In Psalm 5, King David contrasts the righeous and the wicked. This contrast--so stark and so common in the Psalms--is strange to our modern sensibilities. Why, then, is it so common in the Psalms? Is this merely an ancient prejudice? What does the New Testament have to say about this? Join us as we explore the idea of two separate groups, the righteous and the wicked, from God's perspective.

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, as we gather this day, we are reminded that your love knows no limits and no bounds.
