Song 23 is one of the most loved and well-known passages in all of scripture.

However, it's easy to become so familiar with a passage like this that we no longer stop to consider what God is saying

and how we should respond to it.

As followers of Christ, we want to hear the voice of our good shepherd and respond rightly

to him. Here's David with a sermon titled

understanding and responding to Psalm 23. Psalm 23, probably the most famous Psalm in all the Bible for good reason

remember the first funeral I vividly remember is my granddad's's funeral, my dad's dad.

As a little kid, I remember like it was yesterday,

it was the first time I really saw my dad just cry, just weeping. I remember that afternoon after the funeral

sitting on the floor in my grandmother's house and just writing out as a kid

writing out Psalm 23 on a piece of paper. Then when I was in college I preached my first funeral. It was

my grandmother on my mom's side and her favorite psalm was Psalm 23. It had been a

real comfort to her when her husband, my grandfather, my mom's side, had passed

away a few years before. So it was just natural to preach at our funeral from Psalm 23.

And I remember living in New Orleans right after my dad unexpectedly died,

and I was asked to preach on Psalm 23.

I just remember reflecting on God's grace in the middle of grief.
