| 1 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 01) Introduction | 3307 | What does God want to accomplish in my heart through the Book of Psalms? He wants to make me a rejoicing, singing Christian! God wants me to learn a new song with every changing experience of life. Ed shares five observations of Psalms as a whole to introduce this series. | Ed Miller | Psalm_01_Instro.mp3 | Psalm 25:14-15 | ||||||
| 2 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 02) Chapter 1 | 3307 | Psalm 1 is the "prologue psalm" both in its method of striking contrasts and message. The psalm is loaded down with wonderful truths about the "blessednesses" of the man planted by the rivers and the full picture of what it means to be separated from and separated unto. "The only responsibility of the Christian," Ed remarks, "is to drink...[for] God has made every provision." | Ed Miller | Psalm_02_Trinity.mp3 | Psalm 1 | ||||||
| 3 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 03) Trinity Word Pictures | 3307 | To get the maximum benefit out of Psalms, study them to know God through the tremendous figures of speech. Psalms is loaded with common expressions of everyday life, pictures and superlatives to unveil God's most intimate self to us. Ed gives a sample the whitest thing on earth (snow) and the sweetest natural thing (honey) as pictures for which the reality is infinitely greater. | Ed Miller | Psalm_03_Trinity_WordPictures.mp3 | Psalm 18:2, Psalm 51:7, Psalm 103:11-12 | ||||||
| 4 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 04) Word Pictures Conclusion | 3307 | Ed continues various word pictures, such as how protected we are as the apple of God's eye, how sure footed we as having hind's feet, and how thought of as the sands of all the earth. A song is what God wants to accomplish in our hearts. | 1999-12-16 | Ed Miller | Psalm_04_WordPicturesConclusion.mp3 | Psalm 17:8-9, Psalm 18:33, Psalm 77:19 | |||||
| 5 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 05) Prayer Pt. 1 | 3307 | How do the prayers in Psalms help me in my prayer life? Every prayer in Psalms is a song; your please's become thank you's. These short and inspired prayers are "master key prayers", general prayers that express God's heart, like "Father, glorify Your name." Prayer in its essence is a spiritual pouring out of our hearts to God. | Ed Miller | Psalm_05_Prayer.mp3 | Psalm 62:8, Romans 8:26 | ||||||
| 6 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 06) Prayer Pt. 2 | 3307 | Ed shares a rich selection of principles about prayer in this message. Prayer is not something you say; it you. God regards the whole life (groaning, sighing, weeping, looking, desiring) as prayer, as seen in the Psalms. The goal of prayer is not answers but the knowledge of God. | Ed Miller | Psalm_06_Prayer.mp3 | Psalm 18, Ephesians 3:20 | ||||||
| 7 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 07) Prayer Pt. 3 | 3307 | Ed shares helpful thoughts from study of prayers in the Psalms to make forward steps in our praise life. The encouragement is to pray "telescopically" (broad, general prayers), get grounded thoroughly in God's holiness, and avoid being "prayer-centered" by keeping your eyes on the Lord. Also, Ed tackles some puzzling emphases in the Psalms, such as the apparent abundance of personal vengeance. | Ed Miller | Psalm_07_Prayer.mp3 | Psalm 25:2-4 & numerous references | ||||||
| 8 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 08 - Historical Headings) Chapter 3 | 3307 | Sometimes the background helps you enter the psalm. Psalm 3 was a song that came as a result of David's failures with polygamy and failure to execute justice on Absalom's murder. The good news is that we can still expect victory in the Lord even when the trouble that comes to us is our fault. | Ed Miller | Psalm_08_HistoricalHeadings.mp3 | Psalm 3 | ||||||
| 9 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 09 - Historical Headings) Chapters 34, 56, 52 | 3307 | These three psalms David wrote praising God for undeserved deliverance from trials that developed from leaning to his own natural strength and cleverness. We can take courage that God is going to turn things around in the end and deals with us with the "deep you" of the heart's direction rather than the "surface you" that makes mistakes along the way. | Ed Miller | Psalm_09.mp3 | Psalm 34, 56, 52 | ||||||
| 10 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 10 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapter 120: Introduction | 3307 | Ed begins a new series on the "Psalms of Ascent" or "Pilgrim Psalms" from Psalm 120 through Psalm 134. The order of the psalms is a spiritual history of your heart ascending into the knowledge of God. Psalm 120 begins the journey with a "holy dissatisfaction" to be delivered from unreality. | Ed Miller | Psalm_10_InstroToPsalmsOfAscent.mp3 | Psalm 120 | ||||||
| 11 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 11 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapter 121: Looking to the Lord | 3307 | The second step in advancing in Christ is the simplicity of faith: I will lift up my eyes. If I look to the Lord alone, He will take care of everything else in my life. | Ed Miller | Psalm_11_LookingToLord.mp3 | Psalm 121 | ||||||
| 12 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 12 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapter 122: Reality | 3307 | Are you looking in reality to Jesus? This psalm goes beyond talking about victory over sins and union with the Lord to actual possession. As we look to Jesus alone, He opens our eyes to see the many saints of the Body of Christ 'standing within the gates' of Jerusalem, a physical picture of the new Jerusalem, the metropolis of the whole universe. | Ed Miller | Psalm_12_Psalms_Chap122Reality_cut.mp3 | Psalm 122 | ||||||
| 13 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 13 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapter 123: Surrender | 3307 | Waiting on the Lord is not passivity but focusing on the Lord and listening for the next command. It is total surrender in that it is faith that is willing to be done unto. In God's sovereignty even the devil's sweat is for the purpose of making you a better Christian; just ask Job. | Ed Miller | Psalm_13_Psalms_Chap123Surrender.mp3 | Psalm 123 | ||||||
| 14 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 14 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapters 124-125: Invincible Grace | 3307 | Psalm 124 contains three graphic pictures (a wild beast, a raging river, the snare of the fowler) that picture the invincible grace of God. It has been the unconquerable grace of God watching over you all the way! Psalm 125 shows the security and stability of one grounded in the truths of the first five Psalms of Ascent. | Ed Miller | Psalm_14_Psalms_InvinceableGrace.mp3 | Psalm 124 - 125 | ||||||
| 15 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 15 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapters 126-127: Fruit | 3307 | Two more great marks of a life that is ascending in union with the Savior are liberty and fruit. Psalm 126 illustrates the principle of Christian joy when delivered from any bondage. Psalm 127 shows the fruit (i.e., children) that comes when one sets one's heart upon the Lord. "Any plan will work," says Ed, "if God blesses it." | Ed Miller | Psalm_15_Chap127Fruit.mp3 | Psalm 126 - 127 | ||||||
| 16 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 16 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapters 128-130 | 3307 | The chief principle of Psalm 128 is contentment, a blessed satisfaction that comes from trusting Christ. Psalm 129 is the one who touches every situation with the throne of God. The glorious truth of Psalm 130 is the believer who does not live under condemnation. | Ed Miller | Psalm_16_Chap128-130.mp3 | Psalm 128 - 130 | ||||||
| 17 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 18 - Psalms of Ascent) Chapters 132-134: Clincher | 3307 | What is the highest life in Christ of the Psalms of Ascent? Psalm 132 advances from us resting to the Lord to the Lord resting in us. Psalm 133 moves upward to the blessing of life forever more through Christ our High Priest. The climactic psalm (134) pictures priests by night who are occupied with watching and praising the Lord. | Ed Miller | Psalm_18_Chap120-134ClincherToPsOfAscentt.mp3 | Psalm 132 - 134 | ||||||
| 18 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 19 - Messianic Psalms) Introduction | 3307 | These 14 psalms designated as "Messianic Psalms" are selected as such because of their quotation in the New Testament applied to our Lord Jesus. God uses David as a picture of Messiah (the Anointed One) and in Christ fulfills the great poetical language that far transcended David's experience. Ed closes with three simple suggestions of getting all God's heart in these Messianic psalms. | Ed Miller | Psalm_19IntroToMessianicPsalms.mp3 | Psalm 2:12, 1 Peter 1:10-11, Luke 22:44-45 | ||||||
| 19 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 20 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 2: God's King | 3307 | Psalm 2 paints a portrait of the everlasting sonship of the King. The main message is: Jesus reigns. Ed outlines 5 observations of how Psalm 2 is a good preparation for the Messianic psalms as a whole. | Ed Miller | Psalm_20GodsKing.mp3 | Psalm 2, Acts 4:25-28 | ||||||
| 20 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 21 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 8: Lord of All Mankind | 3307 | Man was creation to be lord over God's creation. Though we be nothing, we are called to trust Jesus, who has all authority. The key to laying hold of this psalm is Jesus' spiritual application of it in Matthew 21: come as a little babe. | Ed Miller | Psalm_21Chap8.mp3 | Psalm 8, Hebrews 2:5-9, Matthew 21:17 | ||||||
| 21 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 22 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 40: Birth & Perfect Life | 3307 | Psalm 40 is a salvation psalm singing about God's unnumbered mercies and man's unnumbered sins. The life of the Christian is one who delights to obey God; without delight there is no obedience. The reality behind the sacrificial system (the picture) was to David "sincerity" but to Jesus, "It's Me." | Ed Miller | Psalm_22Chap40.mp3 | Psalm 40 | ||||||
| 22 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 23 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 41: Betrayal | 3307 | Athithophel, David's trusted counsellor, is in several striking ways a shadow of Judas who betrayed Jesus. Ed also contrasts the differences between Athithophel and Judas to get closer to the heart of God. | Ed Miller | Psalm_23Chap41.mp3 | Psalm 41 | ||||||
| 23 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 24 - Messianic Psalms) Chapters 69 & 22: Sufferings & Crucifixion | 3307 | The "Calvary Psalms" answers the question why did Jesus suffer (Ps. 69) and how He suffered (Ps. 22). Jesus as the innocent sufferer means practically for us that undeserved suffering is a blessing for someone else. The rich descriptive language of the cross in Psalm 22 has application as well, that unanswered prayer is only imagined and it ends in a song; God will come through! | Ed Miller | Psalm_24Chap69.mp3 | Psalm 69, 22 | ||||||
| 24 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 25 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 16: Resurrection | 3307 | Psalm 16 is one of the most God-centered psalms of all the psalms, so fitting for the theme of the victorious life! The more we delight in the Lord, the more we delight in fellow Christians. Whatever our lot in life, we are supported by the Lord, so that we may boldly say with the hymnist: "It is well with my soul." | Ed Miller | Psalm_25Chap16.mp3 | Psalm 16, Acts 2:25-28 | ||||||
| 25 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 26 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 118: Exaltation | 3307 | Psalm 118 is very messianic, being quoted 11 times in the New Testament, centering upon the rejected Cornerstone and the second coming of the Lord Jesus. God surprised the psalmist with deliverance, and in Christ the surprise was the resurrection! | Ed Miller | Psalm_26Chap118.mp3 | Psalm 118 | ||||||
| 26 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 27 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 68: Ascension of Christ | 3307 | Some have called this messianic psalm of victory one of the grandest psalms in the Old Testament. The psalmist saw the God that was to be the same as He is and ever will be. The reality of Christ's ascension, as applied by the Holy Spirit in Ephesians, excels even this marvellous picture. | Ed Miller | Psalm_27Chap68.mp3 | Psalm 68, Ephesians 4:8-13 | ||||||
| 27 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 28 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 45: Marriage | 3307 | This Messianic Psalm is a love story of two worlds that begins and ends with the groom at his royal best. No one knows with certainty which historic king it was, but no doubt it pictures the Lord Jesus Christ and His union with His Bride. | Ed Miller | Psalm_28Chap45.mp3 | Psalm 45 | ||||||
| 28 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Psalm 29 - Messianic Psalms) Chapter 110 | 3307 | Psalm 110 is the most Messianic of all the psalms, and is not only quoted in the New Testament more than any other psalm but any other book in the Old Testament. Messiah will be a priest upon a throne, served by an army of willing servants. The Lord Jesus is like Melchizedek--the only priest-king, mysterious, and just shows up when you need Him! | Ed Miller | Psalm_29Chap110.mp3 | Psalm 110 | ||||||
| 29 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Royal Psalms 01) Chapters 93 & 94 | 3307 | What should our life look like if Christ is reigning in our hearts? The first truth is a call to faith. Psalm 93 shows the Lord Jesus as entire Creator and absolute Lord. Then Psalm 94 comes along and it seems like the wickedness of man is triumphing. When by all appearances it seems that Christ is not reigning, faith sees Christ's throne infinitely higher than the mightiest waves that pound against it! | Ed Miller | Royal_Psalms_01.mp3 | Psalm 93, Psalm 94 | ||||||
| 30 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Royal Psalms 02) Chapters 93 & 94 | 3307 | Unfortunately only the first 17 minutes were recorded, but Ed gives an excellent overview of the Royal Psalms and summary of the message of Psalm 93 and 94 from Part #1. We are to take the Lord Jesus' reign by faith. It is God's will that you reign with Christ, not just survive or get by. | Ed Miller | Royal_Psalms_02.mp3 | Psalm 93, Psalm 94 | ||||||
| 31 | Old Testament Books | Poetry | Psalms | (Royal Psalms 03) Chapters 99 & 100 | 3307 | "The climax of the Christian experience of knowing Christ as King," says Ed, "has to do with a revelation of God Himself." The royal psalms progress from the song of rest to the song of victory to this song of service. The King has stepped down from His throne to shepherd His sheep, a great principle that serving the Lord with gladness comes from letting Him serve you. | Ed Miller | Royal_Psalms_03.mp3 | Psalm 99, Psalm 100 |
