We often turn to the Psalms when wanting to comfort or encourage someone but it’s not always easy to understand a particular psalm.

We’re not always sure if we are taking it out of context. Sometimes we feel like we’re guessing at its meaning and its application. We may be unclear on how the psalm connects to the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is where the Study Resource can help! It’s useful for anyone wishing to understand the Psalms, but it’s a double blessing for elders, deacons, and pastors as they prepare to bring God’s Word into the lives of God’s people.

Before you make a visit, simply spend 15 minutes consulting the Study Resource on a psalm of your choice. Combine that with prayer and reflection, and you’ll soon feel better prepared for your task. Because each chapter is laid out so efficiently under sixteen headings, it won’t take long to figure out basic features like Author & Purpose, Main Message, Christ Connection, and Application.

Make your pastoral visits with greater confidence that you are bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ out of the Psalms accurately and richly.
