A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” The imprecatory psalms are hard to sing because they feel emotional…and angry.

In fact, they’re a representation of God’s hatred of sin, and maybe the reason they make us feel “uncomfortable” is because we don’t hate sin the same way.

Before we sing them though, remember that we could have sin ourselves. If we’re willing to “call down the thunder” on others, make sure you’re not going to call it down on yourself, too.

A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” An acrostic is a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words. It’s an easy way to remember something that’s really important so you can recall it later. It also explains the entirety of a subject, such as Psalm 119 does with the Word of God.

Bible prophecy can be tough. It’s filled with images and metaphors and descriptions of events that could be really far in the future, or just around the corner.

Because of its difficulty, it can also be abused. In this lesson, we go over a few key ideas to remember any time you approach any kind of Biblical prophecy so that we can get the point of what God is saying.

I’ve heard a lot of people in my life talk about how “the church is dying” and “nobody cares about the Gospel anymore.”

I get why they say it. After all, anecdotal evidence and cold hard data show that people are attending services less than they used to.

A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” Psalms of history remind us of our past so that we can approach the future with clarity and hope.

A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” The Hallelujah Psalms are primarily located in the back of the book and usually serve a very general purpose (although some can be specific). Why is it important for us to think on these Psalms and how can they help us in modern day worship?

Prayer is regarded by Christians as one of our greatest assets, and rightfully so. But is there a point where it becomes disrespectful to go to God in prayer?

In this lesson, we look at three times when prayer is not disrespectful (that are sometimes thought to be so), and three times when prayer is disrespectful.

A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” Psalm 51 is one example of a psalm of penance — one that teaches us how we need to feel the effects of sin deep inside of us if there’s any hope of actually changing our ways.

The Parable of the Dragnet is only two verses long, and yet it has the ability to fundamentally change your understanding — and approach — of evangelism?

How? By simply reminding us of the value of telling every single person we know about the Gospel, and letting God handle the rest.

A message from the series “Songs of the Saints.” The psalms shine brightest when they’re helping us reveal emotions we may not know how to express. In this introduction, we talk about the importance of the Psalms, how they’re constructed, and how we can use them in our growth.
