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!
This Sunday, as we hear from and pray for the Narvesen family, we will be looking at Psalm 67 - a psalm that is often called "The Missionary Prayer." And through this psalm, we will ask the question, "Why do we 'do missions'?". And while the answer to that question often puts the focus on people, Psalm 67 puts the focus on God.
As we turn to the book of Romans this week, we are reminded of the human tendency to try to earn our righteousness through our works. We believe we can climb our way up to heaven. However, the news we receive in the Gospel is much better than that. The good news is that Jesus has come down to us, and the righteousness we need is the very righteousness he provides.
This Sunday we return to the Old Testament and the book of Isaiah. And through our text we are reminded that as human beings, we are all looking for something to satisfy us - something to meet our deepest hunger and thirst. However, nothing we work for or buy will actually meet that need. What we need is something that is totally free for us, but infinitely costly at the same time. Come join us at God's table of grace.
