Psalm 126 | Ben Potloff | "Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!" Our God restores, revives, and redeems. Throughout the Psalms of Ascent, we have been faced with the reality of our constant journeying through this life. But, in Psalm 126, we are reminded of our journey's ultimate destination. We have a home to look forward to.

“Bless Your Heart”
September 4, 2022 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 134
Psalm 134 | Ben Potloff | "Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord." Our summer in the psalms of Ascent comes to a close as the psalmist triumphantly points us to the worship of the Lord and closes with a statement of blessing from Zion. Here, we see that blessing comes from the Lord to those whose worship is aimed to the Lord.
Top To Bottom Unity
August 28, 2022 • Max Janusch • Psalm 133
Psalm 133 | Max Janusch | "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" Unity, harmony, and community are all universally understood to be good things, but we often see our world marked more clearly by division, strife, and isolation. King David pens this psalm with the purpose of revealing God's will for life to be lived in brotherly unity. Here, we see that where the Lord rules, unity reigns.
It Is Finished
August 21, 2022 • Gavin Hesse • Psalm 132
Psalm 132 | Gavin Hesse | "For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place." Our zeal to obey and our desire to remember God’s covenant are low. We often only focus on the potential rewards–on ideas of “love”–and forget the part of that covenant that requires obedience. Here, we see that the promised King is found by those seeking him.
