Whether you are a lifelong member or a newcomer, when you come through the doors of Good Shepherd Church our prayer is that you are made to feel like family. As forgiven people, living in the grace of God, we want more and more people to experience the joy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We hope to see you this Sunday!
On Palm Sunday, as Jesus entered Jerusalem to the sounds of praise from the people, they didn't know the full purpose for which Jesus was coming. He was a King coming to serve them through His sacrifice. As we get into the twelfth chapter of 1 Corinthians, we see that the church didn't know the full purpose of the spiritual gifts they were given. Join us as we are reminded that our spiritual gifts are meant to be used in service, rather than for our own benefit.
In Chapter 11 of First Corinthians, Paul teaches the Christians in Corinth the importance of the table. He especially addresses the celebration at the table of The Lord's Supper or communion, as we often call it. This teaching is important for us as we celebrate the Lord's Supper and as we use the power of the Table for the health of the Church and the advance of the Gospel.
As we get into the next section of 1 Corinthians, Paul begins to focus on some issues involving the worship gatherings within the church.
Some of their practices were causing confusion, misunderstanding, and division. To combat this, Paul reminds the Corinthians that God is a God of order. And that order involves sacrificial leadership as well as willing submission - two traits we see in Christ himself. Join us as we gather in worship and bring glory to God.
