Lead by Rev. Karen Fitz La Barge and Seminarian Drew Meyers 

Worship Center II. 11:00 am - Noon

Jim Karsen was a beloved friend and teacher at Central Reformed Church and his Bible Studies were a regular feature of our Adult Education program.  Jim was in the midst of his research for a Bible study on the Psalms for the fall of 2008 when he died suddenly. This Bible study will honor Jim’s work and his categories of the Psalms and draw on some of his notes to explore the different ways in which the ancient Hebrews used these words in their songs. Our sessions include:

Week one: Praise Psalms.

Week two: Penitential Psalms.

Week three: Wisdom Psalms.

Week four: King/ Royalty/ Messianic Psalms.

Week five: Imprecatory Psalms.

Week six: Laments.

Week seven: Concepts of God in the Psalms.

Come join us as we utilize the poetry of ancient Israel to grow closer to God!
