Psalms: Our Words to God, God’s Word to Us (Clarke Scheibe)
Listen now
Description
The Psalms, a collection of personal and corporate prayers, is considered Israel's hymnbook and they are often our favourites to which we turn in times of sorrow or joy or petition. However, upon closer examination, we find that these psalms, written over a thousand years by several authors, were placed within an intentional structure of five books, reflecting the first five books of the Bible, the Torah. This talk will look at the themes that give the Psalms an overall trajectory, a guiding promise, which was and is fulfilled wondrously, miraculously, in Jesus.
