Welcome to all who are worshiping with us at the Dewey Community church this morning. May we all be grateful to God for the reminder that, for his children, worship is essential and not non-essential.

This Sunday's sermon will be available later this week at www.deweychurch.org/listen.

If you are not already receiving DCC emails but would like to be, contact the church office at office@deweychurch.org.

Micah 2:12-13

As Christians, we have hope because our heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, continue to show up for the blessing of their people. In Micah’s first message of hope found in Micah 2:12-13, we are pointed to the One who is our source of hope in these days.

I. Our Source of Hope: A Shepherd who Cares for us.

II. Our Source of Hope: ‘The Breaker’ who Delivers us.
