Pastor Rick Wright's Update Copy

Have you ever felt cast out, misunderstood, or forgotten? In our day and age, this is more common than any of us care to admit. This week, we will look at a passage in John and how Christ does something beautiful for the outcast... He goes and finds them. That’s the heart of our Good Shepherd: He pursues forsaken sheep, even when others turn their backs.

And in those moments, Jesus doesn’t just find us, He pays for us. Unlike a hired hand who may run at the first sign of danger, Jesus laid down His own life to purchase and provide for His sheep. The best part about this is that once you’re His, you’re protected. You are spoken for. You are held in His hand. No one and nothing can snatch you away. That’s a Shepherd worth following!

Join us this week as we continue in our new series on The Seven I Ams: The Seven I Am statements of Jesus!
