Studying the Psalms and Worship

In this series on the book of Psalms and on worship, we begin with the historical background of one of David’s psalms and then look at the psalm that sprang from those events. There are 14 psalms that bear a specific title linking us back to an actual event in David’s life. David didn’t just decide one day, “I think I’ll sit down and write a psalm,” or “I think I’ll write a prayer to God.” No, he was in the midst of some particular circumstances—often tough times when he wrote Psalm 3, 7, 18, 30, 34, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63, 142. This series was inspired by those events!

This series, "Cave Psalms," addresses many of the things we go through in life: times when we are in stretching moments, way beyond our ability to endure; maybe crushing moments or experiences that even take our breath away... defeat, mistreatment, divorce, abuse, break-ups, failures, betrayals, rumors, lies, disappointment, disloyalty, even death. How about problems at school, at home, at work, with family, with relationships, with finances, with friends? Scriptures call these moments trials, tests or persecution, and sometimes temptation. These are the kind of circumstances when, in fact, you want to run, to find a place of safety.
