Description

Today we would call them Christians, but in those days they were sometimes referred to as people who belonged to "the Way". We still use the same terminology today to describe our earthly pilgrimage. As we make our own way in the world, we speak of people losing their way, or finding their way, or being on their way. Jesus told his disciples "I am the way". This way of speaking did not begin with Jesus but goes all the way back to the Psalms. The very first psalm contrasts "the way of the righteous" with "the way of the wicked." There are two ways to live: God's way and the way of fallen humanity. The Psalms help us to choose and then to live our choice. The psalms in this study cover nearly the full range of material that we find in the Bible's first hymnal. There are psalms of praise and prayer, of suffering and danger, of worship and triumph. We will learn the right way to read, sing, pray, memorize, and meditate on the Psalms. We learn what God loves and hates, what he desires and demands, what he does and plans to do. THIS STUDY BEGINS MARCH 10.
