[Sunday] July 6 - Who is the Beloved? - Christ in the Psalms

LOVE is at the core of Jesus’ PURPOSE, His WORDS, His DEEDS, His DEATH, His RESURRECTION, His ASCENSION, and His sending the HOLY SPIRIT. Today we explore the most important thing we need to know about His SERVANT LOVE.
The Book of Psalms has become one of the most overlooked books in the Bible. The psalms not only helped Jesus grow into being the Son of God, they also reveal Christ to us in helpful ways. We will consider several psalms as we try to put on the mind of Christ.
