Current Sermon Series:  The Psalms

In the Psalms, my journey through the world is transformed into aRiver of Life journey to the unknown recesses of the self – to the inward parts. This new spiritual journey will prove as eventful and unpredictable as the physical one, full of pitfalls and surprises. The biblical journey is transformed from a physical adventure to a spiritual one.

A sense of self is notably absent in all ancient literatures. I, as we commonly use it today to mean one’s interior self, is seldom in evidence before the Psalms. The Psalms, are filled with I’s: the I of repentance, the I of anger and vengeance, the I of self-pity and self-doubt, the I of despair, the I of delight, the I of ecstasy. The Psalms are a treasure trove of personal emotions from poets acutely attuned to their inner states. In this bubbling spring of self-reflection is an unparalleled resource of prayer and praise drawn on repeatedly by Jews and Christians over the millennia.
