We can understand that this is a big part of the job for an actual shepherd of sheep because we know that wolves can come in to harm the sheep under the shepherd’s care.

FBC Gallatin, Last Easter I preached a sermon titled “Quick Easter Apologetics” to present the rock solid evidence of the resurrection to bolster our hope and confidence in the good news Gospel. And as we are going to be celebrating this good news once again this Easter I want to remind us all of some of these important proofs for the truthfulness of the resurrection because if the resurrection of Jesus actually happened, it changes everything for us and means that Christiani
