Season 5: Psalm 119 •
What can you expect from us as we delve into Psalm 119? A season of us grappling with how to read it. How to understand it. How to feel it. How to live it. How to pray it.
It's a season where we absolutely don't have the answers. But we want to grow in understanding how this psalm, often thought as 'long, repetitive & boring' actually shows us much of Christ, and what it looks like to continue living for him.
