The Lord Is My Shepherd: Breaking Free From Independent Thinking
Jul 16, 2026 • Pastor Paul Craig
This message dives into Psalm 23 to show that God created us to be dependent on Him, not self-reliant like an employee working for a paycheck. The preacher explains how sin caused mankind to develop an independent, self-sufficient mindset that must be renewed and replaced with childlike trust in God as our Shepherd and Source. Drawing from Psalm 23, Matthew 6, and Psalm 91, the sermon challenges listeners to speak God's promises of provision until they overwrite the poverty and worry programmed into their subconscious mind.
