    The Flock

    The image of the church as a flock of sheep is perhaps the least flattering one in all of Scripture. This comparison goes back a long way, to God’s relationship with the Israelites and their leaders.

    The Importance of the Resurrection

    Thinking Spiritually, Part 2

    If spiritual thinking begins with considering eternal concerns (judgment, the character of God, “spiritual” treasure), what does it look like in practical, everyday terms? How should spiritual thinking manifest in this present, temporal life? Click Here to Listen. (Preaching through Luke. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on March 29, 2026.)
