Is God chasing me?
We sometimes have a cartoon-like picture of God chasing us with anger. We misunderstand God and are afraid of him. But instead, in Psalm 23 we find a God who chases us with goodness and unfailing love. No matter where you go, no matter how far you run, no matter how much you hide, the goodness and unfailing love of God will pursue you all the days of your life.

Welcome to dinner
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5 You can join us next week in-person at 9.30am or 5.30pm, or connect with us any time at https://www.thelakes.church
What God does in the toughest seasons of your life
The image in Psalm 23 is not about how you are stupid, cantankerous and dumb (like a sheep), but is about how wonderful God is as a shepherd. When you go through the darkest, most difficult seasons of your life God is right there with you. He is beating away the enemy and he is drawing you closer to himself.

How to have everything you need (The Lack Nothing Life)
We often feel like we don’t have enough. “I don’t have enough time.” “I don’t have enough money.” “I don’t have enough friendship.” Despite the fact that we live in a culture with more than anyone has ever had, we feel like we’re missing out. One of the most famous poems in history, Psalm 23, presents us with a different way to live. Imagine going through life thinking, “I actually do have enough. I lack nothing!” It might seem impossible,…
The mothering heart of God
In the Bible we find examples and metaphors that refer to God with mothering characteristics. He nurtures, he protects, he guides and defends. Even Jesus referred to God as being ‘like a woman’ in his parable of the lost coin. Have you experienced the mothering heart of God?
