In this powerful exploration of Psalm 23, we're invited to dive deep into the rich imagery of the Good Shepherd. This beloved psalm isn't just about comfort—it's a profound journey through life's ups and downs with God as our guide. We're challenged to ask ourselves: Do we truly know the Shepherd, or do we merely know about Him? The message emphasizes that real satisfaction comes from a personal relationship with God, not just head knowledge. As we navigate both green pastures and dark valleys, we're reminded that the Shepherd's presence is constant. His goodness and mercy pursue us relentlessly, offering comfort even in our darkest moments. This timeless psalm speaks to our deepest needs for security, guidance, and belonging, urging us to trust in God's leadership through all of life's seasons. This sermon was first preached August 17th, 2025 at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell.
