Psalm 40 (Peter Benedict)
As our preaching team met together, there was a desire to do a sermon series that would help us make it through the challenges of life. The Psalms are a great place to look to do just that. For the next six weeks, we will be hearing messages from the book of Psalms to see what God has for us as we face challenges and navigate through them. One of our Pastors, Peter Benedict, started this series by looking at Psalm 40. We saw how this Psalm is a prayer of testimony, praise, and cry for help and how we can be encouraged in our troubles through this Psalm.
