Within the animal kingdom, there are those who are predators and those who are prey. Unfortunately for sheep, they tend to find themselves on the dinner menu of many other animals. This is why it is so important for them to have a “Good Shepherd” watching over them as they are out to pasture. Listen today as Pastor Bob talks about how Jesus is our “Good Shepherd” and how He is constantly caring for us.
Two thousand years ago when Jesus physically walked the earth, shepherds were a common part of life in society. In John chapter 10, Jesus gives his listeners an illustration of the Good Shepherd and His sheep to describe the kind of relationship He would have with His people. Listen today as Pastor Bob gives the 1st sermon of a three part series about Jesus being our “Good Shepherd”.
Suffering is a part of life, but I think we would all agree that it’s never fun! In fact, oftentimes we are left wondering why, if God loves us, there so much suffering in our lives, as well as in the world? Listen today as Pastor Bob discusses this difficult subject in His study through John 9:1-12.
Some people call Jesus a good teacher, others a prophet, but believing Christians know that He is God who came in the flesh to offer forgiveness for our sins and salvation to all who would come to believe in His name. Listen today as we open up to John 8:48-59 and Pastor Bob talks about Jesus as the great “I AM”
One of the common things I hear people say is that they believe in a god, but that they don’t believe in Jesus as being the only way to God. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. What these people don’t realize is who they are really serving with that belief. Listen today as Pastor Bob, opens up to John 8:42-47 and discusses someone who desires us to worship him instead of our Father-in-Heaven.
This month we had the honor of celebrating our Country’s birthday and the freedom that we all enjoy as American Citizens, on July 4th . Freedom is something that we should never take for granted, as we remember the sacrifices of all of those who came before us to insure we could have the kind of lives that we have today. Having this said, the real freedom we enjoy comes from the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Listen today as Pastor Bob discusses the truth that sets us all free.
