Community Bible Study members across the world will be studying the brand new study of Psalms for the 50th anniversary in

the 2025-2026 season.

Psalms is a collection of 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers that come from different eras in Israel’s history.

Seventy-three of these psalms are connected to King David, who was a poet and harp player.

There were also many other authors invol­ved. Asaph wrote 12 poems, the sons of Korah pro­d­uced 11, and other worship leaders in the temple contri­buted as well (Heman and Ethan wrote one each.

Two are connected to King Solo­mon and one other to Moses. Nearly one-third of the poems (49, to be exact) are anonymous.

Many of these poems were used by Israel’s temple choirs but the book of Psalms is not actually a hymnbook.

 In the period after Israel’s exile to Babylon, these ancient songs were gath­ered together with many other Hebrew poems and inte­nt­ionally arranged into the book of Psalms.

The entire work has a unique design and message that you won’t notice unless you read it beginning to end.

The Big Idea

Psalms teaches us to neither ignore our pain nor let it determine our lives. God will fulfill his promises from the Torah and send the

Messiah. This book is all about the lament, praise, faith, and hope of God’s people.

Matthew (30 weeks)

Matthew wrote by the power of the Holy Spirit, primarily to his fellow Jews, proving through Scripture that Jesus’s life and ministry fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. In studying this Gospel, you can clearly hear Matthew’s message: Jesus is indeed the long-awaited Jewish Messiah, the King of kings and Lord of lords, Immanuel, God with us!

Join us as we take this exciting journey through the study of Matthew.
