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!
As Paul continues to speak into the area of spiritual gifts, he confronts the Corinthian church about their unhealthy elevation of the gift of tongues. They had taken a good thing and made it an ultimate thing, which is a bad thing. Instead, Paul calls the church to convict, build up, and encourage through prophesy - the loving and understandable proclamation of God's living and active Word.
This Sunday, as we celebrate Confirmation Sunday, our students will be sharing what they've learned over the last two years. They will answer questions in the following areas: the Bible, the Ten Commandments; the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Sacraments. Please pray for the students as they take this next step in their journey of faith.
This week we find ourselves in "The Love Chapter" of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13. However, as we read these verses in the context of the rest of Paul's letter, they feel more like a rebuke than a wedding message. Through this beautiful passage, we are reminded of what love is; what love isn't; and who it is who loves perfectly. Come worship Him this Sunday!
