"They Called...He Answered Them"

Psalm 99:6-8

July 11, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards

September 5, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards • Psalm 117

Psalm 117 is the gospel in miniature. Here, both Jew ("the people") and Gentile ("the nations") are called upon to praise Jehovah.

August 22, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards • Deuteronomy 33:26–29
