Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 11, 2022

This is the opening sermon in the series and explores Psalm 1 and the implications for Christians today.

We are beginning a new series called Sermon in the Psalms. What is nice about the Psalms is they lend themselves very well to what is called topical preaching.

The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
