Psalms: Ancient Israel

As we continue in our series “Discovering the Psalms,” we go to ancient Israel where we’ll learn about Psalms the Israelites used to worship God and welcome new kings. Much of the Psalms speak of sacrifices and kings. Chris will take us to the New Testament and show us how those Psalms were used in describing Jesus—our great sacrifice and King! Isn’t it amazing how the Bible connects?

Apples of Gold: The Expert

Many arrive at the Western Wall early and read so fast that no one can understand them. This is so they can return to their homes as quickly as possible. Upon encountering some of these men at the wall, Zvi asks, “I see your Bible is open to Psalm 24. Do you know the one about whom King David is speaking?” Listen to this week’s dramatic reading from the life of Holocaust survivor, Zvi Kalisher, to find out more about this conversation. 

Zvi’s story is available in Elwood McQuaid’s book, “Zvi: The Miraculous Story of Triumph over the Holocaust,” available at our online store.

More stories from Zvi are also available in his book, “The Best of Zvi,” available at our online store.
