To whom or what are you turning for fulfillment, satisfaction, and your needs? Is it your education, job, marriage, etc? These are only resources. This week Joe Olivè draws from the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus at a water well to remind us that Jesus needs to be our source of fulfillment.

Connecting with Others. Psalm 23, Part 2

In this second of two touching and profound messages, guest minister Marcus Ardern walks us backwards through Psalm 23. With teaching and candid stories, he touches on several major themes in Psalm 23 relating to our relationship with other ‘sheep’ and to our relationship with God Himself.

Some of the themes explored:

  • We are the House of the Lord and the Lord is making connections between us

  • The goodness of God is often in opposition to popular opinion

  • Mercy means exhibiting ‘covenant love’ with others

  • The Anointing gives us supernatural power to touch other's.

  • God gives provision for every project that He calls us into

  • Rod & staff - God’s discipline and correction

  • God restores our soul when others give up on us

  • God guides us to our desired safe havens

  • The good shepherd won't kick us when we're down.

We Have Our Shepherd’s Attention. Psalm 23, Part 1

In this first of two touching and profound messages, guest minister Marcus Ardern walks us forwards through Psalm 23. With teaching and candid stories, he encourages us that we have the Shepherd’s attention and will always have it.

Marcus touches on something for everyone:

  • God guards our soul

  • We have a Holy Spirit anointing to fulfill everything the Lord calls us to do

  • God brings provision

  • God brings calmness into our life

  • God shepherds us in paths of righteousness

  • We needn't be afraid of death

  • God helps us to feast on his goodness when the devil tries to wind us up

  • Goodness and loving kindness are like two dogs that follow us

  • We will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. This means that God never tires of you. He's always glad to see you.

Allow this message to help you be guided by the Shepherd and guardian of your soul (1 Peter 2:24-25).

You are known by the Lord our Shepherd and deeply loved by Him. He knows you, your pain, your secret sorrows. He’s more merciful than men and shall wipe every tear from your eyes.

Our Shepherd is Everything We Need

Psalm 23 - Part 1

No situation that we face is too difficult for our God.

In this sermon Ps Rob springboards off of Psalm 23:1 to show us that all of His nature (described by all the names of God that we find throughout the Scriptures) and all that He does are encapsulated in this one overarching aspect of His character - “The Lord is our Shepherd”.

When we call upon His name, we're calling upon all of God's provision and all of His nature.

“Who He is, is [wrapped] up in His Son Jesus. Who He is and what He is, is all yours.”

Rob Clayton

Towards the end of the message, Rob reads out a very cool list of God’s names.

Two brief testimonies are appended to the end of the recording for your encouragement:

  • Credit card bill anonymously paid “Nobody knows where it came from.”

  • Opportunity to witness to man who asked “Is the resurrection real?”
