In a world that reduces us to data points and ticket numbers, Jesus offers something radically different: a shepherd who knows each sheep by name and lays down his life for them. This Ash Wednesday message explores the tension between our mortality and God's relentless love. As we receive ashes and acknowledge we are dust, we also hear the shepherd's voice calling us by name. The good shepherd doesn't wait for lost sheep to find their way home—he goes out, seeks them, and leads them to green pastures. Whether you're feeling invisible in the crowd or searching for a faith that truly sees you, this message invites you to experience the personal, pursuing love of Jesus. Join us as we begin our Lenten journey together.
