    What a fantastic Pslam! This is a short talk using illustrations from shepherding, and the experience of an evangelist in hospital.

    King David, the author of Psalm 23, trained as a shepherd. He knew exactly what it meant to care for, tend, feed and protect a flock of sheep. So when he wrote this Psalm I can picture him meditating on his own experiences, and realising that God was in them. Now I don’t know about you but ...read more

    If you want the calm of this psalm, you must become one of the Shepherd's sheep.

She stood up and declared loudly, “The Lord is my shepherd. I got all I want.” She had the words mixed up but understood ...read more

    This was a funeral for a godly woman (who raised sheep). What did it mean for Jesus to be her Shepherd?

    A 23rd Psalm Funeral Jean Morphet was a very Godly woman and it’s no surprise (given that she and her husband Don raised sheep most of their lives) that the family told me that her favorite passage of Scripture was the 23rd Psalm. So I want to begin today’s eulogy by reading it: “The LORD is my ...read more
