Psalm 76; 1-12….DO YOU WANT TO ENJOY THIS PSALM?
Introduction: I am not a Jew, sometimes it is easy to feel inferior as a Gentile – not of the chosen race! I am a Christian and in the Bible I am told that in Jesus there is neither Jew nor Gentile. We are from either background the forgiven children of our Father God. IContinue reading “Psalm 76; 1-12….DO YOU WANT TO ENJOY THIS PSALM?”

Psalm 73: 9-17….What if I give in?
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,and their tongue struts through the earth. – Yesterday we ended with a person trying to fool us that God isn’t important in life.

Psalm 73: 1-9….A caricature of the rebellious!
