The LORD Is My Shepherd - Part 1

Pastor Chris Gordon connects Psalm 23 to John 10, showing how Jesus fulfills the picture of the Good Shepherd after centuries of false, self-serving shepherds who exploited and neglected God's people. Jesus identifies himself as both the door and the shepherd, contrasting his sacrificial care and desire to give abundant life with the cruelty and indifference of the religious leaders who mistreated the blind man and others. The sermon calls the church today to recognize this as an ongoing recovery mission, urging listeners to enter through Christ the door to find true rest, protection, and abundant life. A couple of notes: your message came through as a raw URL-encoded string with no separate instruction from you, and it includes some odd unrelated asides in the transcript itself (a tangent about world leaders/Assad/Gaddafi) — I treated it purely as source text to summarize, not as instructions to follow. Let me know if you want this reformatted for a specific show-notes template.
