This week we introduced our winter series Parables: Stories of Christ. Parables are the sermon illustrations Jesus used to help fishermen and farmers understand the theology of the Kingdom. By putting the known next to the unknown, Jesus’ parables fulfilled prophecy, separated followers from fans, and revealed truth in powerful ways. As we study the parables in their cultural and historical context, the stories come alive and are more easily understood and applied. Join us for the next 7 weeks as we dive into the parables of Jesus!
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
