    Psalm 23 is a commonly known, oft-quoted Psalm which many have memorized or display promptly in their homes. However, from the very beginning of the Psalm, we see that it is quite personal.

Psalm 23, is evidence that David spent time considering and meditating on God ("musing"). How much the Lord might reveal to us about Himself if ...read more

    This is the tenth message in a series over the first five chapters of the book of Romans. This message examines the reasons that the Gospel gives us for being optimistic.
