Pentecost Sunday

May 24th, 2026

This is Not the End of Your Story

  • How faith shows up in the small things
  • Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
  • What it means to trust God when it takes time
  • How gratitude can transform us
  • Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon this past Sunday, which is often known as Good Shepherd Sunday due to the sheep/shepherd references that are herd in John’s gospel:

“If the voice you’re hearing in your life today sounds like shame, fear, or exclusion…that is not the voice of the Good Shepherd”

– Pastor TJ Lynch
