Shepherds


Luke 2:8-10

That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people."

Shepherds are written of throughout the Bible. King David was a shepherd boy, and God is referred to as our shepherd and we are His sheep. It is to the shepherds that the angels announced Jesus’s birth.

Cloverton is a Kansas-based band, sharing songs from a genuine place of faith and longing. Their take on Leonard Cohen's classic 1984 hit, "Hallelujah" is the latest in over 300 covers of the song - more than any other song in history. This may be one of the best yet, with lyrics you may not have heard before.

Why did Joseph’s brother throw him in the well?

Was God with Joseph?

In his life, did Joseph do things right?

We praise you for watching over us. We thank you for being with us in all circumstances.
