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 5:1-5

Jesus is the ‘One’ who provides for us a path to peace. In our text we discover that peace is found as we yield to Jesus as both our Ruler and our Shepherd.

I. Jesus, our Ruler, is the ‘One’ who arose out of Obscurity.

II. Jesus, our Ruler, is the ‘One’ who Serves God Faithfully.

III. Jesus, our Ruler, is the ‘One’ who is both Human and Divine.

Conclusion: And he will be their peace.
