Psalm 100

Last week Pastor Craig kicked us off on this new series called Joyride, this series we are going to spend some time downloading the tunes of the bible aka the Psalms .

Pull Examples from Skip and Dj Story about the song Shout

I am a big fan of music and one of the

Point #2: Serve with a Smile

Psalm 100:2 ESV
