Psalm 149

I am working on a commentary on the Psalms. I have decided to compile some helpful links that I discovered during my research. It includes a mix of exegetical and sermonic links.

New Resource on the Minor Prophets

BiblePlaces has just released twelve new volumes on the Minor Prophets. It is the latest volume in the Photo Companion to the Bible series. Like previous offerings, these are an excellent resource for pastors, professors, students, or really anyone interested in a serious study of the Bible. Not only do you get 9000 quality images on PowerPoint slides but also succinct but detailed notes on what you are looking at. This tool can enhance your knowledge as you prepare to preach or teach and enliven your presentations to congregation or class. I have used BiblePlaces resources for over twenty years in my own ministry. I highly recommend it. 

These resources are available here at the release price of $69 (two-for-one). Check it out.
