Psalm 71

Do you ever feel that time is slipping by way too quickly? That you are growing old and no longer have much to offer? Is so, then this psalm was written for you. David was advanced in years when he composed Psalm 71, and in it he expresses how God's hand supports us from before we were born and even beyond the grave. This psalm is a great blessing to all who need encouragement in their latter years, but it also includes a beautiful secret - the secret of the sapphire - which reveals where God hides and how He can be found.

Psalm 70

If you experience a bit of "deja vu" reading this psalm, there is a good reason. Psalm 70 is almost identical to Psalm 40. Why does the Bible contain two nearly identical psalms? There are two main theories, but one is better than the other (in my humble opinion), and I want to share it with you. So come along as we look into this short and beautiful psalm ... or, should I say, 'psalms'?

These, and other questions are addressed in this fascinating discussion about this fascinating day.

Psalm 69

Psalm 69 is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament scriptures. It is also sometimes called a twin to Psalm 22 - the crucifixion psalm, and in this psalm we can clearly hear the voice of Messiah. Come along for a fascinating journey through this fascinating psalm.

Rosh Hashanah

"Rosh Hashanah" is not mentioned in Scripture, so where did it get its name? If the spring month of Nisan is the beginning of months, how can Rosh Hashanah be the beginning of the year?

Join us for a fascinating look into the mysterious holy day that is the beginning of the fall moedim.

The Torah Incarnate

What lies behind John's claim that "the Word became flesh"? The answer is found in two unlikely places: Hosea and Proverbs. Come on a journey as we explore God's ancient relationship with the Torah and how it found expression in the life of Messiah.

Psalm 68
