    Special Episode: A Reminder of Why

    As we come to the end of the series, we look at what we had wanted to achieve - why we chose to do what we did. Hopefully, you will see some of our aims being fulfilled in this series.

    Episode 18: High Praise Indeed

    A Christological Interpretation is something that we can identify in certain Psalms. How God will carry out His plan may surprise some, but for those who believe, the response must be one of Praise. "Sing Psalms to the Lord, you who love Him", as verse 4 of this - Psalm 30 - tells us.

    Episode 17 You Can’t Fake That

    We begin with some remarks about Church architecture before moving onto the central question of Psalm 15 - Who Can Enter The Lord's Tent? There's a few conditions, but the main one is that they must be people with God's law written on their heart.

    Episode 16: By The Rivers of Babylon

    Boney M made this Psalm famous in the song of this same name, but it hides a text filled with raw emotion, and a terrible image at the end. 
All we can bring to prayer is who we really are - and sometimes that is as people filled with anger, rage, despair, disappointment, and even revenge - this Psalm reminds us that God understands how we feel.

    Episode 15 Blessings

    God blesses us in so many ways. But the blessings of creation are highlighted in this beautiful Psalm which pulls us from just 'admiring' God's wonderful creation or 'dominating it' and using it for our own means; to becoming stewards of creation, caring for it and recognising God's living presence there. "Laudato Si" - praise be..

    Episode 14: WWJD-WWYD?

    "Into your hands I commit my spirit". These last words of Jesus on the Cross, which we hear on Good Friday are a central part of Psalm 31, but, as we'll hear in the episode, Jesus addresses them to his Father, and that makes all the difference. However, its not what Jesus would do that counts now, but rather, given what we know about Jesus - what will you do?

    Episode 13: What are your idols? Holy Thursday Psalm 115

    In Psalm 115, we are reminded about the dangers of being led away from God by idols, some of which can include power, status, or pleasure. The response to these is to root ourselves in a loving trust in our God who acts. By remembering His action we can develop enduring and lasting values in our lives.

    Episode 12: The God-ness of God

    The challenge of using human language to describe the utter unknowability of God is clearly seen in the images used in this Psalm - 33 - to describe God's 'heart'. Our words fall short of the reality of God but the call is that we come to know the heart of God through the word of God, the work of God and God's Covenantal love.
