2023 Theme and study

Daily Psalm encounter

Encountering the Word of God is transformative. While all of scripture speaks to us, the Book of Psalms is unique in that it is a book in which creation speaks to God. As you read, I encourage you to share your thoughts and learnings with each other. We truly grow in our faith only through regular engagement with other believers.

As you read consider the following:

· How does this passage speak to my life right now?

· What words or images were most profound for me in this psalm?

· How should I respond as a result of encountering this psalm?

· Where in my life today can I/did I live out this psalm?

Blessings,

Pastor King
