Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 9, 2022

Do we really know what it means to be sheep—even sheep of the Good Shepherd?

It is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. Christians set aside one Sunday in the Easter Season as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” We can understand why this practice has stood the test of time.

Unity In God’s Family

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 7, 2019

Jesus at Hanukkah distinguishes his work as the new temple from that of the Father. The Father and the Son's working together not only conveys their love and forgiveness to us, it also helps us work together and forgive amidst God's kingdom.

This has been a very helpful thing for our country. But this rugged individualism is misunderstood if we see community as a ...read more
