Summer in the Psalms
This summer, our church will spend eight weeks walking through selected psalms that help us learn how to relate to God in every season of life.
The Book of Psalms has been called the hymnbook and prayer book of God’s people. More than any other book in Scripture, the Psalms teach us how to bring our hearts before the Lord. They give voice to praise and lament, confidence and fear, confession and thanksgiving, joy and sorrow. They remind us that faith is not the absence of struggle but the decision to bring every struggle to God.
One of the reasons we chose these particular psalms is that they align with a prayer practice we have encouraged as a church family for years. We challenge our members to pray through the Psalm that corresponds to the calendar day of the month. For example, on the fifth day of the month, you would pray Psalm 5. On the twenty-fifth day, you could pray Psalm 25, and in subsequent months, you can also add thirty and pray Psalm 55, Psalm 85, Psalm 115, and so on. This simple habit helps believers develop a consistent prayer life while becoming more familiar with one of the most beloved books in the Bible.
The psalms selected are on the psalm of that particular Sunday.
Throughout this series, we will explore several of those psalms together and discover how God meets His people in every circumstance of life.
