Jesus Is Our Good, Great, Chief Shepherd. Do You know His Voice, Are You Following Him? Psalm 23:1-6 1The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. 4Even though I walk through the darkest valley, a I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

In this “Space for God” devotional, Amy Boucher Pye (Author, Coracle Spiritual Director) shares a practice she has come to deeply value for its ability to draw God into the very midst of our daily life—our needs, desires, and feelings. By personalizing Psalm 23, we can come first to understand how we imagine God relates to us and second to transform our imaginations so we see God more clearly as our Good Shepherd.View Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesLearn More About Spiritual Direction through Coracleinthecoracle.org | @inthecoracleSupport the showFor the Journey is a resource of the Coracle Center of Formation for Action and is made possible through the generous support of men and women across the globe.

Sunday Morning
This sermon explores the central themes of Psalm 23, emphasizing the personal relationship between God and believers through the metaphor of the Good Shepherd. The speaker outlines three key aspects of this relationship: provision, protection, and presence, illustrating how God meets the needs of His people, guards them through life's valleys, and actively pursues them with mercy. The message contrasts the helplessness of sheep with the sufficiency of God, urging listeners to trust in His care rather than their own strength. It concludes with a call to repentance and faith, explaining that through spiritual rebirth, individuals are transformed from 'goats' into 'sheep,' entering the fold of Christ to enjoy eternal communion with Him.

This is the second of two message Mark gave to the 6th-12th graders at Westminster's SharpTop retreat on Thursday, 9/17. The focus is on the fact that goodness and mercy follow us all our days in this life, then we dwell in hte house of the Lord forever eternally. And inbetween this life and the next is the dark valley of the shadow of death where the Lord, our good shepherd, walks with us and comforts us.
This is the first of two message Mark gave to the 6th-12th graders at Westminster's SharpTop retreat on Wednesday, 9/16. The focus is on the amazing truth that Yahweh is our shepherd and therefore we shall lack nothing.

Before we get to the way we walk and the paths we take, we must first make doubly sure that we are following - not leading. His sheep hear, know and follow their shepherds voice, and another they will not follow. Not themselves or another person. And the paths of God are always, ALWAYS righteous paths. Paths that require the denial of self, and a surrender to Lordship. Paths that are first walked by the Lord and us as we follow him.Divine paths, specific paths, narrow paths and paths that resonate with the Spirit of God within us.

This beloved psalm has been called the “pearl of Psalms” by Charles Spurgeon. In it we see that the Lord is a good Shepherd who cares for His sheep well by providing, leading, protecting, and accompanying them through the darkest valleys. “Depth and strength underlie the simplicity of this psalm. Its peace is not escape; its contentment is not complacency: there is readiness to face deep darkness and imminent attack, and the climax reveals a love which homes towards no material goal but to the Lord Himself.” Derek Kinder, Psalms, p.127

Psalm 23 - The Lord is my Shepherd & Host
Psalms - Songs of the King "The God Who Shepherds" (Psalm 23) Almost everyone knows Psalm 23, but knowing the words is not the same as knowing what they mean. In this interlude in the Psalms, Pastor Peter Finch walks through the God who shepherds His people in three ways: as our Pastor who leads and feeds us, as our Protector who walks with us through the valley of the shadow of death, and as our Provider who prepares a table, anoints our head, and fills our cup to overflowing. The promise "I shall not want" does not depend on our circumstances changing. It rests on the Shepherd who is with us, whose goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our life, and who welcomes His sheep into the house of the Lord forever.

You Can Outrun the Goodness of God | Psalm 23:6You've been praying. You've been showing up. And somewhere in the back of your head there's a sentence you don't say out loud: I haven't felt God's goodness in a long time.Most of us assume that means He stopped. Psalm 23:6 says something harder — and stranger."Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me" is the polite translation. The Hebrew is a hunting word: pursue, chase, hunt down. David wrote it as a man who spent most of his life being chased for real — by Saul, by foreign armies, eventually by his own son.So if it's chasing you, why hasn't it caught you?In the finale of our four-week walk through Psalm 23, Pastor Johnny and Pastor Tim Grandstaff sit in one verse and land on the uncomfortable answer: you can outrun it. Not because God is slow — because we've built lives too busy to be caught, and faith too departmentalized to be led.In this episode: — Why "surely" is a verdict, not a hope — Tov — the goodness chasing you is the same word God spoke over creation in Genesis 1 — "Follow" is a mistranslation. It means hunted — Luke 15 and the rich young ruler: He left the 99 to find the one — and He let another man walk away — "God is good on Sunday, but He's not with me on Monday" — the faith problem we create ourselves — Chris the sheep: 90 pounds of wool, and how nobody drifts overnight — The three positions of the shepherd — front, middle, behind — and where all three show up in the psalm — "I shall dwell in the house of the LORD" isn't about a building. It's about presence — John 10: the sheep don't move for strangers. They only move for the voice they knowThis week's challenge: read John 10 alongside all of Psalm 23. And slow down enough to get caught.
Psalm 23 is a psalm that's simple enough for a small child to understand and yet deep enough for a lifetime of reflection and nourishment. If you haven't already, try memorizing Psalm 23. In it we find a Shepherd who gives us rest, courage and a future in and with Him. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on August 30, 2026.
