This month of November, we are going to continue to look through the Psalms, but focused more on the topic of worship.

Today we are going to look at Psalm 13. It is considered a Psalm of Lament, or Psalm of sorrow. In the book of Psalms where David is just singing praises to his God, his creator, but we also see it in many of those Psalms where David is in some sort of a pit. […]

Today as we continue our sermon series through the book of Psalms, we come to Psalm 19. This Psalm was written by David. It was intended to be part of the […]

The post Purse: The Power of God appeared first on St. Joe Church of Christ.

This is a Psalm of the Messiah, the Prince or King. In this psalm, we see that there are people against God, against the Messiah or the Lord’s anointed. Reading this made me ask the questions: Is what is described in this psalm a universal rule that holds true for every nation? Can these verses […]
