Fourth Sunday of Easter
John 10:22-30
“The Good Shepherd”
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Second Sunday of Easter, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “The Good Shepherd”. We will be reading from John 10:22-30 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 23.
Call to Worship, Psalm 23
Leader: The Lord is my shepherd
People: I shall not want.
Leader: He makes me lie down in green pastures;
People: He leads me beside still waters;
Leader: He restores my soul.
People: He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Leader: Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
People: I fear no evil, for you are with me;
Leader: Your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
People: You prepare a table before me,
Leader: In the presence of my enemies;
People: You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Leader: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
People: All the days of my life.
Leader: And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
People: My whole life long.
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, Jesus talks about holding his sheep in his hand.
How does that image comfort you?
What does it say about the power of God?
