In this opening message on Psalm 23, Eric Gentry invites us to slow down and really see the first line: “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” At first, it feels impossible—we can name plenty of things we don't have. But Eric helps us see that the comfort of this verse isn't in what we hold, but in who holds us. Behind the title “the LORD” is God's personal name, the great I AM—the One who is completely self-sufficient and unlimited in both resources and love. Unlike us, He never runs out, never tires, and never fails to provide. When Jesus says, “I am the Good Shepherd,” He is claiming Psalm 23 for Himself, and promising us the same truth: with Him, there is no lack. If you've ever wondered how to live with confidence and peace in a world of scarcity, this message will remind you that your Shepherd has everything you need—and He is yours.

What if your darkest valley is actually the birthplace of your greatest victory? In Part 5 of our powerful journey through Psalm 23, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-stirring message that takes us deep into one of the most battlefield-ready verses in the Bible: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV). Drawing from personal stories and biblical depth, Pastor Travis brings to life the raw reality of valley seasons—places of heartbreak, loss, fear, and uncertainty—and reveals how God's presence, provision, preparation, and protection are most alive in those very moments. You'll walk through the ancient terrain of Wadi Qelt, the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death, and discover that valleys aren't destinations—they're passageways. This isn't just a sermon. It's a declaration for every weary soul: You're not stuck. You're not alone. You're being shaped for victory. From David slaying giants in the Valley of Elah, to dry bones rising in Ezekiel's vision, to Jesus calling Himself the Light that shatters shadows—this message will help you see that your valley is not the end. It's the beginning of your breakthrough. Stop cursing your valley. Start claiming your destiny. You are just passing through... and victory is waiting on the other side.

The Lord Is My Shepherd: Life Is Better This WayText: Psalm 23Main Idea: When Christ is truly your Shepherd, you lack nothing—and life takes on a new peace, purpose, and power.IntroductionThe “Danger” of FamiliaritySteve Farrar calls Psalm 23 one of the most dangerous Psalms because we've grown too familiar with it.Familiarity can dull the meaning and power of God's Word.Fresh Eyes: Today we'll revisit this passage and let it cut through the routine, so it can transform our lives.I. When Christ Is Our Shepherd, Our Desires Shift (Psalm 23:1)Bold Declaration: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”Not just words—this is a life posture.Shift in Desires: No need for worldly success, constant validation, or anxious striving.Reality Check: Many claim Jesus is their foundation but live in panic when trials hit.Sheep Analogy: Sheep are defenseless, prone to filth, and often foolish—completely dependent on their shepherd.Illustration: Sheep in a ditch rescued, then immediately jumping back in—just like us sometimes.Application: Depend fully on the Shepherd; repent quickly when you fail. (James 3:8–10)II. The Danger of Misplaced Expectations (Psalm 23:2–3)In Marriage: Many love transactionally, expecting a “return” for service.When expectations aren't met, frustration leads to anger, bitterness, and destruction.Biblical Order: When Christ is center—peace follows.He leads, restores, guides.III. God Is Not Just Good in Theory—He's Good in Practice (Psalm 23:4)Living Like He's Good:Marriage becomes discipleship, not just maintenance.Parenting becomes shepherding hearts, not just correcting behavior.Church becomes joy, not duty.In Valleys: Life's darkest moments don't bring fear because the Shepherd is near.IV. The Shepherd's Presence Is Our Power (Psalm 23:4–5)Our Limits: We aren't strong, wise, or patient enough—but He is.Order of the Shepherd's Care:He leads, protects, disciplines, prepares, pursues.Discipline as Love: Like a shepherd breaking a wandering sheep's leg to save it.Christ's discipline means you belong to Him (Hebrews 12:6).Knowing His Voice (John 10:24–29): Sheep know the shepherd because they're constantly with Him.V. Final Challenge: Recenter Your Life on Jesus (Psalm 23:6)Root Problems: Marriages, joy, and peace often fail because Jesus is not at the center.Life-Altering Reality: “I shall not want” is not a coffee mug slogan—it's a way of life.Stop placing on others what only Christ can fulfill.Let Christ be your Shepherd—in home, marriage, business, and daily life.Conclusion & InvitationIf Jesus is your Shepherd:Follow Him.Trust Him.Build your life on Him alone.Promise: “I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever” is for today—not just eternity.Life is better this way.Prayer.

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | If a picture says a thousand words, Psalm 23 says more. In only 6 verses, God gives us a panoramic view of past, present, and future; a motion-picture story of our lives; a moving portrayal of His care through it all. If we are His sheep, everything we could ever need, we have in the Shepherd.

Jesus is my Good Shepherd and my Gracious Host.

Rev. Michael Chhangur preaches through Psalm 23 as part of our series, 'The Book of Psalms.'

We've all wandered. Sometimes it's loud rebellion, other times it's quiet distraction—but whether it's chasing pleasure, running from pain, or drifting in disappointment, we find ourselves far from the heart of God. In this powerful message from Psalm 23:3, Pastor Travis Hearn reminds us that no matter how far we've gone, God's mercy will outrun our mistakes, His love will pierce the darkness, and His faithfulness will never fail. Through the stories of Adam and Eve, David, Jonah, Peter, and even the prodigal son, we see the same truth—God never gives up on His people. You are never too far gone. You're just one choice away from turning around and stepping into restoration, freedom, and purpose. If you've been lost in the wilderness, weighed down by shame, or convinced you're beyond hope, this is your “come to your senses” moment. Your comeback is not just about your victory—it's about God's glory. And when His name is on your life, your story becomes living proof of His power. It's time to rise up. It's time to come home. Because even when we are fragile, He is so, so faithful.

God's kingdom is His sovereign rule over all creation, manifested through righteousness, peace, and joy in Jesus Christ. We live in a 'now, not yet' tension where the kingdom has arrived with Jesus but isn't fully realized. Psalm 23 reveals three essential aspects of God's kingdom: provision (learning contentment with what we have), peace (experiencing shalom even amid chaos), and proper paths (following God's guidance even when it differs from our desires). Through the Holy Spirit's power, we're called to be Christ's representatives, embodying His kingdom in our daily lives while pointing others toward the perfect kingdom to come.

Series: Summer in the PsalmsScripture: Psalm 23August 3, 2025 - Worship Service

Right between soul fatigue and soul restoration lies the battlefield of your faith. In Part 3 of our Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a prophetic “bonus track” message that shakes the very foundations of compromise. Rooted in the sacred words of Psalm 23 and the fiery showdown on Mount Carmel, Don't Bow to Baal is a call to holy defiance—a divine interruption between green pastures and soul restoration. This isn't just another sermon. It's a spiritual wake-up call. With piercing conviction and biblical power, Pastor Travis reveals how the enemy strikes hardest when you're most vulnerable—right after the breakthrough, right after the blessing. Baal may no longer be a statue, but its spirit is alive and thriving in our culture. In the pressures of popularity, comfort, and conformity—will you stand, or will you bow? Drawing from Elijah's confrontation with Baal, Jesus' wilderness temptation, and the unwavering fireproof faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this message ignites courage to stand when everyone else bows. It calls you to rebuild your altar, reignite your fire, and renounce every idol fighting for the throne of your heart. The line has been drawn. No more wavering. No more silence. No more compromise. If you don't bow—you won't burn. The fire isn't your end; it's where God reveals Himself. Welcome to the holy resistance. DON'T BOW TO BAAL.

Understanding God's character transforms our prayer life. The Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23 reveal God as both holy and intimate - a perfect Father who runs toward us in our shame and a Good Shepherd who personally cares for the rejected. God is simultaneously transcendent in His holiness and immanent in His love. Like the father in the prodigal son story, He takes our shame upon Himself. Like a shepherd with a rejected lamb, He holds us close to His heart. When we grasp this dual nature of God, we pray with confidence, bringing everything to Him and pressing into His presence even in our worst moments.

The Better Shepherd (Psalm 23 & Psalm 49:5-15)Preston ShanksPCPC High School27 July 2025

How can you rejoice in God's presence no matter what you're feeling or what you're facing?

Have you ever felt so tired that even sleep can't fix it? A weariness that goes beyond your body, deep into your soul? This message is for every person carrying silent weight, fighting silent battles, and feeling like they're running on empty. In Part 2 of the Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn preaches a word straight to the exhausted, overwhelmed, and soul-weary. It's not just that you're tired—it's that you're soul tired. But there's hope. There's healing. And there's rest—not the kind found in a nap or a vacation, but the kind only found in the presence of Jesus. Unpack Psalm 23:2 like never before: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” This isn't poetry—it's a prescription. When your soul is collapsing under pressure, God doesn't push you harder—He gently leads you to peace. This message explores how God restores the exhausted, how He leads with purpose, patience, and presence, and why rest is one of the most spiritual things you can do. If you're in a cave season, hiding like Elijah, God isn't done with you. The cave is not your coffin—it's your classroom. Get ready to come out different. Refreshed. Redeemed. Restored. Because when the Shepherd leads you beside still waters—you're not just surviving... You're healing. You're hydrating. You're home.

The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.3He restores my soul.He leads me in paths of righteousnessfor his name's sake. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for you are with me;your rod and your staff,they comfort me. 5You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows.6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow meall the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the Lordforever.

The beloved imagery of Psalm 23 has long captivated Christians' minds. The LORD is the Shepherd who guides His flock to needed sustenance of both body and soul. He gives, and we joyfully receive. Even in the darkness of death, we know that He is with us, and so we follow Him in confidence as He takes us through death and into life. Even as enemies surround us now, we rest and find refreshment at His overflowing table, knowing that He will pursue us and lead us into His house forever. As Jesus prays this psalm, He receives His Father's faithful answer, so that we know that in Jesus, we have the answer to this psalm ourselves: Jesus is our Good Shepherd who has laid down His life and taken it back up again for us.  Rev.
