Review:
Looking back on last Sunday’s message and your notes, what was the most memorable part for you?
Digging Deeper:
1. Read Psalm 23 out loud. What phrase in the Psalm captures your attention? (Copy this phrase.) Why is this phrase meaningful to you today?
2. How would you describe David’s countenance in this Psalm? How often do you pause and have a time of reflection on your life journey with God? What do you believe are the benefits of doing this?
3. If you were to write “a Psalm 23” about all the seasons of your life, what would it look like? How would you describe God and His presence with you in the good times and the bad?
4. What green pastures and still waters has Jesus brought your way in your life so far?
5. When you think of dark valleys in your life, what do you think of? How did Jesus make himself known to you in these times? What did He teach you?
6. Read John 10:11-14. What personal examples has Jesus shown you that He is a Good Shepherd over your life?
Taking it home:
Memorize Psalm 23 and spend some time this week reflecting on all the seasons of your life and how God has been a shepherd to you in all of them.
