Through the Deepest Valley He Will Lead (Psalm 23:4)

My hope in dark valleys is the presence of my Shepherd.

I. The Darkness of the Valley (v.4a) — three truths for dark valleys
1. God is sovereign over all, including evil and suffering (Eph. 1:11)
2. God does not author evil (1 Jn. 1:5; Ps. 5:4)
3. God is with us when we face evil and suffering (Ps. 23:4)
II. The Presence of the Shepherd (v.4b) — four responses in dark valleys
1. Weep, knowing that suffering is real (Ps. 13; 88)
2. Pray, knowing God wants you to come to Him (Phil. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:7)
3. Trust in God, who is unbelievably sovereign and loving (Ps. 56:3; Eph. 3:19)
4. Hope in God and the eternal weight of glory (2 Cor. 4:16-17; Rom. 8:18)

This Is Youth Ministry!

From Colossians 1:28-29, Pastor Brett Nakashima casts the biblical vision for Lighthouse Youth: youth ministry exists to proclaim Christ so that every student is presented mature in Him. It is a foundation for the year ahead, built on proclamation, equipping, and loving community.

1. A ministry of proclamation: holding out Christ from God’s Word, week in and week out.
2. Equipping students for a life of obedience and worship, growing mature in Christ.
3. The centrality of loving community and discipleship, with parents leading the way.
