It's Better When You're Here!

Last week, as we began our Defined series, we talked about the hope we have in Jesus Christ—and how that hope is not something we simply hold onto for ourselves. It is something we actively share with the world. At...

We are coming out of a series on evangelism, where we have talked about what it means to share good news in a world that desperately needs it. And now, we are turning the question inward. What defines us? At Shepherds...

This is our final week in this series on Evangelism , and I hope over these last few weeks we’ve learned a little more about what it actually means to be an evangelist—what it means to tell good news in a world that...

ast week, I shared with you the crazy vision I believe God has given us for Shepherds: a network of churches, never larger than 300 people, connected across neighborhoods by one common message—the Love, Light, and Hope...

Welcome to a brand-new series here at Shepherds: Evangelism. I think evangelism is having a bit of an identity crisis. On one side, we see people shouting on street corners or commandeering the attention of an entire...

Today we come to the final week of our People of Prayer series—and this series has challenged me. Prayer takes the faith of our minds and hearts and brings it into our everyday lives. For some of us, it takes something...

Last week, we talked about our true identity and why it really matters. I said often that who you are—who you truly are—matters to God. This week, I want to zoom out a little. Because who we are does not only matter...

The Summer at the Movies sermon series has begun, and it is always one of my favorites. It gives us the chance to dive deeply into our faith while also giving us permission to laugh, wonder, and hold lightly some...

It's my privilege to serve as the summer pastoral intern here at Shepherd's. This season has given me the opportunity to learn and grow alongside our incredible staff, and it has also given me the chance to spend a lot...

It's Father's Day, a day when we celebrate not only our dads but also one of the many ways Scripture speaks about God—as Father. But here at Shepherds, it's also Pie + Tea Sunday. Why Pie + Tea? Well, because one Sunday...
