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.

The Shepherd of Micah: Our Source of Peace, Part 2
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 Shepherd, is the 'One' who Stands among us and Shepherds us.

II. Jesus, our Shepherd, is the 'One' who acts in Yahweh's Strength and in His Name.

Conclusion: And He will be their peace.
