"Stress & Challenges of Life"
We are all sheep in His flock
Life is not random, God has a plan for each of us.
Psalm 23: David wrote "How much free will do we have?"
Luther wrote about having God versus Satan on our back.
"Why are we selfish & materialistic?"
"Why do we find it hard to forgive others?"
"Why are we so judgemental?"

What Happens After Easter?
Jesus comes to us in our doubts and in our struggles.
He calms our fears and meets us wherever we are.

He asks us to love care for and protect His sheep.
