Psalm 132 - Promises Kept

July 27, 2014 | Rev. Matt Pooley

Have you felt the pain of broken promises in your life? You can make room for God in your life, whose promises will never fail; but that will not happen if you try to make a "wait and see" promise to him. We must stop worshipping the god of "open options" and choose to trust in God's good promises in Christ.

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."
