"I Need a Guide," from Psalm 23, emphasizes three key points: first, that humans are inherently poor path-pickers, often choosing ease and self-interest over what is truly right, leading to various "wrong paths." Second, it stresses the critical need for a divine guide in a complex world, highlighting that being "guidable" requires humility, obedience, surrender, and trust, with pride being the main obstacle. Finally, the sermon asserts that good paths ultimately glorify a good God, not just benefit us, and that living for God's glory is the only sustainable motivation for navigating difficult but righteous paths. The message concludes by inviting the congregation to communion, reinforcing Jesus' role in healing and guiding them from their broken paths.
