[Registration closed] Grow in the Word Workshop: How to Read the Psalms

  • Furama City Centre (map)
 
 

Thank you for your interest in our class. Registration is now closed.

Many of us have our go-to Psalms. We all love how they speak to our souls, especially in particular seasons of our lives. They contain God’s words to us as well as our words back to Him. However, what about the lesser known Psalms? Or the ones that we don't quite relate to? Are individual psalms meant to be read without connection to the rest? Or is there an overarching message and purpose to the book of Psalms? Why does God use imprecise poetry instead of direct commands? Do we pray Psalms that call down judgment on our enemies? Essentially, how can we pray the Psalms rightly in Christ?

This year’s Grow-In-The Word Workshop (GIW) on Saturday, 12 October, 9am-3pm, in the Furama Ballroom, will help us read Psalms better by covering skills such as:

  • How to breakdown the Psalms to see their structures

  • How to identify genres within the Psalms

  • How to understand Hebrew poetic devices

  • How to read the Psalms with reference to Christ

A series of teaching videos will be available to watch at home prior to the workshop. The Saturday workshop will involve hands-on practice in facilitated groups to apply what we've learnt.
