The Shepherd's Church

The Holy Spirit is our Helper who was promised long ago, brings purpose into our live, and provides His ongoing presence so that we are never abandoned or forsaken. Join us as we explore who the Holy Spirit is and what His presence does in us!

In a world that is seeking to redefine love according to carnal definitions, what does it mean to love Jesus? And, once we love Him, what does that accomplish in our life? Join us as we explore the Grammar of love, the Gospel of love, and the Greater work we do in His love.

What does it mean to pray in Jesus' name? Is it an add-on to the end of our prayers? Is it a magic formula that ensures we get what we want? Or is it something different entirely? Join us as we discover what it means to pray in Jesus' name!

The Bible does not tell us to do our belief. Instead, we have been made into believers. Faith, obedience, and righteous living flows from our new identity not from more religious effort. Join us as we explore these concepts in John 14:12.

If we are going to know the Father, we must first know the Son. Yet, in our flesh we cannot come, we cannot know, and we cannot be known by Christ. It is only when God drags us to the Son, that we can know the Son and know the Father, which produces gratitude for all that Christ has done.

Join us as we welcome visiting paster, Andrew Smith, as he unpacks the Word for us this morning!

In order to inherit Jesus' life, we must first join Him in His death. Join us as we explore what Jesus' way, truth, and life is, and what that means for us.

Jesus came to die. From His birth, even from the first moments of creation, there was a straight line path carved out from Christ, that would take Him from the manger to the cross, from Eden to the garden tomb. Join us this Good Friday as we examine Christ's way.

When Christ said that He was going to go and prepare a place for us, He was using wedding language that a bridegroom would bounce to his future bride. Join us as we consider the truths of this passage and revel in what Christ has done for us!

When Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He tells them that He is going away to prepare a place for them. The place that Jesus was preparing was none other than a new and glorious temple. Join us as we explore what the temple is, why Jesus was replacing it, and why that is the best news ever!

As Jesus prepared His disciples for life without Him, He was preparing them for war. A fight for holiness, for purity, for the Kingdom to advance, and to fight in all aspects of life. Jesus gave His disciples three behaviors that would help them stay in the fight. Join us as we discuss those three behaviors this morning.

While God is never ultimately distant from His people, and while nothing can separate us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, there are times when our feelings do not line up with reality. Join us as we consider how to deal with, think about, and overcome our feelings. 

We tend to approach our lives like we are in control. But, what happens when God allows us to walk in shadows, allows us to faceplate for our good and for His glory? How will we respond then? Will we trust God and joyfully continue following Him? Join us as we examine John 13:36-38 as we dive into these things together. 

After Judas defects from the discipleship community, Jesus turns His focus onto encouraging His disciples and giving them assurance in Him. Join us as we examine five lines of assurance Jesus offers them and that He also offers us. 

God not only chooses His people, to ransom them into eternal life and to bring them into His blessings, but He also chooses those who will remain in their sins and be lost forever. While this is a difficult doctrine, as we will see today, it is in Scripture, and we must wrestle with. Join us as we look at the difficult doctrine of reprobation and see what John 13:18-30 teaches us. 

We often think about obligations as being things that take from us and drain us, instead of being things that bless us. Join us today as we examine the great blessings that Christ gives to those who obey Him. 

After the most astonish act of service ever committed on planet earth, Jesus takes His disciples through an after action report on what it is that He has done for them. In today's text, we will see who Jesus is, what He has done, and how He will call us to imitate Him in all things. 

When Jesus kneels down to wash His disciples feet, He is picturing so much more than Middle Easter hygiene. In that moment, He is showcasing the very heart of the Gospel and inviting us to drown in His purifying grace. 

When Christ pours out His love on us, He does so until the bitter end. He loved us all the way to the cross, He loves us in our trials and tribulations, and He loves us until we meet Him face to face in heaven. Join us today as we explore four vital things that the love of Christ does for us! 

How do Christians engage with culture? Join us as we examine Jesus' teaching on that very topic. 

What is the Biblical foundation for giving? How are we to think about our money? Join us for part 1 of this 2 part sermon addition to the True Church series. 

After waiting decades to see the fulfillment of the Scriptures, Simeon was confronted with the baby Christ in Jerusalem, and it not only changed his life, but it caused him to sing! Join us this Christmas as we examine Simeon's song and what it means for us today! 

On Christmas morning, the angels burst forth in glorious singing, written by God, sung over humble shepherds. Today, we join in that heavenly chorus and celebrate all Christ has accomplished for us! 

When Zacharias was confronted with the bigness and faithfulness of God, he doubted at first, but then got to see God move in an amazing way. While he began the narrative muted, he ends the narrative singing. May we join in with his song this season, praising God for who He is and all the wonderful things He has done!

When Mary's life is intersected with God's glorious plan, joy and song flooded into every aspect of her life. Join us as we consider one of the most famous songs in Scripture, Mary's song, the Magnificat.
