Core scripture: “I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.” (Psalm 104:33)

Message: I love Christian music.  Whatever mood I am in, there is always a song to help me make sense of the world.  It soothes me as I drive.  It uplifts me while I scrub dishes.  It is my escape.  When frustrations arise, I put pop my earbuds in, and whoosh!  I am soon taken to a place where I am reminded of God’s constant presence, where His love and mercy reign supreme.  Christian music is the rhythm to my summer.

I do not know where you are at today, but God does.  As a matter of fact, God has blessed numerous Christian artists to reach out to you in whichever stage of life you find yourself.  How are you feeling today?  Search below to find the perfect song to help you though the day:
