Free Bible Study on Psalms -

This free 3-part Bible study on the Psalms will help your students learn how authentic worship authentically transforms us.

THIS IS HOW THE FREE BIBLE STUDY ON PSALMS BREAKS DOWN:

Part 1: WORSHIP HELPS US DEVELOP A POSTURE OF SURRENDER

If the Psalms had a “Top 50” on Spotify, Psalm 23 would likely be in the first or second slot. Let’s dissect a popular psalm about grass, sheep, and a shepherd and evaluate what it means about our state of surrender. How should this ancient poem change our modern lives? It shows that our worship should reflect God’s reliability and our reliance on Him.

Scripture: Psalm 23:1-3, 5-6

Part 2: WORSHIP HELPS US PROCESS OUR SORROW

The psalms are a stark contrast to popular Christian music on the radio. Around 70% of them are defined as songs of lament. Lament is an ancient literary genre designed to help people process pain. It’s an invitation to peak at someone’s diary as they work through grief. Most of the psalms are sad songs. How should that change the way we worship? When life leaves you reeling, it’s okay to bring remorse into your worship.

Scripture: Psalm 77:1-4; 11-12

Part 3: WORSHIP ALLOWS GOD’S PRESENCE TO SHAPE US

Psalm 96, a very old song, specifically demands that we sing a new song. Why? Because a new song represents God doing something new—this is a reason to celebrate. The art of praise, especially with a new song, is not just an act of explanation; it’s also an act of imagination. Praise forces us, as participants, to put God goggles over our bloodshot eyes. These spectacles help us see the world through the lens of faith-filled optimism.

Scripture: Psalm 96:1-3
