Dwell in the House of the Lord Forever

Kyle Smith // 11.2.25

This broken world leaves us all wanting. This want either stirs up hope or despair. We conclude our series on Psalm 23 by considering the blessed hope that our Shepherd is leading us to dwell in His presence forever. It is this hope that brings stability to our souls and the motivation to follow our Shepherd until our last breath.

Goodness & Mercy Follow Me

Kyle Smith // 10.12.25

The glorious hope of every believer is to live forever in the presence of Jesus. As Psalm 23 concludes, David points us to the reality that on the road to eternity, we are never alone—God’s goodness and mercy walk with us each day.

Anointed Head & Overflowing Cup

Kyle Smith // 10.5.25

Flies and parasites can cause significant problems for sheep. A good shepherd will commonly apply oil on the heads of their sheep to both restore and prevent damage due to these nuisances. Our Shepherd does not just apply, but He anoints His sheep with oil.

Tables & Enemies

Kyle Smith // 9.28.25

There is deep meaning and significant cost when opening your home and preparing a meal and for guests. This week we look at how our Shepherd has gone ahead to prepare and cover the cost for us to dine with Him.

Your Rod and Your Staff Comfort Me

Kyle Smith // 9.21.25

In the midst of a broken world, all of humanity is looking for comfort and security. This week we discover the source of true comfort found in the tools our Shepherd has in His hands. 

Valley of Death (Part 3)

Kyle Smith // 9.14.25

For a second week in a row we are taking time to hear testimonies of God's faithfulness from those who have faced valleys of deep darkness and are still following their Shepherd. 

Valley of Death (Part 2)

Kyle Smith // 9.7.25

In this message, we hear testimonies of the faithfulness of God from those who have been in the darkest of valleys. Let your faith be stirred by those who have faced the valley of the shadow of death,  but are still walking and following the Shepherd.

Valley of Death (Part 1)

Kyle Smith // 8.24.25

To be human means experiencing seasons of valleys of death. Whether it is the grief of losing a loved one, a diagnosis, heartbreak, or some other form of loss or tragedy, we all will face valleys. However, our ability to endure the valleys is determined by the hope we have in our destination and our closeness to our Shepherd.

Paths of Righteousness (Part 3)

Kyle Smith // 8.17.25

Following our Shepherd in paths of righteousness means that we will be actively cutting off paths of unrighteousness. This message focuses on our role in the sanctifying work of our Shepherd.

Paths of Righteousness (Part 2)

Kyle Smith // 7.20.25

Our Shepherd restores us and then leads us in right living. If we are truly following our Shepherd, we will be moving and growing in the ways of righteousness. Allowing the Shepherd to guide us in right paths is synonymous with allowing Him to guide us away from wrong paths.

Paths of Righteousness (Part 1)

Kyle Smith // 7.13.25

As Isaiah 53:6 says, all of us have left God's path to follow our own. Jesus came as the Good Shepherd to rescue us from our paths of sin and then lead us in paths of right living. In this message, we consider how our Shepherd leads and how we can be faithful to follow.

He Restores Me

Kyle Smith // 7.6.25

To restore means bringing something that has been broken, neglected, or worn out back to its original quality, beauty, and usefulness. How amazing that our Shepherd is still in the business of restoring souls!

He Leads Me Beside Still Waters (Part 2)

Kyle Smith // 6.22.25

One of the primary roles of a shepherd is to lead their sheep to drinkable water, as sheep need a consistent source of clean water in order to survive. This week we look at the last of three primary sources for sheep to experience still waters, and how Jesus ultimately fulfills our need for consistent water. 

He Leads Me Beside Still Waters (Part 1)

Kyle Smith // 6.8.25

One of the primary roles of a shepherd is to lead their sheep to drinkable water, as sheep need a consistent source of clean water in order to survive. This week we look at the first two of three primary sources for sheep to experience still waters.

Green Pastures

Kyle Smith // 6.1.25

Sheep may be able to survive on occasional nourishment, but they are only healthy when they are able to graze continuously. We too are sheep, designed to slowly and consistently find nourishment in the presence and Word of our Shepherd who has gone before us to prepare all that we need. 

Faithful Then, Faithful Now

Matt Pye // 5.18.25

In this last week's message, we focused on the unshakeable faithfulness of God, using the life of David as an example. From being an overlooked shepherd to a warrior, king, and even a fugitive—David experienced it all, but one thing never changed: “The Lord is my Shepherd.” It highlighted how God is present in every season—guiding, providing, and bringing peace—whether life is calm or chaotic. No matter where someone may be, God's faithfulness remains constant.

He Makes Me Lie Down

Kyle Smith // 5.11.25

A good shepherd both moves and rests his sheep. In our lives today, rest is often desirable but difficult to find. This week we will look at four hindrances to our ability to rest and the single solution for each of them.

I Shall Not Want

Kyle Smith // 5.4.25

As humans, we have an infinite desire for more. Yet, this Psalm declares "I shall not want." Taken in isolation, this is an impossibility. But in relation to following the Great Shepherd, we can find contentment in where He has us and where He is leading us.

Ownership & Belonging

Kyle Smith // 4.27.25

The opening phrase of Psalm 23 is a declaration of ownership and belonging. It is this premise that sets the stage for the rest of the Psalm. We spend our time together this week looking at 2 markers of ownership and belonging between a sheep and its shepherd. 

My Shepherd

Kyle Smith // 4.20.25

We are all like sheep that wander into danger and sin.Praise God that we also have the Good Shepherd who sacrifices His life for his Sheep! This Easter message is the beginning of a series looking at the well known Psalms 23. Because our Shepherd laid His life down for us, we can "dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
