Sermons from 2023

Before there was King David there was David the shepherd boy. David spent most of his youth tending to his father’s sheep. He saw bright and sunny days and star filled nights. However, he also saw times when he had to lead the sheep through dangers and difficulties. What did David mean when he said, “the Valley of the Shadow of Death?” Listen as Dr. Crowder preaches on this section of the Twenty-third Psalm.

What does it mean for the Shepherd to lead his sheep in “path’s of righteousness?” After all, what does a sheep know about righteousness? Listen as Dr. Crowder preaches on this portion of Psalm 23.

Sermon Number Five: The Shepherd’s Psalm. Man is classified as having three parts: Body, spirit, and soul. I think we can all agree that humans are complicated.

Sermon Number Four: The Shepherd’s Psalm. Sometimes we mis the simplicity of God’s Word. David captures the work of the Shepherd as one who “leads.” The Shepherd is gentle as he leads. The same word also carries the idea of the Shepherd leading “continually.”

Sermon Number Three: The Shepherd’s Psalm. This is the fourth message on Psalm 23. King David’s “Shepherd’s Psalm.” Peace and Joy only come from the Shepherd.

Sermon Number Two: The Shepherd’s Psalm. Humans are rarely satisfied, and it is my opinion that few have mastered the idea of “I shall not want.” That is what makes David’s declaration so impactful. “I Am Satisfied!”

Sermon Number One: The Shepherd’s Psalm. Through the eyes and song of David, we can get a fresh and new look at our Great Shepherd Jesus Christ. The beauty of the setting and its literary impact is missed by most readers. I have performed many funerals and almost without a doubt, the 23rd Psalm is the most requested to be read. It is a psalm of hope and comfort.
