Summer In The Psalms
PREPARE FOR OUR NEXT SERMON SERIES
In just two short weeks, we’ll be wrapping up our series together in the book of Acts after over 10 months. We’ve seen and discovered the timeless traits of the Church. As we seek to be molded by God’s Spirit to conform to these traits, the reality is that over time, we as a church and individuals become … disoriented.
ORIENTATION, DISORIENTATION, REORIENTATION
One of the many ways that the beautiful and multifaceted book of Psalms can be described is that it’s a book of songs which give expression to our need to be oriented to God, our tendency to become disoriented and overcome with grief, doubt, worry, fear, and sin and our longing to be reoriented to His Gospel by His truth and gracious presence. The Psalms is a songbook that gives voice to the deepest stirrings of our hearts. They’re songs that don’t sugarcoat the Christian life, but deal honestly with our struggle against sin, Satan and the world. We need a book like the Psalms and God has graciously given one to us.
As you prepare for our six week series in the Psalms this summer, begin reading through the Psalms in your daily devotions. Read one a day or even set up a plan to read all the way through by the end of our series.
