A Memorial Day Reminder (1 of 7)
Series: Summer in the Psalms

And the Word of God is a great place to go to find the things we should never forget. Psalm 136 is a very interesting psalm. There's an oft-repeated phrase that is very common in the Old Testament: ''For His steadfast love endures forever.'' So, instead of reading the entire chapt ...
