Summer Sermon Series
The Book of Psalms is the first book of the third section of the Hebrew Bible called Ketuvim (“Writings”). The book is an anthology of Hebrew religious hymns. There are several types of psalms, including hymns or songs of praise, communal and individual laments, and royal psalms. There are psalms filled with wisdom, that talk of pilgrimages as well as individual thanksgivings.
In times of both joy and sorrow the psalms have provided a respite for God’s people for hundreds of years. We cry with them. We mourn with them. We praise God with them.
Throughout the summer, Rev. Dan will lead us through a sermon series covering ten of the psalms. This “essential playlist” will hopefully allow us to see the world and ourselves afresh!
