Series: Pray the Psalms

Songs of Ascent

September 03, 2023 | Lynette Sanchez

The Songs of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) are a collection of psalms that speak together about the journey of the faithful as they come to worship God. We are also on a journey of faith that calls us to continue seeking God in all seasons as we grow toward contented maturity in Christ.

Series Information

St. Augustine said "He who sings prays twice."  The book of Psalms is a unique book of the Bible designed for Israel's times of corporate worship and prayer.  Worship is our response to God based on who He is and what He has done, and the Psalms are a God-inspired response of worship.  Throughout the series each week we will look at a different Psalm and uncover the riches contained in that Psalm, as well as different categories of worship and prayer throughout the book.  In addition, we are encouraging our church to pray the Psalms as part of your daily worship and prayer to God; doing so will expand and enrich your prayer life.
