Summary
Psalm 23 reveals God as the good shepherd who is a provider, guide, and comforter to His people. The sermon explains how trusting God's wisdom, timing, and sovereign purpose—even through dark valleys—produces unwavering hope. Jesus Christ fulfills this promise as the perfect shepherd and substitute, securing eternal hope for all who believe.
Highlights
If God's guidance in your life is primarily for your happiness, then the times of pain and suffering in your life are not only cruel, but profoundly meaningless. But if God's guidance in your life is primarily for his glory, then even the hardest moments of life have profound purpose.
The bedrock of our hope is that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, we walk through every circumstance in life with the confidence that because God did not withhold his son, goodness and mercy will follow us every day of our lives.
God's goodness and steadfast love will follow us forever. Therefore, we're freed from the bondage of self enhancement.
