As the summer roles on, we are heading to the conclusion of our series "The Lord as Our Shepherd."

TEXT: Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters,
3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,
  for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD    forever.
 
WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: The substance of God's anointing and its fruits.
 
SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Let’s teach the children to look to God for the source of what is right and what is wrong.
