Sample Psalm 23 Sermon Outline
The Shepherd Who Is Enough
- Big Idea: Because the Lord is our Shepherd, His people can trust His provision, presence, and pursuing goodness.
- I. The Shepherd Provides: David's opening confession moves from who God is to what His people lack: nothing essential under His care.
- II. The Shepherd Restores: Green pastures, still waters, and restored souls reveal the Lord's tender care for tired people.
- III. The Shepherd Accompanies: The valley of the shadow of death is faced with courage because the Shepherd is personally present.
- IV. The Shepherd Welcomes: The table, cup, mercy, and house of the Lord point toward communion and lasting hope.
