A Useful Website and a Solid Book on the Book of Psalms

Tags

Allen Ross, Psalms

This seems like a useful site on the book of Psalms.

Also – I am positive (knowing a lot about the author; I did not read the book yet) that this commentary in the Kregel Exegetical Library (it seems like this is the only book in this series) by Allen P. Ross will be very good.

Preaching Psalm 1: Some Basics for Happiness

It is safe to say that most interpreters of the book of Psalms see psalm 1 as an introduction to the whole Psalter.  This insight is found even with the church fathers (see my posted notes on this psalm below).

For my preparation I benefit a lot from Hans-Joachim Kraus , Derek Kidner, the church fathers, and Spurgeon (The Treasury of David) among others.  In due time I hope to post more links to my resources.

I wish I had the commentaries of Allen Ross and John Goldingay and I hope I will get them soon (though hard to carry them from USA to Korea ).

Here is a link (I do not know if I can upload this) to my first sermon on Psalm 1: Some Basics for Happiness. This was preached at  Hallelujah English Ministry  (I did not record the one at Wangsung English Ministry).

Here are my notes: Notes on Psalm 1: Part I, NOTES on Psalm 1: Part II.  One day I hope to post the slides which are usually done by my lovely gifted wife.

I hope all these notes will be useful for those who want to preach and teach from the Psalter. PTL!

 

Preaching the Psalms

Welcome to Preaching the Psalms.

These days I am preaching from the Psalms at Wangsung English Ministry in Seoul , and the intention is to post my notes and (hopefully) my audio messages on this website.  Of course – I will be preaching only selected psalms: 1, 2, 3…

I decided to preach on the  Book of Psalms because I love it and because I may teach a course on Psalms at my school, now Torch Trinity Graduate University .

I always seek to combine my preaching with my teaching.  This way – I believe – my preaching becomes deeper, and my teaching more practical and alive.

By God’s grace, as always, I would like to preach seeking for Christ, because He clearly said in Luke that “everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luk 24:44 ESV)

I believe that CHRIST is very present in the Psalms.  And with the help of the Holy Spirit I hope to find Him and preach Him with power from above.

So help me God!
