Trust God and You Will Find Peace
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class opened with a call to examine how each person was entrusting their life to God as the new year began. The teacher highlighted the importance of integrating faith into every area—marriage, family, school, and career—by viewing the Lord as a personal Shepherd who provides and protects. Using Psalm 23 as the central passage, the speaker explained that David’s declaration, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” reveals an intimate relationship that removes fear, even in the “valley of the shadow of death.” Further, the teacher connected this trust to practical church involvement, mentioning the ongoing evangelism effort called “Come and See” and urging members to pray for upcoming events and to seek guidance from the outreach minister. The lesson emphasized that true peace comes from a heart fully surrendered to the Shepherd, who prepares a table before us, anoints our heads, and fills our cups. The class concluded with a challenge to daily rely on God's steadfast love, as echoed in Psalm 59:16, and to actively participate in the church’s mission, trusting God to lead every step forward.
