Psalms E4 — In this short series on the Psalms, we’ve aimed to adopt the language of these ancient poems as a guide for our own prayers. In this final teaching, Tim explores the doubt and crisis of faith presented in Psalm 73. When the poet looks at the world around him, he sees little that his faith can explain. But rather than suppressing his doubt, the poet chooses to work through his doubt by giving full voice to it before God. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on July 21, 2013.

Psalms E1 —The book of Psalms has played a significant role in Jewish and Christian history for thousands of years. Observant Jews have always memorized and prayed the Psalms. At multiple points in Jesus’ life, he used the language of the Psalms to express his own thoughts. And Jesus models for us what it can look like to use the Psalms as the language of our own prayers. In this first teaching of a four-part series, Tim explores Psalm 3 as a way to pray when we're in the midst of great fear and anxiety. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on May 19, 2013.
