This is a psalm that would be sung by the nation of Israel during their times of thank-offerings. While making sacrifices of praise. There were celebrations held during the worship times of Israel that included making sacrifices. Sacrifices made, specifically, to praise God and be grateful to him. This is the context in which this...
If You are looking to find Jesus who is life and life in its abundance you will find him as you join him on the streets of the marketplace and at the party. It was never God’s idea that the church retreats into seclusion. Instead, we are to be where the world is even though...
