GOD LOVES the OUTCAST! Some of the BIGGEST OUTCASTS IN THE WORLD at the time Jesus was born were the shepherds of Israel. Our story today is from the Gospel of Luke, where we will learn about a group of shepherds who were considered OUTCASTS IN SOCIETY. In this Bible story we are going to see that GOD LOVES the OUTCAST... even those WITH NO FRIENDS! GOD WANTS TO BE THEIR FRIEND AND YOUR FRIEND TOO!
