Psalm 23 part 1

The Lord Is My Shepherd In this first message of a new series on Psalm 23, Pastor Hugh Chalk explores why this beloved passage is not ultimately about death, but about life - life lived under the care of a faithful Shepherd. Reflecting on David’s journey from shepherd boy to king, we see how Psalm 23 becomes a personal declaration of faith: “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” The sermon unpacks the meaning of God’s personal name (YHWH), His sufficiency as the great “I AM,” and the intimate relationship God offers His people as Shepherd and Provider. Pointing to Jesus as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, we’re reminded that true comfort, guidance, and security come only through knowing Him personally, and that only those who can say, “The Lord is my shepherd,” can truly rest in the promise, “I have everything I need.”
