Summary
Pastor Nick opens a three-week series on Psalm 23, focusing on verses 1–2: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." He establishes that God's role as shepherd expresses His authority and care over every aspect of our lives, and that only Jesus satisfies and brings peace like no one else—inviting listeners to experience spiritual rest in green pastures and still waters regardless of external chaos.
Highlights
God does everything for you in your life. You are not in control of your life, but Jesus, the shepherd, is in control of your life.
Only Jesus can satisfy your life. I've tried a lot of different things, a lot of different paths, a lot of different sins, and I've come back again and again to one simple truth: Jesus satisfies like no one else.
You don't have to change your location or destination for God to change your heart. In the midst of chaos, you can be at a place of green pastures and still waters.
