Is There Any Hope?
Jim Perdue
Psalm 3:1-8
Intro/Attention
Today, we continue our series, Psalms for the Season. Find Psalm 3 in your Bible and you'll discover David is running for his life from his own son, Absalom.

David wrote this psalm while running for his life. But he still knew that God was his protector and sustainer. And I want God's people to know that you can have hope despite your circumstances because God is greater than your circumstances. There are no ...
