Poetic Introductions to Wisdom

Watch our Introduction video on the book of Job, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. Why does God allow us to suffer? Why do bad things happen to good people? The book of Job takes these questions head-on but may not give us the answers we want. The main answer Job does provide is that, in suffering, God is doing something beyond what our minds and logic can grasp. Ultimately, though, Job points us to Jesus who suffered for us and provides ultimate answers to our pain in his death and resurrection.  Brought to you by Spoken Gospel.

Watch our Introduction video on the book of Psalms, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. The Psalms are songs for a people waiting in exile. They spring from Israel's history, when people like King David wrote inspired songs giving thanks, repenting of sin, affirming God's promises, or asking for help. The Psalms have been a source of hope, a guide for honest prayer, and a treasury of prophetic promises for God's people throughout generations. Now, Jesus has fulfilled these Psalms and given them to his church, providing us with songs to sing while we wait in this earthly exile for his return.  Brought to you by Spoken Gospel.

Watch our Introduction video on the book of Proverbs, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. The Book of Proverbs is trying to get anyone who will listen back to the Tree of Life and off the path to death. This effort is personified through two main characters: Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly. Those who listen to Lady Wisdom escape death, receive wisdom, and walk in life. However, those who listen to Lady Folly repeat the mistakes made by Adam and Eve, earning the same result - death.

Watch our Introduction video on the book of Ecclesiastes, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. What is the meaning of life? Ecclesiastes asks this and other difficult questions but is unique in the way it answers them. The author of Ecclesiastes aims to show us how vain life "under the sun" is, despite anyone's most lofty attempts to make it meaningful. The only solution Ecclesiastes offers us comes from above the sun - namely from God. Only when we see how God brings meaning into our lives through the revelation of Jesus can we interact with this world in a way that escapes vanity and builds meaning.

Watch our Introduction video on the book of Song of Songs, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. Song of Songs tells a story about love, longing, passion, and waiting through a collection of songs about a bride and a groom. People often think this book is only about sexual intimacy or only a metaphor for our relationship with God. The beauty of this song, and why it is the called the greatest song ever written, is that it is about both. Only when we are intimate with God can we be properly intimate with anyone else. Only when we give holy love to others are we truly living in God's holy love for us.  Brought to you by Spoken Gospel.
