The Good Shepherd

Part 2: Who can I trust?

Text: John 10:7-10


We live surrounded by competing voices. They tell us what we should want, what success looks like, what will make us happy, who we should become, and what we should fear. These voices promise life, but Jesus says that not every voice leads to life. Some voices steal, kill, and destroy.  How do we know who we should trust? 

Whenever someone goes in the hospital, has a medical crisis, or health concern that the pastor and church need to know about please contact Sherri Appleby at 478-972-9775 for Gray or Chris Smarr at 478-447-2379 for Clinton.

A SPECIAL NOTE OF THANKS ON BEHALF OF KAY CUMMINGS:

I would like to thank everyone for their support of the Women In Mission yard sale! Whether it was through donation of items, working the set-up for the sale, or purchasing items, it was truly appreciated! You all made it a successful fundraiser that will benefit many!

A MESSAGE REGARDING THE 4:19 INITIATIVE:

I hope you're planning to join us this Sunday as we celebrate our starting point with The 4:19 Initiative. The number we'll celebrate represents prayer and obedience. It represents all the stories of sacrifice we've heard and the ones yet to be told. And it also represents commitment. We'll still be receiving cards throughout the two years of The 4:19 Initiative as God brings new people to our church and speaks to others. But I truly hope your commitment is part of our celebration this Sunday. The mission of 4:19 can only happen if we are all in together. If you want your sacrifice to be included this Sunday, please make sure to bring your commitment to our office no later than noon on Friday or fill out the digital commitment card below.
