Mike Cope reflects on his (and our) relationship with the Psalms. The Psalms provide us with the hymnbook of the Bible and assist Christians today when in the peaks and valleys of everyday life, with expressions of deep emotions such as sorrow, hope, and joy. Like the psalmists, we can become encouraged and empowered to express all the emotions life brings our way.

This theme session took place at University Church of Christ on Sunday, September 15, 2019.
