Michael teaches an overview of Song of Solomon. The Song of Songs or Song of Solomon is a complex, mysterious, and somewhat uncomfortable book.

The Big Book - Cover to Cover: Ecclesiastes Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

Michael teaches an overview of the book of Ecclesiastes as part of our ongoing series: The Big Book–Cover to Cover. The book of Ecclesiastes seemingly fails to fit in with the rest of Scripture - it has no obvious outline, no narrative. Where proverbs offers practical guidance for living, Ecclesiastes offers musings and observations about this life. This unusual book meets the discouraged and disillusioned in their struggle, and offers a a gentle encouragement toward that which gives meaning.

Indeed, this portion of Scripture is a lot to take on in one sitting. Today we're looking at the Psalter, a collection of national songs from the Israelites. The Psalms come from various authors throughout the Israel's history and offer insight both to Israel's pleas and praise to God, and God's responses to Israel. Join us as we seek to understand how we are to read thes

Show notes

We're moving from the historical books to the Wisdom/Poetry Literature, beginning with the book of Job.
