The Lord Is My Shepherd — Knowing and Trusting the Good Shepherd | Promise Bradley

How do you respond when God leads you somewhere you didn't expect? What happens when following Jesus requires you to surrender your plans, trust His timing, and believe He knows the way even when you don't? In this message, Promise Bradley opens Psalm 23 and John 10 to reveal the heart of the Good Shepherd. David didn't simply know about God. He knew Him personally as "my Shepherd." Through these familiar passages, Promise reminds us that Jesus still leads His people today, speaks to His sheep, and invites us to know Him, trust Him, and faithfully follow wherever He leads. The Christian life is learning to know the Good Shepherd so deeply that we trust Him enough to follow wherever He leads. Throughout the message, Promise shows that Jesus is not only the Shepherd who comforts us, but the Shepherd who leads us on paths of righteousness. Those paths are not always easy, but they always lead us closer to Him. She reminds us that His sheep hear His voice, and that believers can learn to recognize His leading through Scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. Using the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Peter, and the older brother in Jesus' parable, Promise shows how easily we try to control people, circumstances, timing, and outcomes instead of trusting the Shepherd who already knows the way. One of the central challenges of the message is this: "We have to trust the Shepherd. We have to let go of control." Whether you're walking through uncertainty, learning to hear God's voice, or struggling to trust God's plan, this message will encourage you to know the Good Shepherd more deeply and follow Him with confidence.
