Series:  Psalms of the Summer

Title: True Grit

We will begin a new series for the summer called: Psalms of the Summer.  The Psalms are the root system of daily prayer. (This has been the consensus of the church for 2,000 years.) Augustine called the the Psalms a “school.” Ambrose provided us with a livelier metaphor: “gymnasium” (where we go for daily workouts, keeping ourselves in shape for a life of spirituality). To pray the Psalms is to embrace the whole gamut of human experience — the bright lights (gospel music) and dark corners of the human soul (the blues). The Psalms equip us to "come to attention" and notice the grace of God that is always at work in our lives. This week will be an introduction to the Psalms as a whole in a study called: TRUE GRIT.
