the Bible, it’s easy to get started!
Finding comfort with the realities of life
Psalm 23 is one of the most encouraging chapters in the Bible. Every line is about what God does for His people and, like the rest of the Bible, it all points to Jesus Christ. David said, “The Lord is my shepherd” (Psa. 23:1). And Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11). So, in Psalm 23, we discover all that is ours, or could be ours, in Jesus Christ.
The psalm deals with the realities of life. When you face difficult decisions, this psalm is for you. When you are losing heart, when you are facing enemies, or when you have seen the face of evil, this psalm is for you. And, since one day you will walk through the valley of the shadow of death, this psalm is for you.
Helping you Open the Bible and understand the story
Open the Bible Story is a guided journey through the Bible. We begin with a three-session overview called “The Flight”, followed by a choice of two paths that will take you deeper in your understanding of the Bible, to help you see that it is one story that begins in a garden, ends in a city, and all the way through points to Jesus Christ.
