Stewardship Snippet: March 1, 2020 (First Sunday in Lent)
​
Luke 14:11
Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’"
​
Even after 40 days of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus is able to resist Satan’s wiles by keeping a laser-sharp focus on what truly matters. Likewise, by stewarding our souls with intention, we connect deeply with God in ways that strengthen and equip us to follow Jesus.
Please Notice: Shepherd of the Hills has temporarily suspended all activities until April 1
