Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved and comforting passages in all of Scripture, offering a timeless reminder of God’s love and care for His people. In this sermon, we will explore the beautiful imagery of God as our Shepherd—a guide who provides, protects, and restores. Just as a shepherd knows each sheep by name and cares for their every need, our God leads us beside still waters, refreshes our souls, and walks with us through life’s darkest valleys.
