But a close examination of these passages reveal quite a different event from the ritual of 'communion' practiced in today's church. Take a journey with us back through history and let's see what this ancient tradition was - and should be - all about. (And don't be afraid. It's all good.)

These last two (rather simple) furnishings contain important lessons into the way we are to approach God, i.e. the path of Fire and Water. We will look at how Solomon made himself a living sacrifice and how the bronze laver reflects God's Word. But we conclude this lesson with a fascinating spiritual discovery: how Fire and Water are depicted in all three areas of the Tabernacle, and what that means for us!

It provides a review of Israel's history - warts and all. But amidst its chorus of failure and pain interweaves a melody of God's grace and lovingkindness. But the climax of this psalm is its reference to how the Holy One of Israel was wounded, using a unique Hebrew word that points directly at the cross.

But later we are told that "perfect love casts out fear" (1John 4:18). So how can we fear God and love Him at the same time? And what is fear of God really?

Its author, Asaph, decries the wrong in the world and the suffering of his people. In fact, Asaph seems downright depressed!

It is the day that Yeshua stood on the Temple Mount and publicly proclaimed Himself as the Messiah. (It's right there in John's gospel - chapter 10.) And yet, this major event is largely ignored by the Christian community. Why? Well, there is a bit of background that needs explaining which is not taught in today's church.

This psalm could easily have been like one of these. But Psalm 59 has a different tone. Even though David has plenty of reason to be distressed - Saul's minions had surrounded his house to kill him, after all - David seems to have a deep sense of calm and assurance. Though the context of this psalm is tragic, David exudes peace. This psalm is quite beautiful and expresses a deep stillness in the eye of the storm.

It describes the intractability of certain souls who resist the righteous path and are bent on persecuting the innocent. Such a person was King Saul's counselor, Abner, who, traditions teaches, was the inspiration for this psalm. (Read 1Samuel 26.) On a different note, this psalm is one of the most difficult to translate. Hence, I present here three translations: The English Standard Version, the Robert Alter translation, and the Artscroll Publishers translation. We should not be surprised that grappling this psalm is as difficult as understanding the twisted mind of the sociopath.

It is uncertain what this term means, but it is somehow related to fine gold, thus making these "golden" psalms, or maybe David's favorite psalms. Psalm 56 is also the second psalm inspired by the time David disguised his sanity while behind enemy lines. (See also Psalm 34.) In this psalm David expresses his loneliness while under persecution. He set this psalm to a tune called "The Mute Dove of Distant Places". But, as David's powerful psalms often do, this one ends on a high note of hope in God.

But in this plans we ask the question, what makes a wicked person "tick"? What makes a villain a villain? But David, too, had committed the horrible sins of adultery and murder, and yet he is considered a righteous king - a prefiguring of King Messiah Himself. So, what is the difference between Doeg and David? Psalm 53 is almost identical to Psalm 14, but with some profound difference which provide some valuable insights into this question.

David composed this psalm when the prophet Nathan rebuked him regarding his sins against Bathsheba and her husband Uriah. As tragic as David's sin was, it did result in a psalm that provides a path to proper repentance. In this study we will answer the question: is all sin the same? Why did David say that his sin was against God alone? What good did David hope would result from this dark chapter in his life? What part of this psalm has become of the daily prayer liturgy?

It is traditionally believed to describe Korach's wealth, which led to his eventual rebellion and downfall. The authors refer to this psalm as a 'proverb' and a 'riddle', but one truth comes shining through: wealth is a great hindrance to serving God fully from the heart.

Why was this psalm about Jerusalem chosen to be read on the second day of the week, a day know as "division day" - the only day of creation when God did not say "it is good"? Also, how did Jerusalem get its name? We address these and others questions that arise from a close reading of this beautiful and well known psalm.

Why is smacking one open hand against the other such an instinctual thing in human beings? There is actually a very spiritual reason for this universal behavior. As we dive into Psalm 47, we will answer this question and look into the kind of people who will join themselves to "the God of Abraham" in the end times. Join us for a fascinating study of this short but powerful psalm.

Do the institutions and values that were always so stable and dependable seem like they are falling into ruins? If so, this is a psalm that will provide great comfort. This psalm actually counsels us to relax as God has everything covered. There is no need for us to start worrying until God does. (And that just isn't going to happen!)

But since every "jot and tittle" of the Torah has spiritual significance, what is God trying to tell us through this obscure detail? Come along on a journey that will take us to an encounter with Peter, Yeshua, and a very strange fish.
