We continue our study of the Wisdom literature with a study of two of the three connected wisdom books. Proverbs contains a treasure chest of wisdom for living the best life. These are not commands or promises, but they are pointers to how God wants us to live our lives. Ecclesiastes points towards what life looks like when we put things in place of God. Things that may be good and healthy become like vapor or smoke when we make them idols in our lives.
Walking in the Word #23 Sermon Psalm 136: Hesed
In this video, I present a sermon I delivered a few years ago on Psalm 136 and the Hebrew word Hesed
Walking in the Word #22 Song of Songs and Psalms
We begin our look at the Wisdom Literature. Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) is interesting. What do we make of this racy book? On the other hand, Psalms is a deeply moving collection of songs and poetry written by humans to God. However, God uses humans to talk about the Messiah in some very specific ways!
Walking in the Word #21 Ezra and Nehemiah (cont.)
We finish the books of history this week. While Israel has returned from exile, she continues to struggle with her neighbors and her faithfulness to God.
