About the Series
Summer 2018
What would happen if you told God how you really feel or what you really think? Have you ever found yourself praying the same words over and over again without really opening up with God?
No other part of the Bible exposes our inner struggles more than the Psalms. Each Psalm reaches beyond the world of sight and sound to reveal what our senses long to see and hear—our authentic self and the heart of God.
Join us this summer as we walk through the Psalms and learn to pray real prayers. Don’t worry. God is big enough to handle all your pain, rage, fear, desire for control, prejudice, greed, doubt, unfulfilled longings… or any other thoughts or feelings stirring inside you. He’s inviting us to take off our mask and spend this summer in the Psalms.

Renewed Hope: Heaven is for Real
From Series: "Renewed"
Let’s be honest: life is brutal. In a sense, life can be described as the process of losing everything we’ve ever had and everyone we’ve ever loved. G. K. Chesterton writes, “We all feel the riddle of the earth. The clouds and curtains of darkness, the confounding vapors, these are the daily weather of this world.” Unfortunately, escapism won’t fix it, no matter which version we choose: the religious version (prosperity through faith), the secular version (prosperity through hard work), or the pleasure version (abandoning all self-restraint). It will take more than a silver-lining to cope with the brokenness of this world, even for an optimist. So, what hope do we have? Here it is in a nutshell: Jesus is coming again to renew and restore all things! In the future resurrection, God wants to restore everything life has taken from you. This is the grand finale of God’s storyline, and it has been God’s goal since the beginning.

Going Deeper
The Psalms bring us into a chorus of worship, to our knees in desperation, and into a community that lives together in the presence of God. Read through the purpose and instructions on how to use this study. There is freedom in the amount of time, study, and depth you choose to give to this study.
Let’s ask God to move in our hearts and in our church to establish a growing movement of prayer and praise!
