jesus is talking about how He is the Good Shepherd and that He can lay His life down and pick it back up again. Why would a shepherd lay his life down? What good is a dead shepherd?

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 11, 2024
     | 983 views

    It’s not a small thing for Jesus’ followers to be scattered. He needs to gather us “so there will be one flock,” and even so there is “one shepherd.” Jesus cares for people all over the world. As one of His followers, do you care for people all over the world?

    Today, we conclude our week of praying for missions by fasting and praying. If your personal priorities were like favorites on your phone, what would be included? Like the saved numbers you place in your cell phone, what priorities would be included among your favorites? The care of your family, a ...read more

    There is a danger that we have become so familiar with the story of Jesus that we begin to think everyone is.

    What if no one told the Story? Luke 2:8-20 Surveys are done on just about every subject now.
