Welcome to All Saints!
We are a dynamic and compassionate community of faith seeking to know the truth of God in Christ and the courage to act for the good of God’s kingdom. We believe that all people are made in God’s image, and are therefore welcome to the fellowship of this place.
The theme that runs through our readings today is the shepherd who takes care of the sheep. We see this shepherd in the 23rd Psalm, “The Lord is my shepherd.” We see it in the New Testament reading from the book of Revelation, “for the lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd.” And we see it throughout the tenth chapter of John’s gospel, where Jesus says “I am the good shepherd…” Why do we add the adjective “good” to shepherd? Shepherd is usually used in scripture as a metaphor for “king,” and there are many places in the Old Testament—the Jewish Bible—where the shepherds—the kings—of the nation Israel have not been good.
