Worship Class
There is nothing quite like the power of example. In the Psalms, heroes of old lay bare their hearts before God and before us. We see the God that they praised and doubted, thanked and cursed, and ultimately trusted with their lives. This class will explore the nature of God as revealed by the Psalms as well as the promise he made that a Messiah would come. As we travel the same emotional path of faith that the psalmists did, connecting with God and his promises as they did can only make our walk more certain.
