What if your restlessness isn't random—but a sign you're being led by the wrong shepherd? This message opens with Psalm 23 echoing through unexpected places (from Coolio to the Titanic), then invites you to sit under David's most famous confession: “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” Walk through green pastures and quiet waters, face the darkest valley with a Shepherd who stays near, and see the startling picture of God preparing a feast even in the presence of enemies. Along the way, the sermon names the rival voices shaping modern life—productivity, comfort, self-reliance, even “the algorithm”—and guides you through reflective questions to uncover where you're anxious, exhausted, and drifting. It ends with a call to trust Jesus, the good shepherd who lays down His life, and to pray Psalm 23 as a lived reality.

The obtaining of things is not the point of the phrase "I shall not want", but the emphasis should be on God who is the provider, why and how he provides, and the REST and HEALING that comes when we enter into and live in absolute trust.

This week, Pastor Lydia Miller kicks off week two of our Summer in the Psalms series! This week, we come to one of the most familiar passages in the Bible—known by both believers and nonbelievers alike. Read by congregation member Dan Dykstra, Psalm 23 is a psalm of comfort, confidence, and hope. As David reflected on his life, he wrote these timeless words about the Lord's faithful care, constant presence, and gracious provision. While they were deeply personal to David, they remain just as true for us today.--WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistSunnybrook App (ios)Sunnybrook App (Google)Connect with us!How can we pray for you?

This chapter is one of the most well known chapters in all of the word of God, but sadly it is relegated to something akin to poetry, when it is more accurately a path of power; God's power - available to all who know and follow him as their shepherd. This power is manifested in many ways and in many forms like provision, rest, guidance and protection; but if followed, truly followed it is a fountain of healing, mind-body-soul-and spirit!

Psalm 23The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

If Psalm 22 is about the cross of Christ and Psalm 24 is about the crown of Christ, then Psalm 23 is about the confidence we can have in Christ. Psalm 23 is a confidence Psalm, a psalm of absolute trust. And there are three clear confessions of confidence in this Psalm that can be our confessions too.
