Psalms in ContexT

PSALMS AND PSALMISTS

The Psalms have been at the center of the worship of God's people for millennia. These songs teach doctrines, shape imaginations, and strengthen hearts for the many circumstances of life. But these words didn't write themselves: they were composed by real people, to meet real needs in their own time. Join us as we deepen our understanding of the Psalms by getting to know the Psalmists.
