What If?

Psalm 124

June 26, 2022 • Luke Hendrix • Psalm 124

Psalm 124 | Luke Hendrix | "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." God is actively working in and through his people, and this has been the case for all of human history. As he works, God has proven his faithfulness to ultimately deliver his people from evil. Our confidence can be firmly placed in the faithfulness of our God!

“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.
