On Sunday we celebrate the fourth Sunday of Easter. Our readings will include Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23, 1 Peter 2:19-25, and John 10:1-10. We hear in Acts of the loving community that sprang up in the early church, and in John the comforting words of Jesus as he describes himself as the "Good Shepherd." We are assured that "his sheep hear his voice."
As members of the Christian Church, we are those sheep. We are supposedly able to hear the voice of Jesus leading and guiding us. It's his voice that calls us together to break bread, to fellowship, and to worship joyfully. Why then do so many Christians struggle with knowing what to do and which path to take as they follow the Lord? What is it that deafens our ears to the voice of our master?
Sunday is the Lord's day, and I pray you chose to worship with us. My prayer is that you will know God's blessing as you encounter Jesus as we worship in Spirit and in Truth.
Faithfully,
Becki+
