Worship for Apr 30, 2023: God, our Shepherd

It’s good to be reminded that God is our shepherd, leading us to still waters and helping us along on our path. Today Pastor Russ Gordon guides us through what it means to be the shepherd, and what it means to be, …well… the sheep. What’s more, when the shoe is on the other foot and God calls on us to be shepherds to a particular flock, can we be ready to answer the call?

Our Bible passages today (click to follow along): Psalm 23 and John 10:1-10.

Sermon Note: The pastor’s sermon refers to the Darien Gap, an inhospitable jungle region along the border of Columbia and Panama. Many migrants travel through this area hoping to reach the United States or Canada. For more information, search for “Darien Gap” on your favorite news site. (Here is a link to many sources on Google News.) Here’s a podcast episode on the subject as well: The Daily: A Mother, a Daughter, a Deadly Journey.
