The Good Shepherd: Confidence in Crisis, Part 2
SERMON THEME
Pastor Richard continues his message on Psalm 23. As we focus on the Good Shepherd, we learn about the staff and how the staff can be representative of Holy Spirit. The 23rd psalm is about bringing the kingdom of God into our lives. We can continue to have confidence in crisis as we put our faith in the Good Shepherd to lead, guide and comfort us through crisis.
