July 24, 2024*Repost* Commitments of Church Members
The word "commitment" may evoke a feeling of joy or discomfort. In today's world, commitment is most likely met with disdain and tension. However, we are called to commitments not only in daily life, but also in the church if you call yourself a member.

In this episode re-release, we discuss church membership commitments as they relate to Providence members. Join the discussion and keep a look out for our next membership class this fall.

July 17, 2024*Repost* The Necessity of the Psalms (with Dr. Mark Futato)
The Psalms are filled with rich imagery and a lot of emotion, however, not many of us know the true depth of how valuable the Psalms really are in shaping our view of God and our prayer lives.

In this episode re-release, we discuss the background of the Psalms, why it is important for Christians to read the Psalms, and how reading the Psalms can shape our prayer life and view of God. We are joined by Dr. Mark Futato, who serves as a professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orland, Florida, and has studied and written books over the Psalms.
