Finding Peace in a Restless World

LUKE 8:1-15 Sermon preached on April 26

In this transformative message, Rev. Dr. Gary V. Simpson explores the profound simplicity of God’s providence. Drawing from the timeless imagery of the Good Shepherd, we discover how to navigate the valleys of uncertainty with a heart anchored in divine assurance. This sermon challenges us to lay down our anxieties and embrace the stillness that only spiritual alignment can provide.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.”

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”
PSALM 23:6
Rev. Dr. Gary V. Simpson
