There’s no guarantee that we won’t encounter bad leaders, even when it’s happened before. How can we "get back on the horse" so to speak after having a painful experience. Today Pastor Steve concludes his message, "Good Shepherds," with an encouraging word about discerning types of leadership. There is a way to separate the genuine from the false. There are some great questions which will help you know whether a leader is God-appointed and good or self-appointed and harmful. If you need some encouragement and hope to get past a difficult past, stick around.

How do we know who to follow? How can we know who is a God-appointed leader? Today, Pastor Steve continues his message, "Good Shepherds," and explains the rich symbolism of the first century shepherding imagery that Jesus talks of in John chapter 9.

All of us have stories of people in spiritual leadership who abused the ones they were leading. It makes you wonder how can we trust leadership in a church.

He’s taking us to John chapter 9 and shows how Jesus answers this very question.

Being loyal can lead to much suffering.

If you are desiring a miraculous encounter with God that’ll change your life, be sure to stick around.

Today, Pastor Steve continues telling the story of the healing of the blind man. You would think it would be a time of great rejoicing and many people following Jesus.

Many people are caught in the blame game. Today, as Pastor Steve concludes his message, "Don’t Ask Why?," he’ll share how there’s a better way to react when things go wrong - the Jesus way.

I invite you to stick around as Pastor Steve takes us to the story in John chapter 9.
