The Lord My Shepherd | Psalm 23 | Pastor John Miller

What does it mean to have everything you need in life, death, and eternity? In this heartwarming and powerful study of Psalm 23, Pastor John Miller explores the "Sweet Assurance" of the best-loved passage in the entire Bible. Written by David—the shepherd boy who became the King of Israel—this Psalm provides a blueprint for God's personal care over His people. Pastor John breaks down how Jesus Christ, the "Good Shepherd," personally addresses our frailties, our fears, and our future. From the restorative rest found in "green pastures" to the unwavering protection provided in the "valley of the shadow of death," discover why the Lord is the only one who can truly satisfy the hunger of the human soul. Learn to move beyond a religious understanding of God to a personal relationship where you can say with confidence, "The Lord is my shepherd." In this study, you will discover: - The Shepherd King: The backstory of David’s anointing and how his life experiences as a shepherd inspired the Psalm's imagery. - Jehovah Raha: Understanding the compound name of God that reveals Jesus Christ as our personal Shepherd. - Restoration for the "Cast" Sheep: What it means for God to "restore your soul" when you wander or become spiritually overwhelmed. - Victory Over Phobias: How the presence, protection (the rod), and direction (the staff) of the Shepherd eliminate the fear of life and death. - The Great Equalizer: Why death is universal but the believer's future is secure in the "Father's House" forever. - God's Pursuit: The meaning behind "Goodness and Mercy" following you all the days of your life. 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Reading Psalm 23 01:23 - The Author: David the Shepherd Boy 02:50 - Samuel Anoints the Next King 04:17 - When was Psalm 23 Written?
