In this message we dive into Psalm 23 verse 5 and the concept of the shepherd preparing a table in the presence of enemies. At first glance, the shepherd may seem to tend to his flock amidst danger, but the truth goes much deeper. We discover that the Good Shepherd goes before us, preparing a place of rest, peace, safety, and nourishment. Our Good Shepherd has prepared a table for each one of us. So, come and take your seat at the table!
This sermon series is all about getting to know God for who he really is. This is so important because unless we grow in our understanding of who God is, we will not effectively relate to him, nor will we enjoy life in a relationship with him. One of the most powerful ways that God reveals himself to us is by depicting himself as a shepherd. As we come to know the Lord as our Shepherd, we'll find ourselves experiencing life as cared-for sheep, able to trust in His goodness and love, both now and forever.
