In a world that rushes past sorrow and manufactures quick moments of happiness, we have

forgotten how to honestly bring our deepest cries and highest joys before our God. The book of Psalms helps us do just that. Looking at various psalms, this sermon series will help us

rediscover the ancient art of lament—learning to grieve with faith and hope—and the art of

praise—lifting our hearts in gratitude and wonder. Together, these practices invite us to live

more fully before God, with honesty, trust, and awe, in the actual reality of our actual lives.
