Green Pastures & Still Waters // Good Shepherd Series (Part 2) // Pastor Drew

🔥 "His ability to speak is greater than your inability to hear... I will make myself clear. Stay on your knees, seek Him, and pursue Him." — Pastor Drew In this second part of the "Good Shepherd" series, Pastor Drew dives deep into the promise of rest found in Psalm 23:2-3. He challenges the common "hustle culture" mentality, where our lives often feel more like a frantic checklist than a peaceful pasture. Pastor Drew explains that the "Green Pastures" and "Still Waters" aren't just scenic backdrops; they are intentional provisions from a Shepherd who knows exactly what we need to feel safe and satisfied. He shares a transparent (and funny) story about his own struggle with "packing anxiety" to show how easily we can lose our peace, and reminds us that true restoration only happens when we stop chasing "cheap versions" of fulfillment and settle into the presence of the One who is more than enough. ------------------------------------------------- 📖 Bible References Psalm 23:1-6 – https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.23.1-6.NIV Philippians 4:11-13 – https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PHP.4.11-13.NIV John 10:14 – https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.10.14.NIV Isaiah 55:1-2 – https://www.bible.com/bible/111/ISA.55.1-2.NIV Revelation 7:15-17 – https://www.bible.com/bible/111/REV.7.15-17.NIV ------------------------------------------------- [00:00] Introduction: The joy of sitting in God's presence [02:30] The "Goliath" of Packing: A lesson in how easily we lose our peace [08:30] Corporate Reading: Psalm 23:1-6 [10:20] "I Shall Not Want": Moving from lack to full contentment [16:25] The Provision of the Shepherd [25:50] Four Things a Sheep Needs to Lie Down: Fear, Pests, Hunger, and Tension [28:00] The Presence of the Shepherd [29:25] The Restoration of the Shepherd [32:00] The "Antithesis" of Psalm 23: When the clock is our dictator [37:00] Closing Prayer and Surrender ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!
