Today, Ian brings to a close the series on Psalm 23 as we consider God's name: Yahweh my Portion and my Cup.  We find that David had confidence in God for all he needed in this life and an inheritance in the afterlife.  In the New Covenant we have the same hope in Christ.  As today is All Saints Sunday, the theme from Ps 23 flows into a look at the Communion of Saints and what that means for us.

Parents:  There are some children's activities on the Children's blog.
