Podcast appearances and mentions of shepherd psalm

Episode Summary We've domesticated Psalm 23. We've turned it into background noise for grief and decoration for walls. But David wrote this psalm with dirt under his fingernails — as a shepherd who knew exactly what it cost to keep sheep alive. This week, Steve McKenzie opens "The God Who Is…" — an 8-week summer series through the Psalms — by recovering what Psalm 23 actually says. It is not a poem about peaceful places. It is a gritty, oxygen-giving declaration about who God is and what that means for people who are running out of steam. What's Covered The Name Behind the Shepherd — YAHWEH is the most holy, most terrifying designation for God in Scripture: self-sufficient, timeless, inexhaustible. He needs nothing. He lacks nothing. And he has personally attached that name to the word shepherd — and made it yours. Why Rest Is Impossible — and Why That Matters — Sheep cannot lie down on command. Four conditions must be met: freedom from fear, friction, flies, and famine. Every one of them is the shepherd's job. Cast Sheep — A cast sheep has rolled onto its back and cannot get up. Legs flailing, unable to breathe, slowly dying. The shepherd finds it, flips it, massages blood back into its legs, and holds it until it can stand. This is what "restores my soul" means in Hebrew. The Valley Is Not a Detour — The Wadi Kelt is a real ravine in the Judean wilderness — deep shadow, flash floods, predators. And it is the right path. You cannot reach the high pastures without walking through it. A Table in Enemy Territory — Middle Eastern hospitality law: a chief who fed a fugitive at his table placed that person under full protection. God doesn't wait for your enemies to disappear. He sets a table in the middle of your crisis. What's Really Chasing You — Radaph (Hebrew) means to chase down and overtake with violent intent — the same word used for Pharaoh's chariots. You thought something was hunting you. Look back. It's Goodness and Faithful Love. Scripture — Psalm 23 (CSB) The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even 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. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live. Take the Next Step Subscribe so you don't miss a week.

In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Bryan introduces us to the Good Shepherd revealed throughout Scripture. From the diagnosis of our need to the promise of God's pursuit in Ezekiel 34, we see the fulfillment in Jesus, the Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. Whether you feel lost, wounded, weary, or far from God, this message is a reminder that Jesus knows you personally and has come to lead, heal, and restore you. Watch, reflect, and share this message with someone who needs hope today.Scriptures Used:Psalm 23Ezekiel 34:4Ezekiel 34:11Ezekiel 34:15-16John 10:11Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

Hope of the Good Shepherd - Psalm 23 - Deacon Casey Solgos by

The Shepherd Psalm grounds Jesus' claim in Israel's trust language—care, presence, and guidance for the sake of living without fear. John 10:11–18 (ESV)I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”Psalm 23 (ESV)The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.    He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.    He restores my soul.He leads me in paths of righteousness    for his name's sake.Even 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.You prepare a table before me    in the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil;    my cup overflows.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me    all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord    forever.

Listen to a standalone message from our Senior Pastor, Derrick Bledsoe. 

This is, as one pastor put it, a psalm for a no-good, terrible, very bad day. It is a message for a distressed 'sheep'. May we find comfort and rest in the shadow of our Great Shepherd who is with us in the valley, leading us to a glorious Kingdom, where we get to enjoy Him forever. #Psalms #Psalm23 #shepherd #darkvalley #valleyofdeath #sermon #OldTestament #podcast #Biblestudy

If we are His sheep, everything we could ever need, we have in the Shepherd.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg. In this episode, Joel shares reflections from a recent visit to Huntington Beach, offering a biblical perspective on Israel’s recent turmoil, especially the events of October 7th. Joel clarifies that what Israel is experiencing is not God’s judgment but a “divine shaking” intended to awaken hearts and draw people back to their Shepherd. Using Amos 9 and Ezekiel 34, the episode discusses how God’s love and faithfulness stay constant, even in the darkest times. This is the second part of an ongoing series.
