Grow in the Word (GIW): How to Read the Psalms

Written By Rebecca Shang

Many of us have our go-to Psalms. We all love how they speak to our souls, especially in particular seasons of our lives. They contain God’s words to us as well as our words back to Him. However, what about the lesser known Psalms? Or the ones that we don't quite relate to? Are individual psalms meant to be read without connection to the rest? Or is there an overarching message and purpose to the book of Psalms? Why does God use imprecise poetry instead of direct commands? Do we pray Psalms that call down judgment on our enemies? Essentially, how can we pray the Psalms rightly in Christ?

The teaching videos will cover skills such as:

  • How to breakdown the Psalms to see their structures

  • How to identify genres within the Psalms

  • How to understand Hebrew poetic devices

  • How to read the Psalms with reference to Christ


    (This workshop included a hands-on session to apply the content above. We highly encourage you to register for future GIW workshops to have a richer experience of the workshop.)
