When we make a mess of our lives by doing things we know we shouldn't, our first instinct is to try and cover it up. We get that notion from our first parents, Adam and Eve.

Listen to this sermon and discover the promise that God has provided the one cover-up for sin that will actually work.

Do you recognize the difference between the hired hand and the Good Shepherd? When the line between the two of them is blurred, we begin to look to the "hired hands" of our life to provide things for us that only the Good Shepherd can provide. This is problematic, especially because the hired hands are fickle and flighty, and can never provide the things they promise. So, how is the line between these two unblurred?
