Psalm 19

A four-part look at Psalm 19: the heavens as witnesses to God's glory, marriage and covenant love, the law of the LORD as something good rather than something to fear, and the Passover lamb as an image of testimony and sacrifice.

Part 1

Are the Stars Really Speaking to Us?

Psalm 19 opens with a direct challenge: the heavens declare the glory of God, day after day, night after night - and yet it's easier to believe life sprang up spontaneously than to believe in a Creator who made it all with love and intention.

Part 2

Why Is Sex the Most Sacred Thing You Can Do With Your Body?

Psalm 19 describes the sun "like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber" - and in Christian typology, that bridegroom is Jesus and his bride is the Church. This episode takes an honest look at marriage, sexuality, and covenant love (the Hebrew chesed) as one of the most sacred things a human being can do.

Part 3

What If God's Law Isn't Scary After All?

Been afraid of the law and what it might bring down on you? Psalm 19 says something different: "the law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul" - not dangerous, not punishing you. This episode looks at Deuteronomy 30's promise that God's word isn't out of reach, and a personal story of memorising scripture during recovery.

Part 4

The Lamb in the Living Room

Before the Passover, a family would bring a lamb into the house and keep it there for days - long enough for the children to fall in love with it. This episode looks at the Feasts as "testimonies," and why a child's faith often understands them better than intellectual prowess ever could.
