Message: “7 Lessons From A Shepherd”

This week we continue our advent series by looking at the story of the shepherds, the first people to see Jesus and the first to tell the world about Him. In preparation for Sunday, read Luke 1-2:20 (or at least 2:8-20). As you meditate on the story you’ll discover much more than initially meets the eye. This story offers a variety of keys to the Christian life, as relevant as ever 2,000 years later.
