For All It's Worth: Spirituality in Every Key

Our fourth week in the Reading the Bible For All Its Worth series will focus on the Psalms. Tim will do the set-up this week and Aaron will be speaking from Psalm 25.

Ideas for Week 4: Spirituality in Every Key (March 16)

Same passage presented in a different way
-Visual – collage over cardboard
- Musical – a musical rendition of the psalm
-Reading – A reading of the Psalm

Personal anecdote – sophomore year of college – Valley of the shadow Dealing with depression and anxiety – how God used the Psalms to help him through the year

Quote from book by Dan Mann – God using the scripture to bring him through the dark times from when he first became a believer

Possible quote from Blue Like Jazz

Commentary on the passage


What we’d like to have them thinking beforehand:
During your hard times how do you deal with your grief anxiety and depression what tools do you employ to connect to go d during these rough spots?


If they only remember one thing, it should be:
The Psalms (musical poetic expression) can be used by believers to express ourselves to God in an appropriate and emotive fashion
