The Bethlehem Shepherd (1 of 6)
Psalm 23

Psalm 23:1
12/23/2001
We are going to be in Psalm 23 for about six weeks. It
will carry us all the way to the Pastors' Conference
which begins on the first Sunday of February. I will
be giving a series of studies on the 23rd Psalm. We
begin with verse 1.
"The Lord is my Shepherd." Say that with me. Psalm 23
is probably the most familiar of all of the chapters

one of these verses, if you will memorize those
verses, when we are through you will have memorized a

television last night about David. I wasn't
particularly interested in it. I have never gotten too
excited about Hollywood portraying the Bible. I would
just about as soon hear the Mafia lecture on honesty
as Hollywood portray the Bible.
But we are familiar with David. We know that David was
the great king of Israel. We know that when the Lord
Jesus Christ was born, we are specifically told that
He would be in the house and in the linage of David.
He would be an ancestor of David.
David—the great shepherd king of the children of
Israel. David—a shepherd boy around a little village
of Bethlehem. Really David's story was a story of a
small town boy made good. It was quite a ...
