Also, everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the word of God with boldness. 32 The whole group of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they held everything in common. 33 The apostles continued to testify about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ with great power, and abundant grace was on all of them 10:20 PSALM – HYMN 360 “The Lord’s My Shepherd” 13:22 SECOND LESSON - 1 John 3.1-2 1 See the kind of love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are! The world does not know us, because it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, we are children of God now, but what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he is revealed we will be like him, and we will see him as he really is. 13:55 VERSE OF THE DAY 14:48 GOSPEL – John 10.11-18 11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired man, who is not a shepherd, does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. 13 Because he works for money, he does not care about the sheep. 14 “I am the Good Shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me 15 (just as the Father knows me and I know the Father). And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I also have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17 This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it up again. This is the commission I received from my Father.” 16:07 HYMN 375 “The King of Love My Shepherd Is” 20:10 SERMON “Jesus, the Good Shepherd Gives His Life to Give us Life” John 10.11-18 37:24 APOSTLES’ CREED 38:24 PRAYER OF THE CHURCH 40:13 LORD’S PRAYER 40:45 HYMN 436 “Jesus, Shepherd of the Sheep” 43:00 O Lord God, our heavenly Father… and BLESSING 43:59 HYMN 432 “I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb” 46:26 End of service, Pastor’s message 47:00 UPCOMING SCHEDULE AND BULLETIN ANNOUCEMENTS Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1970 Edmonson Ave NE, Buffalo MN 55313 extends a warm welcome for you to visit us in person, and to visit our website and Facebook page.
