Anthems: Week One

In the first week of the "Anthems" series, Pastor Nate Gagne compares Shawn Mendes' song "If I Can't Have You" to Psalm 16 in the Bible. What we find is that Mendes' idea of a life essentially on hold without an important person at the center is not new, Solomon was singing about the same idea thousands of years before. The difference is that Shawn is putting his faith in a human relationship that seems to already be failing him. Solomon, on the other hand, speaks about putting his faith in a relationship with God & how blessed he was because of that.
