God calls us to be pilgrims, not tourists. Pilgrims experience stress because of the lies in our lives. We know that things are not as they should be. Our culture lies to us, and somewhere along the way we believe the lies. As pilgrims we need to turn away from the lie repent -- and toward God, the one who can deliver us.
Series Information
This series looks at the songs ancient pilgrims used to sing as they made their way to Jerusalem.. When Judah and Israel were conquered their people were sent out all over the ancient world. This was called the Diaspora, or dispersion. Three times a year, Pentecost, Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, Jews from various parts of the world would celebrate religious feasts by making pilgrimages to Jerusalem, to worship in the Temple. As they walked up the hill toward the Temple they would sing Psalms 120-134, the "Songs of Ascent."
