Details

Though their original contexts may seem strange, the Psalms meet us where we are. The Psalms are raw and real, they express intimacy with God, and they help us bridge the gap of understanding with others. In this workshop a church planting pastor and a campus minister tell of the vitality and relevancy of the Psalms in their worshiping communities. They also share experiences and examples from daily life and corporate worship and provide ample opportunity to listen and learn.
