🐑☀️ SUMMER IN THE PSALMS ☀️🐑

Last week we asked:

"Where are your roots?"

This morning we ask:

"Who is your Shepherd?"

Today at Ham Lane Church of Christ we'll be looking at one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture—Psalm 23.

For thousands of years these words have brought comfort, hope, and peace to God's people:

"The Lord is my shepherd..."

Notice David doesn't simply say the Lord is a shepherd.

He says:

"The Lord is MY Shepherd."

When life is uncertain, the Shepherd provides.

When life leads through dark valleys, the Shepherd is present.

When enemies surround us, the Shepherd protects.

And when our journey is complete, the Shepherd brings us safely home.

The comfort of Psalm 23 is not found merely in knowing the Psalm.

It is found in knowing the Shepherd.

Join us this morning as we continue our series:

🌿 A Psalm for All Seasons
📖 "When You Need a Shepherd"
🐑 Psalm 23

Bible Classes – 9:00 AM
Worship – 10:00 AM

The Shepherd is leading. Will you follow?

🌿 NEW SERMON SERIES: SUMMER IN THE PSALMS 🌿

This past Sunday we kicked off a brand-new summer series, A Psalm for All Seasons, with a message from Psalm 1 titled:

"When Life Feels Dry"

Have you ever felt spiritually dry? Like you're going through the motions but your soul feels weary, disconnected, or thirsty for something more?

Psalm 1 reminds us that God desires for His people to flourish—even in difficult seasons. The key is being deeply rooted in Him and His Word, like a tree planted by streams of water.

In this message we explore:
🌿 The Pathway to Flourishing
🌿 The Stability of the Rooted Life
🌿 The Contrast of the Unrooted Life
🌿 The Promise of the Rooted Life

No matter what season you're facing today, God has not called you merely to survive—He desires for you to flourish.

Watch the message here:

I'd love to have you join us as we continue this journey through the Psalms all summer long. These ancient songs have brought hope, wisdom, comfort, and encouragement to God's people for thousands of years—and they still speak powerfully to our lives today.

There’s something powerful about a room full of voices singing a simple prayer like this:

“Give me Jesus…”

Not success.
Not comfort.
Not applause.
Just Jesus.

This beautiful African American spiritual arrangement by R. J. Taylor has been stirring our hearts as we prepare for our 5th Sunday Night Sing at Ham Lane Church of Christ. The words are simple, but they carry deep truth:

“In the morning when I rise… give me Jesus.”
“And when I come to die… give me Jesus.”

What a prayer.
What a petition.
What a reminder of what truly matters.

Looking forward to an evening of worship, fellowship, and lifting our voices together in praise to the One who is enough in every season of life.

Today was such a special day at HLCC as Autumn was baptized by her grandfather, Clark. Over the past several weeks, Clark has been faithfully studying God’s Word with her, and today we rejoiced as she made the decision to put on Christ in baptism.

We celebrate with Autumn and her entire family on this beautiful step of faith!

What makes today even more amazing is that this is now the FOURTH baptism from the Lane family in the last three weeks. God is moving in a powerful way, and we are so thankful to witness His blessings and faithfulness.

One of the beautiful moments from Baptize Lodi 2026 was seeing Lawrence publicly recommit his life to Christ through baptism. 💧❤️

Although he had been baptized previously, something through the worship and Gospel message deeply stirred his heart and led him to respond in faith and renewed commitment to Jesus.

We are thankful for what God is doing in Lawrence’s life and so proud of his decision to draw closer to the Lord. Please continue praying for him and his family as they continue growing in Christ. 🙌

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

This Sunday at Ham Lane we begin a brand-new summer sermon series:

☀️ “Summer in the Psalms: A Psalm for All Seasons”

I’m genuinely excited to spend this summer walking together through the book of Psalms.

I’ve always loved the Old Testament because it was the Bible Jesus Himself would have read, studied, prayed, and quoted. And few books seem to have shaped the heart and language of Jesus more than the Psalms. From the wilderness… to the synagogue… to the cross… the Psalms were constantly on His lips.

The Psalms were the songs and prayers of the people of God — and songs have a unique ability to speak into every season of our lives.

Throughout this summer we’ll discover that there truly is a divinely inspired Psalm for every season:
• joy and sorrow
• faith and fear
• victory and struggle
• worship and waiting
• anxiety and peace
• failure and restoration

Psalms is a book for all seasons because it speaks to every area of life.

It is a collection of praise and anguish, triumph and defeat, hope and heartbreak — written by many different authors in many different circumstances over hundreds of years. Yet through it all, God continues to use these ancient songs to bring encouragement, strength, comfort, conviction, and hope to His people.

This Sunday we begin in Psalm 1 with a message titled:
🌿 “When Life Feels Dry”

Hope you’ll join us this summer as we root ourselves deeply in God and His Word together.
