Psalm 73 (Psummer in the Psalms/Elders Intro)

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on some of our favorite Psalms. (4 of 7) - Eric Elves

The book of Psalms is a huge collection of poetry, of wisdom, of prayers, and of hymns written by a whole bunch of different people in the life of Israel. It’s people that are wrestling with the truths of God and wrestling with the brokenness that they find in the world. They are trying in to understand and come to grips with what is going on. Throughout the Psalms you see lots of different emotions being expressed: happiness, joy, sorrow, shame, guilt, despair, hope, excitement, wonder, longing, brokenness, and a slew of other emotions. It is the place in the Bible where feelings are more present that events. Singer/songwriter Sandra McCracken explains, “Psalms give us words when we have none. They prompt us to sing a new song when we cannot find our own voice.” Join us as we learn not only how to read the Psalms, but take time to soak them in.
