Encouragement in Hard Times Part 2

October 27, 2022

Pastor Al Pittman will continue his verse by verse series through the Psalms today, with another look at Psalm eighty-nine.  Here we see the Psalmist remembering God’s covenant with King David, and a sorrow over lost blessings.  Maybe as we come to you today, you feel as though there is little to nothing to be thankful for.  Your life is a mess, people are being cruel to you, your job is being threatened, and you’re in debt up to your ears.  Well, the good news is that in Christ there is something to be thankful for.
