Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!
I can't help but say "Happy New Year!" It is officially 2025, and I am not sure what I think about that. I am the type of person who sets goals every year, and so in this season I reflect on the past year as well as look forward to the year ahead. I did not meet all my goals for 2024, but the goals keep me moving forward. As I suggested in last Sunday's sermon (and will likely suggest again this Sunday), let's set some goals for our walk with Jesus this year. These goals would likely involve forming habits like prayer, reading scripture, church involvement, or any number of other practices that help us as we learn to follow Jesus. If following Jesus is important to us, let's make it a priority and give it some attention. Last Sunday we considered Psalm 23, the blessedness of living with the Lord as our shepherd. Let's learn to live with Him as our shepherd.
This Sunday we will consider another scripture, this time from the New Testament, concerning the Lord as our Shepherd. In John 10, Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd."

Prayer: from Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
