John 10:1-15
Get to Know
One of the marks of a disciple of Christ is that they “know the voice” of the good shepherd. In a culture of discipleship this looks like discerning the difference between the truth and the lie…between the one who wants to take it all and the One who gave it all in order to have us.

PRAYER
Father, bless and praise you, the Son, and Spirit for our great salvation. Our sins are forgiven and our home is in heaven and as we live on the earth, just passing through, you will be with us guiding us and empowering us to do your wonderful will. Father bless the sick and afflicted with healing, especially our brothers and sisters in the faith among us. And Father we need specific space, buildings to gather in for worship and buildings to gather in for teaching our children the glorious gospel of Jesus. We’ve saved money to initiate such a venture, but we need cooperation from the city and the county with permission to begin. Please work that out for us. Thanks Lord. Now bless our elders and deacons as they lead and love us on mission with you in these days. In Jesus name! Amen
