You Are My God (FC Annual Lectures 2016)

Studying the psalms is a daunting task to anyone. The sheer bulk of the collection can be intimidating, as well as its diversity and depth. Among its treasures, however, is that the psalms portray what a genuine relationship with God looks like, in contrast to the many caricatures, misrepresentations, and counterfeits we see displayed in the world around us today. The psalmists explore many facets of the God-man relationship across a broad spectrum of thoughts, emotions, and challenges. They range from the highs to the lows, and from the simple to the complex. The collection presents a relationship with God in times of peace, in times of despair, in times of confusion, and in times of distress. The thread that unites the studies in this volume is that they each hope to touch upon one of those facets in the attempt to re-acquaint us with the fullness of our relationship with God.
