Summary
The sermon series begins with the book of Psalms, exploring its nature as an ancient prayer book for Israel, Jesus, and now the church. Key themes include the contrast between the righteous and the wicked, as detailed in Psalm 1, and the analogy of the Psalms mirroring life's lament and praise. The practical takeaway is to embrace the Psalms as a guide for "hand-me-down spirituality," learning to pray through them rather than relying on a DIY approach.
