This message closes out our series on the Names of God, and focuses on the Lord our Shepherd. In Psalm 23, we meet the God who guides and leads us into green pastures and beside still waters, even as we walk through valley of the shadow of death. This Psalm is also a picture of the gospel, of Jesus our Good Shepherd, who came to find and rescue us.

In chapter 4 we see that God works to bring fullness and fruitfulness out of seasons of emptiness and barrenness. And that there is a hope for us. Because from the line of Ruth and Boaz would come a greater kinsman redeemer, Jesus, who gives us a hope and a future.
