Welcome to all who are worshiping with us at the Dewey Community church this morning. May we all be grateful to God for the reminder that, for his children, worship is essential and not non-essential.

This Sunday's sermon will be available soon at www.deweychurch.org/listen.

If you are not already receiving DCC emails but would like to be, contact the church office at office@deweychurch.org.

Jesus: The Good Shepherd
John 10:11-21

Jesus, the Good Shepherd, desires that those who belong to him experience the fullness of life that only he can give. As we study this text, we discover 3 reasons Jesus’ followers can experience this fullness of life.

I. We can experience fullness of life because our Good Shepherd Lovingly Gave himself for us.

II. We can experience fullness of life because our Good Shepherd Intimately Relates to us.

III. We can experience fullness of life because our Good Shepherd Graciously Rules over us.
