Faith without religion.
A Summary of This Teaching
In this teaching, we moved through six chapters of Psalms, covering themes of trust, salvation, and the sheer power of God’s presence. The Psalms reflect the cries of humanity—our fears, doubts, and longing for deliverance—while also calling us to recognize the greatness of Yahava’s mercy, strength, and ultimate plan.
One of the major takeaways from this study is how the voice of the Lord is referenced throughout the scriptures—not just in spoken revelation but through creation itself. We discussed how the forces of nature—thunderstorms, earthquakes, and even the rhythm of the sea—serve as reminders of God’s power. These are moments that cause humanity to pause, feel awe, and recognize something far greater than ourselves.
We also explored the role of the temple in the Old Testament, contrasting it with Christ’s fulfillment of the law. While ancient believers relied on a physical temple to experience God’s presence, we now understand that Christ is the ultimate temple—our direct access to God. This shift changes everything. Instead of material rituals and sacrifices, we are invited into a personal, spirit-led relationship with Him.
A key point in this teaching was the nature of waiting on Yahava. The Psalms remind us that waiting is not passive—it’s an active trust in God’s plan. Though we may face trials, doubts, and setbacks, we are called to stand firm, trusting that He is working even when we don’t see immediate answers.
We ended with an important reflection: God is not concerned with our pursuit of temporary happiness—He calls us to something deeper. Joy. While happiness is fleeting, joy is anchored in knowing Him, trusting Him, and living in the freedom that Christ provides.
Join us next time as we continue through the Psalms, exploring the depth of their meaning and how they point us to Christ, the fulfillment of all things.
