This sermon reflects on Jesus as the Good Shepherd who offers abundant life—not as ease or comfort, but as a life of meaning, connection, and care. Using the story of Chris the sheep and the imagery of Psalm 23, Pastor Beth explores how life can quietly become heavy when we try to live independently or listen to the wrong voices. Because Christ is alive, the Shepherd is still calling, still gathering us into community, and still leading us into a life that is full, shared, and free.

Scripture is read by Bill Eddy.
