Windows on the Soul

May 5th, 2008

Windows on the Soul 

Sunday Series

The Parables of Jesus and the Psalms of David are both windows on the soul. Through the window of the Parables we see the heart of God graciously reaching down to humanity. Through the window of the Psalms we see the heart of humanity struggling to reach up to God. Both are filled with powerful images, honest emotion and clear instruction.

If you want to look through God’s window, then join us on Sunday mornings as we think through the parables and on Sunday evenings as we reflect on the Psalms.
