Featured Sermon: Praying Our Hate, by Darrell Johnson

What are we supposed to do with all those harsh "cursing prayers" scattered throughout the Psalms? Are we really supposed to pray our hatred? How would that help our people remember 9/11? In this week's featured sermon, "Praying Our Hate," Darrell Johnson shows us how to preach through an imprecatory psalm and draw people closer to Jesus in the process—even in light of terrorism.

This week we also feature:
