CTC Psalms Songs of Life by John Houghton
Discover the beauty, depth and raw emotion behind the Psalms
Right in the middle of the Bible, we find not a theological address or a great historical event, but passionate poetry. These wonderfully honest songs of life cover the full range of human emotions – including hope, joy, lament, despair and thanksgiving – while pointing to our faithful, good and eternal God.
These seven insightful sessions help us to discover that:
There are psalms of education, consolation, exasperation, anticipation, lamentation, contemplation and adoration.
The psalms are earthy and realistic in addressing our frail and fallible human condition, but show us how to live a life of faith.
We can be completely honest about our emotions before God, while knowing Him forever to be worthy of our praise.
Icebreakers, Bible readings, personal application and discussion starters make this a rich resource for group or individual study.
