The Book of Psalms is a diverse collection of prayers, poems, and hymns that span many centuries of Israel’s history. It includes works by various authors such as King David, Asaph, the sons of Korah, Moses, and King Solomon, among others. The book is divided into five sections or books, each concluding with a doxology. The psalms cover a wide range of themes including God and His creation, war, worship, wisdom, sin, evil, judgment, justice, and the coming of the Messiah. They were integral to the ritual life of the Temple and have had a profound impact on both Jewish and Christian worship traditions.

In this episode of Further In, Pastor Ben sits down with Jon Harkey, Thomas Barr, and Hannah Myer to go deeper into Acts 2:1–41. Together they unpack the text from Sunday, share added insights, and explore what this passage means for us today.
