    Introduction To Psalms Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 22, 2020
     | 6,250 views

    This is the introduction to a series of studies on selected Psalms, developed from a series of classes. This sermon does not examine a particular psalm, but makes observations about psalms in general.

Too often I have swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as I should into the depths of meaning and feeling that are expressed by the psalmists. Upon ...read more

    There is so much speculation about heaven but we have very little to go on in the word. People express the hope of heaven being a reunion and we look at that. Whom do you want to meet in heaven? That is what we will consider here. Heaven could be very close.

    Whom will YOU meet in heaven? INTRODUCTION Talk to Christians about heaven and what that will be like, and you have so many variant answers. That is normal, for none of us knows any details and a lot of what we think is more in line with our own assumptions. What will you do there? Will we ...read more
