Barry begins our next summer series, for the month of July, back in the Psalms. This time we focus on the Psalms of Ascent. These particular songs were used as the people of God left the land of their various tribes and homes to come to a central place of worship, high up on the hill of Jerusalem. These songs were meant to remind them of truths that would carry them to God’s presence with praise and contemplation in response to two questions that impact every human everywhere: 1) where did you come from, and 2) where are you going.
Scriptures:
- Psalm 121
- Deut 12:2-7, 6:20-25
- Gen 1:16-18
