Psalm

Lesson 3 of 12 January 28, 2024

The class began with announcements about upcoming missions, an evangelism seminar, and a youth campout before moving into the study of Psalm 145. Clint Davison introduced the framework of Psalms of Orientation, Disorientation, and Re‑orientation, focusing on the Orientation Psalms that celebrate God’s inherent greatness. By reading Psalm 145, the group identified recurring themes such as God’s graciousness, compassion, sovereignty, and providence, noting how the psalmist praises God simply because of His nature rather than personal circumstance. The teacher linked these attributes to Exodus 34:6‑7, emphasizing the biblical consistency of God’s character across Testaments. Further discussion highlighted how creation itself demonstrates divine order, using contemporary examples like health research and weather forecasting to illustrate the reliability of God’s design. The class concluded by encouraging participants to recognize and praise God’s ongoing work in everyday life, reinforcing the central message that God’s greatness invites universal worship.

Psalm 145

I will praise you, my soul; while I live I will praise you. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
