The Songbook of Jesus – Finding astonishing help in the Psalms

As Jesus met people in His time on our planet, strong lyrics from the book of Psalms were never far from His mind. Christ quoted these songs more than any other part of our sacred text. Depth and insight, reality and wrestling brought the writers of the psalms from weary valleys to hilltop praise. In our time together we will look at the astonishing hope in the songbook of Jesus.

• An Anthem of Hope
• A Song of Forgiveness
• A Hymn of Dignity
