EP 48. "Learning from History" (Psalm 78)

The children of Israel had much to learn from their own history. The failures of the Exodus generation should have served as a constant reminder of the need to be loyal to God. Tragically, the cycle of rebellion persisted but Psalm 78 seeks to break that cycle with some important historical lessons. ---------------------------- Please follow us on these platforms: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jointhesearch Podcast: https://thesearch.buzzsprout.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhe...

"God’s Judgement is Sure" (Psalms 75-76)

The people of Judah endured a season of despair and doubt following the destruction of Jerusalem. They were convinced that their God had been defeated and they did not understand why. However, in Psalm 75, a word comes from the Lord which says, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity" (75:2). Psalms 75 and 76, therefore, are about the certainty of God's judgement.

"Has God Been Defeated?" (Psalm 74)

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Babylonians was a major blow to the people of Judah. To them, it seemed that their God had been defeated by the god of Babylon. In the following years, they struggled to understand how Yhwh could allow such a catastrophe, and Psalm 74 is one of the psalms which ponders this mystery.

"A Blessing for the World" (Psalm 67)

Why does God bless His people? Is it for their comfort and enjoyment? Not according to Psalm 67. In this song, the people ask God for His blessings so that they can become mediator's of his riches by blessing the nations and drawing them back to the source of all blessing--their God. ---------------------------- Please follow us on these platforms: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jointhesearch Podcast: https://thesearch.buzzsprout.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearch Instagram...

"A Call for Extraordinary Judgement" (Psalm 58)

Sometimes the emotional distress of the psalmists is so intense that they cry out for God to hurt and even kill their enemies. These imprecatory psalms can be difficult for Christians to read, especially in light of the teachings of Jesus who said that His disciples should love their enemies. Psalm 58 is one of those graphic psalms in which David asks God to bring about an extraordinary act of judgement. ---------------------------- Please follow us on these platforms: Youtube: https://www.yo...
