September 27, 2026 Welcome to Trinity!
Basic Theme:
In a world of uncertainty,“ The Goodness of God” is a four-part series inspired by Bethel Music’ s anthem that declares,“ All my life You have been faithful … so, so good.” Rooted in the entirety of Psalm 23, we will journey with the Shepherd who provides, leads, restores, protects, and pursues us with goodness and love. From green pastures to the darkest valley and into the house of the Lord forever, this series celebrates God’ s constant faithfulness. Beginning with Laity Sunday and continuing through three more Sundays of Scripture, song, and reflection, we will learn Psalm 23 together while cultivating lives of deep gratitude and joyful worship.
Sermon Snapshot( Key Points):
As we conclude the series, we rejoice that the Shepherd’ s goodness is actively pursuing us. Psalm 23 assures us His goodness and love will follow us all our days into eternity in the house of the Lord. The sermon calls us to respond with wholehearted worship and grateful obedience. Through powerful songs of praise and a clear challenge, we will be sent out to live as people who have been caught by grace— fully convinced that the Lord is our Shepherd and we lack nothing.
So What?
How does knowing the Shepherd’ s goodness is actively“ running after me” change the way I face an uncertain future? In what practical ways can I make worship, gratitude, and reciting Psalm 23 a daily lifestyle? Who in my circle needs to hear about the goodness of God that has pursued me all my life?
Do This!
This week, intentionally tell one person( inside or outside the church) a specific way God’ s goodness has pursued you, and invite them to experience the Shepherd’ s care too.
Scripture: Psalm 23; Psalm 100:1-5( NIV)
1
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’ s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
