Facing The Future With Confidence (3 of 4)
MAKING LIFE RICH
Stan Coffey
Today we are going to look at Psalm 23. We are in the third of a series of messages on starting out this new year. Jesus said, "I came that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly."

Do you see any anxiety in that verse? Do you see any fear in that verse? No, the only thing we see there is confidence. I want you to see that you and I can have confidence if the Lord is our shepherd. Every need, He will supply. He'll supply our provis ...
