Lord the Shepherd

Text: Psalm 23

Topic: The Lord is my Shepherd

Introduction: Today we are going to look at the 23rd Psalm. This is a favourite passage of many. Countless numbers of people throughout many generations have found hope in it in times of great fear and panic.

I. He knows me – Ps. 23: 1

II. He provides me – Ps. 23: 1-3a

III. He restores me – Ps. 23: 3a

IV. He guides me – Ps. 23: 3b

V. He protects me – Ps. 23: 4a

VI. He comforts me – Ps. 23: 4b

VII. He exalts me – Ps. 23: 5-6

Conclusion: May be there are some of you here today who haven’t fully experienced God’s shepherd care in your life yet and you might wonder why? I said in the beginning of this message that the Shepherd metaphor refers to God’s relationship with his covenant children.
