A Song of Ascents. Which of the "gods" that surround me and offer me happiness, peace, pleasure, etc. shall I look to? The author of this Psalm of Ascents says YHWH is our only choice because He is the creator of heavens and earth and will totally keep us safe & guarded. While the other "gods" need sleep and have limits, YHWH does not! He can be trusted forever.

The conclusion of our talk on Psalm 119. Again, we focus on the theme of persecution/affliction, also we get into the idea of new life that comes from God's Word and the use of the words "Love" and "Steadfast Love" throughout this Psalm.

Continuing our discussion on Psalm 119, we focus on what it means for God to teach those who come to Him in His Word. Sod is a wonderful part of a deep walk in God's Word. By the end, we are also touching on the idea of persecution as it is presented as part of the Psalmist's current experience.

This is the first of a multipart series on the longest psalm/chapter in the Bible. It is no coincidence that the longest chapter in God's Word is all about the greatness of God's Word! Even the introductory stuff is fascinating. :)

A powerful and conquering Messiah is coming to rule Israel. Not only will he be a king, but also a priest! Who is Melchizedek and how does he fit into this picture? How does Jesus use this Psalm? Why is this the most quoted OT passage in the NT?
