Psalms For A Cross

July 29, 2026 • Nathan Guy • Season 5 • Episode 55

0:00 | 30:22

The Psalms speak about the Savior. Every song listed in that matchless book points us to God; but when we see Christ unveiled in the New Testament, we go back and sing these songs with new meaning and greater understanding.

The sermon today is titled "Psalms for a Cross." This sermon is the second installment in our series "Psalms and the Savior." The Scripture reading is from Psalm 22 & 31 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on September 21, 2025. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under LEARN: Christian Scripture.
