On Good Shepherd Sunday (April 26, 2026), we explore John 10:1–10 in light of Ezekiel 34:2–10 and Psalm 23.

In this passage, Jesus confronts false shepherds and reveals Himself as both the Good Shepherd and the Gate, the one who leads, protects, and gives life to the full.

But the question at the center of it all is simple and personal:

Do you know the voice of the Shepherd?

As followers of Jesus, we are constantly faced with competing voices, temptations, distractions, and false promises. This sermon calls us to recognize His voice, flee from the stranger, and walk in obedience to the One who leads us into true life.

Good Friday service at Trailmark Amentity Center. 4/3/2026

Based on John 19

On Good Friday, we remember the cross not just as a symbol, but as the place where Jesus accomplished what we never could.

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” he wasn’t declaring defeat; he was declaring that the work of redemption was complete.

In this message, we reflect on the physical reality of the cross, the meaning of tetelestai, and what it means to live as people whose debt has been fully paid.

When Samuel went to anoint the next king of Israel, he assumed the obvious candidate would be the strongest, tallest, and most impressive man in the room. But God had something else in mind.

In 1 Samuel 16, God reminds Samuel—and us—that human beings tend to judge by outward appearance, while God looks at the heart. The next king of Israel wouldn’t come from the obvious place. He wouldn’t be the strongest warrior or the most impressive leader. Instead, God chose David—a young shepherd boy who wasn’t even invited into the room.

This passage challenges our assumptions about leadership, power, and what truly matters to God. In a world obsessed with appearance, achievement, and strength, God is looking for something different: surrendered hearts.

In this sermon, we explore:
• Why our perception of people can be so misleading
• What God actually looks for in those He uses
• The difference between Saul’s pride and David’s surrender
• How Lent invites us to examine our own hearts before God

God doesn’t choose and empower people because of outward strength—but because of hearts surrendered to Him.
