Have you ever felt like someone else was loved more than you — by a parent, a friend, or even by God? That feeling of comparison and competition can quietly distort how we see ourselves and how we relate to others. This week's study invites us to examine what God's Word says about the true nature of His love — and how receiving it fully transforms the way we love the people around us.

Everyone experiences failure yet we tend to fear and to avoid failing at any cost. Failure can cause us to feel embarrassed or vulnerable and—if we’re not careful—can even shape our identity. What if failure creates opportunities, you would otherwise miss? What if failure is part of God’s plan for us to grow into the people, he wants us to be? This weekend, we can reframe failure and discover how failure can become an indispensable teacher for us.

As we start our summer series, we are looking at how Jesus’ love leads us to action. The blessings of God are not meant to be kept to ourselves but instead shared with everyone around us. We will look at two illustrations that Jesus gives in The Sermon On The Mount that will help guide us as we share the goodness of God with those around us.

Psalm 23 ends with a sure and certain declaration of truth just as it began with a powerful statement of faith. As we’ve journeyed through this prayer song together, we’ve surveyed not only the landscape for sheep but different seasons of life. In the final verse we find reassuring truth about God, a strong call to action for us, and a look ahead to our eternal home.

Joy could be one of the most confusing aspects of God’s character and elusive aspects of a life of following Jesus. Sometimes we experience deep sorrow and disappointment, but we never need to lose our sense of joy. However, we also have an enemy who seems to tirelessly work to steal away our joy. When we live out of God’s blessing, unflinching welcome to us, and constant care—we can discover a pervasive sense of joy in every moment.

No one wants to walk through the darkest valley. In life, our Good Shepherd always leads us through those places. In those shadowed experiences of life, our fear comes alive but so can our faith. The dark valley paths of our life journey often help us learn more about ourselves and our God, as we encounter his protective presence and his parental correction. This weekend, we can remember a few reasons we never need to be afraid.

A good shepherd restores and renews sheep who have been cast down. Our Good Shepherd finds us and leads us on toward restoration through the moments of life when we’ve been cast down. Jesus’ plan for all things in this world is to restore everything that has been damaged or broken. We look to him for hope and guidance to make all things new.

What is something we all need but never seem to have enough of? Peace. Running through the words of Psalm 23 is a deep seem of peacefulness. Whatever chaos may surround us, peace is always available to us. This weekend, we want to move toward peace, even if we are unable to leave our problems behind us. Our Shepherd always leads us toward peace.

What uncertainty or even chaos do you feel in life? Psalm 23 returns our attention to the sure truths we can hold onto at every moment.

Life is complicated. We juggle relationships across family, work, school, church, and everything in between, all while trying to grow, succeed, and find meaning. Tension builds externally through misunderstandings and competing priorities. Additionally, tension builds internally when we use others to shape our identity instead of God. In Galatians, Paul confronts this very struggle. Without his strong message, they may have continued in destructive patterns—and if we’re not careful, so might we.
