Message title: “Good Shepherds?”. The image of the shepherd is an indelible image in the human imagination. The metaphor and image of Jesus as The Good Shepherd is also strongly rooted the Christian imagination. In the Gospel of John chapter 10, the main place this image comes from, the text IS NOT, as most people think, only about believers being the sheep that Jesus cares for. Mostly, it is about religious leaders being asked to examine themselves: Are they Good Shepherds . . . or are they thieves and wolves! And this leads to an even more important question for us today. With so many versions of Christianity out there, who is right?

Message title: “Look for the Markers”. Focusing on the text in Luke 24:13-35 known as “On the Road to Emmaus”, the message encourages us to not miss the markers of God’s presence with us while all find ourselves on this strange kind of journey.
