Psalms Session #1 - Psalms of Praise Praise is genuine expression of celebration for who God is and what he does. It’s how we communicate our joy and gratitude to God for his goodness, faithfulness, and righteousness. Psalms of praise, or hymns, celebrate God through words of adoration. Most, if not all, of the Psalms were originally written as lyrics set to music. Many praise Psalms even mention singing and the playing of instruments such as the harp and trumpet. In this session we’ll look closely at two praise Psalms to see what elements they contain and how they can train us to praise God more deeply. (video segment is 14 minutes) |

Ruth Session #1 - Context and Storyline Naomi, her husband, and her sons were Israelites. They were supposed to be committed to the Lord, Israel’s God. They lived in Bethlehem in the land the Lord promised to their ancestors. The Lord’s law urged them to trust him in hard times and forbade Israelites to marry women from pagan Moab (Deut. 23:3). But this was the period of the Judges, when “Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit” (Judges 21:25). Famine struck the Promised Land, and Naomi’s family moved to Moab. This decision had consequences not only for them, but for all Israel. |
