Heritage Baptist Church

From the "The Heritage Herald"                   

John 10 is the chapter of the Good Shepherd.  In verse 11 Jesus says, "I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep."  Verse 28, "I give unto them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of my hand."  In verse 10, "I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

This is the heart of our message and ministry as a church.  In Matt. 9:36, "Jesus seeing the people, felt compassion for them because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd."  And there are many in our community who fit into that sad category.  We must share with them the good news that there is a Good Shepherd who will give them eternal and abundant life.  As we study, learn, worship, and fellowship together, may it all amount to our being more committed to make it known to others that there is real life in Jesus.
