Goodness and Mercy | Week 3 | Lead Pastor Paul Mints | 6/22/25

How did God speak to you today?The enemy has strategically planted spiritual landmines through childhood lies, past pain, and difficult experiences that explode during hardship, making us question God's care. However, Psalm 23 reveals that God's goodness and mercy aren't passively following but actively pursuing us—chasing us down with relentless love. What's at stake isn't just our faith but the spiritual inheritance we pass to future generations.Many of us operate from an orphan mindset, feeling abandoned, overlooked, or unworthy. This leads to disclaiming God's resources, distancing ourselves from soul rest, distrusting God's guidance, defending ourselves unnecessarily, and disagreeing with God's timing. The truth is we're not abandoned but adopted. God doesn't always remove us from the presence of enemies, but He prepares a table before us in their midst—providing abundance while they watch, anointing us while they accuse, and overflowing our cup while they criticize. By immersing ourselves in Psalm 23 daily and choosing to trust the Good Shepherd again, we can replace lies with truth and reclaim our identity as God's treasured children.Support the show
