I stated in an earlier introductory post to my new devotional series in the Book of Psalms my aspiration to continue the discipline of writing devotionals for my personal edification and for what I pray is a blessing and encouragement to those who follow the musings of this simple shepherd.

My study in The Psalms has been such a blessing I decided to begin a year-long sermon series in The Psalms at Hillsdale, Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM beginning this Sunday. “Getting Ready for Monday” is the theme title for the series and Hillsdale’s pastoral staff will be assisting me in the weekly study. Our goal is that the series will be a personal, practical and powerful study of God’s Word.

 “Thanksgiving, Worship and Praise” is Hillsdale’s theme for the month of November.  In this Sunday’s 10:30am worship service I plan to identify obstacles to an attitude of gratitude in the life of the prophet Elijah.  In the 6:00pm service I will introduce The Psalms to the congregation and, looking at Psalm 1, study “The Way of Joy, Thanksgiving and Peace”.

Join us this Sunday for what I believe will be a rich and rewarding study that will get you ready to face the challenges of Monday morning!
