Pastor Adam returns to Psalm 23 and the observation that a shepherd does not run with his sheep. C.S. Lewis supplies the warning: take care when your outside is bigger than your inside — a structural problem, not a success story in progress.

Harry Wilson preaches Psalm 119 on God as an authoritative Father, which is neither authoritarian nor permissive. The psalm is relentlessly about law, and yet its verbs are all affection, which is the tension the message works.
