Is The Lord Your Shepherd

Contributed by Christopher Nerreau on Mar 10, 2005

In the 23rd Psalm we see David reflecting upon his life from the Green Pastures of his youth to the valley of the shadow of death(which was not far off). He notes one common theme namely that the Lord was his shepherd, today can we say the same thing?

Is The Lord My Shepherd? Psalm 23 ORIENTATION: • Have you ever taken a moment to reflect upon your life? • To simply stop what you are doing, be quite and reflect? • For some of us maybe this is too difficult (the hurts to great, and pain to unbearable) for others impossible (especially if ...read more

Was America Blessed Or Just Lucky?

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 13, 2021

Any Other Gospel Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 3, 2011

Without attention and energy, we humans will default back to our flesh pleasing ways even after coming to Jesus. That's where the lie of legalism is so pervasive. Paul begins his battle against legalism by contrasting human achievement with grace.

We humans love to accomplish things. It’s so we can tell whether we are a success or not. This is also true when it comes to pleasing God. “Lord, I prayed and read your Word for an hour today.” “Father, I refrained from clobbering that guy who cut in front of me.” We ...read more
