Vineyard Church | Rory Wilson: Psalm 23

In this message, Rory Wilson invites us to view Psalm 23 through the eyes of the sheep—helpless, dependent, and fully reliant on the Shepherd. He highlights three key truths: 1. Sheep are foolish — prone to wander and make poor decisions, much like us. 2. Sheep are dirty — unable to clean or care for themselves. 3. Sheep are defenseless — weak and vulnerable without their Shepherd’s protection. Rory explains that the “green pastures” of Psalm 23 aren’t lush meadows, but small patches of provision in the rocky wilderness of Israel—just enough for what the sheep need in each moment. The Shepherd faithfully guides, protects, and provides, using His staff to defend and direct. This message reminds us to trust the Shepherd completely—He knows what we need, restores us when we fall, and walks closely beside us through every valley.
