Course description
Gateway to the Psalms / Psalms: Course One
The book of Psalms has served as the hymnbook and prayerbook of God’s people from ancient times and on into the present. Known as the Psalter, this collection of Holy Spirit–inspired poetry captures the highs and lows of life. The psalms are powerful prayers, guiding us into honest communication with God. They validate our doubts, passions, fears, and longings and show us how to draw near to God in our struggles. This Bible study organizes the psalms thematically, making it easier to grasp their main ideas and apply them to your own conversations with God.
This is the first course of a five-course series exploring the book of Psalms.
