Walking with God in Dark Times

Walking with God in Dark Times
EFCCL

Speaker: Pastor Steve Yeschek
Scripture: Psalm 23
Series:

Four encouraging truths about God as our Good Shepherd:

  1. The Benefits of Being One of His Sheep
  2. He Restores His Sheep
  3. He Guides His Sheep
  4. He Sees His Sheep through the Dark Times

What truths about the Good Shepherd do you need to focus on? In what dark times do you still need the application of prayer and scriptural truth?

In the dark times, ask yourself: am I praying? Am I thinking right? Am I being thankful? Am I abiding in the truth? Am I abiding in love? Is my hope in God alone?
