2026 Psalter Conference: The Theology of the Psalter
Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church invites you to attend our 2026 Psalter Conference, presenting the completeness of the Psalter, and thus its suitability for Christian worship in every age of the New Testament Church. We have planned eight informative and (we pray!) edifying addresses covering the whole catalogue of Systematic Theology, all from the inspired Psalms. Our prayer is that the Lord would use this time to raise the awareness of His Church concerning the treasured hymn-book that He has penned, that we might sing with understanding. (Psalm 47:7; 1 Corinthians 14:15)
Lectures will can be found linked here as they become available.

January 2026 Psalter Conference
We are pleased to host this conference declaring the greatness of the Lord’s own hymn-book.
Our desire and prayer is that the Lord might use these addresses to raise
the awareness and appreciation of the Church of our common Lord for singing the Psalms with
understanding, incorporating them into the public and private worship of God.
You are invited to spend a few days with us, hearing what the
Psalms teach concerning God, Christ, the Church, the entire catalogue of theology
in 8 addresses. We will also sing from the Psalter, teaching and
admonishing one another (Colossians 3:16).

THE PSALMS are in the Hebrew, divided into Five Books, like those of Moses; and so they may be called, A Second Pentateuch. Yea, They are a surprising Epitome of all the Bible; For which cause, if we call the Psalter, A Little Bible, we shall do no other than what Luther did before us. And such are the Excellent Virtues, in the Leaves of this Tree of Life which our God has granted for the Healing of the Nations, that, as Proclus of Constantinople expresses the matter, To cure Heaviness, to lay aside trouble some Thoughts and Passions, to ease us of our Cares, and recreate those who are oppressed with any, sorts of Pains, as well as to move Compunction for Sin, and to stimulate unto Piety, no Book in the World, is to be compared with it, for such important purposes. —Cotton Mather
Each book of the Bible has, of course, its own particular message: the Pentateuch, for example, tells of the beginning of the world, the doings of the patriarchs, the exodus of Israel from Egypt, the giving of the Law, and the ordering of the tabernacle and the priesthood; The Triteuch [Joshua, Judges, and Ruth] describes the division of the inheritance, the acts of the judges, and the ancestry of David; Kings and Chronicles record the doings of the kings, Ezra the deliverance from exile, the return of the people, and the building of the temple and the city; the Prophets foretell the coming of the Saviour, put us in mind of the commandments, reprove transgressors, and for the Gentiles also have a special word. Each of these books, you see, is like a garden which grows one special kind of fruit; by contrast, the Psalter is a garden which, besides its special fruit, grows also some those of all the rest. –Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria
The Psalms are an epitome of the Bible, adapted to the purposes of devotion. They treat occasionally of the creation and formation of the world; the dispensations of Providence, and the economy of grace; the transactions of the patriarchs; the exodus of the children of Israel; their journey through the wilderness, and settlement in Canaan; their law, priesthood, and ritual; the exploits of their great men, wrought through faith; their sins and captivities; their repentances and restorations; the sufferings and victories of David; the peaceful and happy reign of Solomon; the advent of Messiah, with its effects and consequences; his incarnation, birth, life, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, kingdom, and priesthood; the effusion of the Spirit; the conversion of the nations; the rejection of the Jews; the establishment, increase, and perpetuity of the Christian church; the end of the world; the general judgment; the condemnation of the wicked, and the final triumph of the righteous with their Lord and King. –George Horne
