What's your favorite book? A novel you've read dozens of times? A biography of an important person from history? How about the Bible?

The Apostle Peter assures us of this fact and encourages us to devote ourselves to this wonderful gift: The Holy Scriptures. Message based on 2 Peter 1:12-21.

Who should I listen to? There are so many "voices" in the world, offering advice on a variety of topics. What job should I take? What diet should I follow? What books should I read?

Light of the Valleys Lutheran Church of Reno, NV invites you to listen to that voice today, as our Good Shepherd, Jesus, speaks to us in John 10:11-18.
