What does it mean to be both a sheep and a shepherd? We're first sheep—dependent and in need of care. As we receive from Christ, we're called to give. Feeding others starts by feasting on God's Word ourselves.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep. Join Gabe and Nate as they explore Christ's Command to, “Feed my sheep.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

What do you do when life feels stuck in the shadows?In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Clayton Bell reminds us that the Shepherd's presence is just as real in the valleys as it is in the green pastures. While we often celebrate God's blessings, it's in the darkest valleys that His rod and staff protect and comfort us. Sometimes the shadows come from our own choices. Other times, from brokenness in the world around us. Either way, the Shepherd doesn't abandon us—He walks with us.In this sermon, you'll learn:- Why God leads us to places of rest and refreshment- What it means to walk through—not get stuck in—the valley of shadows- How to recognize when God is guiding, protecting, or pulling us back on track- Why the presence of God changes our fear into courage- How to draw closer to the Shepherd when the shadows feel overwhelmingKey Scriptures:- Psalm 23:2–4 — “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me…”- Psalm 121:1–2 — “Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord…”- John 10:11 — “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”Search Keywords:Psalm 23 sermon, shepherd and shadows, walking through valleys, darkest valley meaning, God's comfort in suffering, fear and faith, God's presence in hard times, rod and staff explained, how to walk through shadows, Jesus the Good Shepherd, overcoming fear with faithShadows don't mean God is absent.

The first five words of the 23rd Psalm are well known, but that doesn’t diminish the amount of meaning contained in them. Breaking it down word by word can show us incredible things about the God who is our Shepherd. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

A Psalm of David – Psalm 23
Do we love Jesus more than anything else? Jesus' call to Peter—“Feed my sheep”—flows from a heart of love. As we return to Him from self-reliance, He restores us and invites us to dine with Him.

Psalm 23 August 31, 2025 The Crossing Aaron Santini Fort Collins, CO www.thecrossingfc.org
Have you ever tried to outrun God? In this unforgettable finale to the Psalm 23 series, Pastor Travis Hearn brings a raw, heart-grabbing word about the relentless pursuit of God's love. Through vivid storytelling—from childhood games of chase to real-life moments of spiritual resistance—Pastor Travis illustrates how God's goodness and mercy are not just passive companions, but divine forces actively chasing us down, even when we run. Drawing from Psalm 23:6, this message reveals the Hebrew depth behind the words tov (goodness) and chesed (mercy)—God's abundant kindness and His unbreakable, covenant love. You'll discover that these aren't just theological concepts—they are the very heartbeat of God running after you, even in your darkest valleys, deepest regrets, and most rebellious moments. From Jonah's stormy detour to the prodigal son's homecoming, this message will stir your soul and challenge your heart to stop running and surrender to the God who never gives up on you. His mercy meets you in the barbed wire of your failures. His goodness shines even in the storms. And His love chases you all the way home—to healing, restoration, and eternity. It's time to stop running. It's time to taste and see that the Lord is good.
1. Surely means to listen up: A. A truth you don't want to miss B. A truth that summarizes the passage C. A truth that is life changing 2. Goodness and Mercy are chasing me A. Not to harm but to help B. To give blessings I don't deserve C. To withhold judgements I do deserve D. To care for my steps and my stumbles E. Everyday of my life 3. The greatest blessing to come A. To dwell in the Lord's house B. A dwelling place prepared for me C. A dwelling place in the Lord's presence D. A dwelling place with the Lord forever
Message from Raewyn Orlich on August 30, 2025
Many false versions of the gospel are flourishing in the Church right now—what are they, and how can we recognize them? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the symptoms of widespread deception, distortion, and manipulation happening under the umbrella of “faith” today. He warns us to live with an awareness of messages that pervert the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to fit a popular worldview, agenda, or cultural fad. We learn from Peter and Paul that this is not a new problem; it's an age-old issue. To remain grounded in the Truth, we need to stay close to our Shepherd, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Though the Lord is busy in Psalm 23, so is our representative knucklehead David. Should I be doing the same things David does in the proclamation of the verses?Are we doing the activities of David in our valleys, shadows, and in the presence of enemies? Watch 7 minutes as we find David being led, deciding not to fear, and being content under the discipline of the Lord. https://youtu.be/FZYNv7RiPUo
God is doing some stuff in Psalm 23 that we want to be aware of and even access for ourselves. He's given us a great poet, David, to capture perhaps the most beautiful 6 verses in the Bible. But this Psalm is more than just a pretty face. There is real content for our heads, and real comfort for our souls.

Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known songs in history, sung across generations because it speaks to our deepest longings and needs. In it, David calls the Lord his Shepherd. The One who provides, protects, and pursues His people. This psalm isn't just a comfort for funerals; it's a truth for everyday life. When we belong to the Shepherd, we are never without what we need, never alone in the valley, and never beyond the reach of His love.Here are some things we'll learn from Psalm 23:· We'll see how the Lord provides for both our physical needs and the deepest needs of our souls.· We'll hear how God protects us and is with us in the darkest valleys.· We'll learn how God's goodness and mercy don't just “follow” us, but actively pursues us all the days of our lives.· We'll discover how Jesus, our Good Shepherd, fulfills Psalm 23 and brings us to His table in victory over sin, Satan, and death.· We'll be reminded that the Shepherd's pursuit doesn't stop until we dwell with Him in His house forever.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

In Psalm 23:1–3, David makes a bold claim: “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” But how can that be true when we often feel empty, restless, or in need? In this message, Eric Gentry shows how the rest of the psalm explains this radical promise—our Shepherd feeds us until we can rest, protects us when predators circle, and leads us on right paths for His glory. Unlike lions, who are always hungry and vulnerable, sheep with a strong shepherd are fully provided for and secure. Eric reminds us that God's provision isn't just about meeting our needs, but about displaying His name to the world through His care for His people. If you've ever wondered how to live content, even in seasons of struggle, this sermon will help you see why in Christ you truly “lack nothing.”
What if the very people who counted you out... had to watch God raise you up? In this powerful continuation of our Psalm 23 series, Pastor Travis Hearn brings a word that will ignite your spirit and shift your mindset. Drawing from Psalm 23:5, this message paints a vivid picture of divine vindication: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” David had just walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but now, God flips the script. The Shepherd becomes a Chef. The battlefield becomes a banquet. And your enemies? They become your audience. You may be surrounded by haters, doubt, disease, failure, or fear—but God doesn't wait until they disappear to bless you. He blesses you right in front of them. He anoints your head with oil, marking you for purpose, covering your mind, and empowering you with the Holy Spirit. And your cup? It doesn't just fill—it overflows. Through every attack, every dark night, and every setback, you didn't quit. You overcame. You healed, got back up, and moved forward—in the presence of your enemies. This isn't just a sermon. It's a declaration. A celebration. A feast in the face of your fiercest battles. So to every doubter, hater, and enemy of your purpose, go ahead… grab a seat. God's gonna cook. So WATCH ME EAT.
Dr. Mark Rutland ends our series on The Lord's Prayer by looking at Matthew 6, connecting it to Psalm 23, understanding God's will in earth, and showing us what forgiveness looks like.
