He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. (Psalm 23:3) Ref: Psalm 51 Introduction: The Soul and its need of restoration. 1/ The soul restorer - The LORD, "He restoreth my soul". 2/ The positive aspect of his restoring - "he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness". 3/ Why he restores a soul - "for his name's sake". *Sermon Summary:* The sermon centers on the restorative power of God, drawing from Psalm 23 to illustrate how He actively restores souls, not through self-effort, but through divine grace. It emphasizes that restoration is an ongoing process, akin to a shepherd bringing a lost sheep back into the flock, and highlights that this work is ultimately done for God's namesake, upholding His covenant and demonstrating His glory. The message underscores the importance of recognizing God as the sole Restorer, leading believers in the paths of righteousness and ultimately bringing them to Himself, both in this life and in the resurrection.
