This engaging six-part series explores how the Psalms and Proverbs reveal the life, teachings, and mission of Jesus in remarkable depth.

Brother Colin Edwards invites listeners to see familiar scriptures in a new light, showing their living connection to the Master and their guidance for believers today.

The Word Made Flesh

This opening class sets the foundation by showing how the Psalms and Proverbs can be viewed as a ‘Fifth Gospel,’ prophetically revealing Jesus’ birth, character, mission, and ultimate purpose. Brother Edwards draws connections between ancient verses and the life of Christ, beginning with the wonder of his divine conception and early years.

From Father to Son – The Secrets of the Proverbs

Here, the focus shifts to the book of Proverbs as a father’s instruction to his son—prophetically, from God to Jesus, and from God to all his children. The class explores the power of words, the importance of measured speech, and how Jesus made his Father’s wisdom the guiding principle of his life.

Proverbs in the Teaching of the Master

This session uncovers how Jesus wove the book of Proverbs into his own teaching, drawing parables and lessons directly from its imagery and phrases. By revisiting the Old Testament context, Brother Edwards reveals fresh layers of meaning in the Master’s words and challenges listeners to search diligently for God’s wisdom.

Suffering, Death, and Resurrection in the Psalms

Focusing on the Psalms that foretell Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection, this class shows how he endured hardship by looking forward to his vindication and exaltation. The vivid imagery of rejection, betrayal, and ultimate triumph offers a moving portrait of the Savior’s steadfast trust in his Father.

Guidance for Us While We Wait for Him

In this study, the ascension and high priestly role of Jesus are brought into focus. Brother Edwards explains how these events complete the sequence of his life’s work and shape the believer’s present calling. The Psalms offer guidance for living faithfully while awaiting the King’s return.

The King in Glory

The final class celebrates Jesus as the promised King in glory. Drawing on the Psalms, Brother Edwards highlights the relationship between God the Father and his Son, the prophetic vision of Christ’s reign, and the call for all people to serve and trust in him as the rightful ruler of the earth.
