Talk 1: Songs of God’s Holy Spirit This discussion focuses on the nature of the Psalms. We will take a look at what John Calvin says is the genius of the entire Psalter, its (attracting) nature. Calvin says the Psalter is “the songs of God’s Holy Spirit, given to the Church, and to be sung (with the Son) back to the Father.” This is a remarkable insight that is pregnant with spiritual potential.

Talk 2: Trumpets, Ashes, and Tears: Epiphanies of God in the Psalms In this discussion we will examine the range of human emotions captured in the Psalter, indicating that the collection of psalms is, as Calvin says, “an anatomy of the entire soul.” We will discuss the Psalter’s breadth and scope, and how we may bring our entire experience, with its immense range of thoughts and feelings, before our Lord’s face.

Talk 3: Praying the Psalms…as Persons, as Families, as a Church During this discussion we will talk a bit about the “how to” for using the Psalter to optimal spiritual benefit and advantage in the several settings of our lives, whether when we’re alone as persons before God’s face, or whether we’re with others (within a family, among strong friends, or among fellow believers in a church).
