Summer in Psalms '25
The collection of Psalms in the Bible formed the backbone of the ancient Jewish “hymnbook.” Written as poetic songs, they magnify the Lord of the universe while also expressing the gamut of human emotion. The Psalms are no less relevant today than they were thousands of years ago, as they influence and inform HOW we worship God even as they reveal WHO He is and WHAT He is like. Each year we will take some weeks in the summer to learn from the Psalms, joining our hearts with the words of David as he sang, “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, bless his holy name.” (Psalm 103:1)
