Current Sermon SeriesJune 5–If there is one psalm worth memorizing, this is it. The phrase, “the valley of the shadow of death” speaks to our worst fears and most immobilizing emotions—sorrow, despair and depression. But it also comforts us with reminders of God’s goodness, His continuing presence, His protection and provision. Psalm 23 is among the most treasured and most repeated because it has guided the hearts of thousands of people over thousands of years. “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.” That’s the song you want stuck in your head.

If you are new to Asbury or looking for a deeper, more meaningful connection to Jesus, our Discipleship Pathway is the way to get connected and grow spiritually alongside others. This initiative is our vision in action. Asbury exists for ONE reason; HELPING OTHERS FOLLOW JESUS. This is what drives us, because following Jesus is the key to life. Following Him provides direction in our lives, it gives meaning, heals the hurting and secures our salvation and eternity with God in Heaven. Before you can help others follow Jesus, you must be a devoted follower yourself. The path has been laid before you. It’s time to take the first step.
