As we begin a new sermon series called Soundtrack of the Soul: A Summer in the Psalms, we wanted to provide you with some accessible resources that will help you engage this beautiful work of art that has been the songbook of the people of God for millennia.
““The Psalms are not only poetry in themselves; they are to be the cause of poetry in those who sing them, together and individually. They are God’s gifts to us so that we can be shaped as his gift to the world.””
