PSA293 James 1 – Trials of the Jews mp3 In this message, we begin a study of the book of James. James is the first of the seven “general epistles” not written by Paul or his company. It is short, but it provides unique teaching not in Paul’s books. James was the Lord’s half-brother, a […]

PA517 Psalm 89:27-52 mp3 In this message, we continue the psalm contrasting the brightness of the covenant made with David and with the darkness of the dishonor his heir is currently experiencing. He promised to be with David heirs for the outflow, to punish them if they disobeyed Him, but never to take His mercy […]

PA516 Psalm 89:1-26 mp3 In this psalm, the psalmist, Ethan the Ezrahite, pleads on behalf of the heir of David’s throne, who was being greatly dishonored at the time it was written by a foreign invader. He speaks of the greatness of Jehovah and the covenant He made with David. He speaks of His faithfulness […]

PA515 Psalm 88:1-18 mp3 In this message, we consider this, the gloomiest psalm in the book, apparently written by a hopeless leper, trusting in Jehovah in spite of the darkness he lives in. He is near to the grave, cut off from God and from hope. All who knew him distanced themselves from him, as […]

PA514 Psalm 86:1-87:7 mp3 In this message, we consider Psalm 86, the only psalm of David in the third, Leviticus book of Psalms. It is a prayer of his, addressed to Yehovah throughout. He calls on Yahweh to preserve his soul and save him. Then, he looks forward to the day when all nations will […]

PA513 Psalm 84:1-85:13 mp3 In this message, we consider Psalm 84, the song of a Levite, for a time cut off from the house of the LORD, now triumphantly returning there for one of the feasts, rejoices in the glories of God’s house on earth, stating boldly that he would rather be there than anywhere […]

PA512 Psalm 83:6-18 mp3 In this message, we examine the final psalm of Asaph. This is a psalm of utmost importance because it provides us with information about the character of the Great Tribulation. It lists ten nations that form a confederation against Jehovah and His anointed, which informs us about the same ten-kingdom confederation […]

PA511 Psalm 81:1-82:8 mp3 In this message, we examine Psalm 81, another Psalm of Asaph, a psalm that Rotherham suggests was sung by a wandering Levite traversing the northern kingdom, singing psalms to the people and trying to encourage them to return to the true God. Then we consider Psalm 82, another psalm of Asaph, […]

PA510 Psalm 80:1-19 mp3 In this message, we consider Psalm 80, another Psalm of Asaph. Rotherham thinks it to be in the same context as Psalm 79 and another appeal to the northern kingdom to return to their God, but Bullinger thinks it was written while the nation was still whole, perhaps at the time […]

PA509 Psalm 79:1-13 mp3 In this message, we consider another psalm of Asaph, which Bullinger again suggests was during Rehoboam’s reign and the defilement of the temple by Pharaoh Shishak. The nations around Israel mock their now-desolated condition. The psalmist wonders how long this will last, and God will allow His enemies to mock His […]
