Life on the West Side

When Psalms Call For Doom

July 31, 2026 • Nathan Guy • Season 5 • Episode 57

0:00 | 26:24

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 "When Psalms Call For Doom." This sermon is the fourth installment in our series "Psalms and the Savior." The Scripture reading is from Psalms 109 & 137 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on October 5, 2025. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under LEARN: Christian Scripture.
