Summary

The Psalms! What are they? Why are they important? How can we better study them? Emma Dotter is joined with Watermark Worship Leader Jon Abel as he explains that the Psalms give us permission to pour out our hearts to God. These passages are not sugar-coated, but raw emotion before the Lord, and reading them allows us to into the journal of people who followed God before us.

Additional Scripture References:
Psalm 90- written by Moses
Psalms of Ascent: 120-134
