The Psalms were like a songbook for God’s people. Jesus and the New Testament writers used verses from this book more than any other part of the Bible. Every summer, we look at these old prayers and songs to learn how to worship God, share our sadness, and trust Him when life gets hard. In this series, we’ll discover how the Psalms help us say what we really feel and show us the hope we have in God.
