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 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.
This week we have the privilege of having Dan Venberg (Director of Lutheran Brethren International Missions) bring us God's Word. Dan will be preaching from Matthew, chapter 13, and reminding us of the treasure we have in Christ and in His Word.
