SERMON NOTES:
Restoration?
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
John 10
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,
Who is the shepherd and what does that mean for me? What did it mean for David?
Notice the subject of all the promises.
“Restores”? Soul?
When Jesus restores my soul He brings my life’s center back home to live alive!
What will I say when they “Ask Me”?
Matthew 11 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
