  • How Might Anglicans Better Interpret What We Read in the Bible?
    Additional material: STUDY GUIDE How might Anglicans better interpret what we read in the Bible? A Study Guide for “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Themes and Principles emerging from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” Introduction to the Study Guide Have you ever wondered “What does the Anglican Communion believe about ...? An easy answer is hard to find! One approach is to trace the thinking of the Anglican Communion over time through its classic theologians and foundation documents. These include historic 16/17th texts, Lambeth Conference resolutions, Reports from Anglican Commissions and our ecumenical conversations (such as ARCIC). So, if you asked ‘what does the Anglican Communion believe about the Bible?’ then “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Extracts from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” outline what has been said officially about such matters. While they are consistent in what has been said over time, they also show developments in Anglican thinking. Certain Themes emerge from these texts which help summarise the position we, as Anglicans, take on this question [these are summarised in Section 3 of this Study Guide]. Other ways of framing the Themes are likely, however, and perhaps some Themes are missing. If your group feels that either of these are the case then we would be delighted to hear from you Let’s start a conversation But this Study Guide wants to go one step further. Are there guidelines that can assist us, as Anglicans, in the way we interpret what we read in Scripture? Those responsible for the Bible in the Life of the Church project 1 discerned Seven Principles which they derived from a number of Anglican sources: the Themes, regional research and contemporary Anglican hermeneutic insights.

  • Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction TITLE The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is Tehillim, which means "praise songs." The title adopted by the Septuagint translators for their Greek version was Psalmoi meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument." This Greek word translates the Hebrew word mizmor that occurs in the titles of 57 of the psalms. In time the Greek word psalmoi came to mean "songs of praise" without reference to stringed accompaniment. The English translators transliterated the Greek title resulting in the title "Psalms" in English Bibles. WRITERS The texts of the individual psalms do not usually indicate who wrote them. Psalm 72:20 seems to be an exception, but this verse was probably an early editorial addition, referring to the preceding collection of Davidic psalms, of which Psalm 72 was the last.1 However, some of the titles of the individual psalms do contain information about the writers. The titles occur in English versions after the heading (e.g., "Psalm 1") and before the first verse. They were usually the first verse in the Hebrew Bible. Consequently the numbering of the verses in the Hebrew and English Bibles is often different, the first verse in the Septuagint and English texts usually being the second verse in the Hebrew text, when the psalm has a title. ". there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."2 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired. As with some of the added and updated material in the historical books, the Holy Spirit evidently led editors to add material that the original writer did not include.

  • Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133
    Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133 Monday 12th October - Psalm 129 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— 2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” 4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” It is interesting that Psalm 128 and 129 sit side by side. They seem to sit at odds with one another. Psalm 128 speaks of Yahweh blessing his faithful people. They enjoy prosperity and the fruit of their labour. It is a picture of peace and blessing. And then comes this Psalm, clunking like a car accidentally put into reverse. Here we see a people long afflicted (v. 1-2). As a nation, they have had their backs ploughed. And the rest of the Psalm prays for the destruction of the wicked nations and individuals who would seek to harm and destroy Israel. It’s possible that this Psalm makes you feel uncomfortable, or even wonder if this Psalm is appropriate for the lips of God’s people.

  • Rise: Meeting God with the Psalms of Ascent by Cherie Dearth “From Where Does Our Help Come” November 1, 2020
    Rise: Meeting God with the Psalms of Ascent by Cherie Dearth “From Where Does Our Help Come” November 1, 2020 We are in our second week of our series, Rise: Meeting God with the Psalms of Ascent. We are using these Psalms as a pathway to connect with God for the renewal that we need at this point in the history of the worlds, unprecedented in our lifetimes. Last week we learned that the Psalms of Ascent are 15 short psalms (Psalms 120-134) that the Israelites would sing/say on their way to festivals in Jerusalem. The Israelites were on a physical pilgrimage to encounter God. We are on a spiritual pilgrimage. This is something that we desperately need after seven and a half months of living in the world of pandemic and all of the other things that have mushroomed as a result of the emotional distress in trying to preserve physical health, both of our friends, family, and neighbors as well as ourselves. We are tired. It almost feels like we are living in exile, separated from feeling of normalcy. That idea of exile is another connection with the creation and use of these Psalms of Ascent. That was as the Jewish people were returning from the Babylonian Exile. We saw a bit of that with last week's text, Psalm 120. "5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar!” We talk about not necessarily being ones physically living in foreign lands, but feeling like you are surrounded by people who are not like you, don't share the same culture or priorities of what is important, and in the most extreme cases, people who feel like enemies.

PRELUDE An Wasserflüssen Babylon J.S. Bach Nicholas Halbert, organ WELCOME The Rev. Dr. Jack W. Baca CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 46:1-11 Leader: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. People: Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Leader: There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns. People: The nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Leader: Come, behold the works of the Lord; see what desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.” People: The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

  • The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: the Sufferings
    The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: The sufferings and feelings of people who experienced the conquest and destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC, who were deported to Babylon in captivity. It gives vent to intense feelings of homesickness, depression, desire for revenge, patriotism, and rage. a) Verse 1: Verb is in the Past Tense i) How far back we don’t know. ii) Could be after the return to Jerusalem. iii) Could be while they were there in Babylon b) His mind goes back to the agonizing hours when they sat sadly from his homeland i) Tearful eyes and homesick hearts ii) They began to sing their songs of lament and play their harps in accompaniment. iii) Not only homesick, but they felt separated from God and the Temple. iv) It is a theological challenge: Can God have any power in a foreign land? (1) Has God rejected us forever?, Do we have access to God?. Are we being punished? 2) Verses 2-3: a) They cannot mourn in private. b) They hang up their harps on willow trees c) They hear their tormentors walking towards them. d) To make the prisoners aware of their power i) They call upon them to sing happy songs, a song of Zion (Psalms 46, 48, 84, 122) to entertain Gentiles! 3) Verse 4 a) They indignantly refuse. i) Would it be an affront to God? ii) Or is it because God can’t hear them so far away? b) What is clear is that not all situations are appropriate for praising God.

    Daniel Cooperrider 1 September 2019 Weybridge Congregational Church Amos 5: 24 Rivers of the Bible: Justice and Peace (Like a River) Introduction to Scripture Before we turn our attention to our scriptures for today, I’d like to give a little introduction or orientation to where we are, in terms of today being the third or actually fourth week of our seven week summer series on the theme of the Rivers of the Bible. The first week, as a reminder or introduction, we began with an experimental circular worship in our fellowship area downstairs, in which, in place of the sermon, we organized ourselves into a river flowing through that space, each placing ourselves along the course of the river wherever felt our lives landing at that moment—from the headwaters and source, to the riffles and rapids, to the winding bends and flat straight stretches, to the wide deep estuary or mouth. As we passed the microphone downstream to share our own river thoughts, we created our own flowing river of shared testimony together. The last two weeks have seen us focus on some key river stories in the Bible. Two weeks ago we began at the beginning with the story about the river of paradise that was said to flow out of the Garden of Eden. The question that week was the question of ultimate source, the question of ultimate beginning. Where actually does a river begin?, as a way of wondering, Where actually does all of this begin? My sermon that week included a personal adventure story of hiking up the side of Mount Tabor in southern Vermont trying to find the exact source of Otter Creek that flows through our town here.
