summer sermon series

 

 Our summer sermon series is on the Psalms of Ascent. This is section of 15 Psalms (120-134) that each come with an inscription saying “A Psalm of Ascent” Most scholars believe these were psalms for Temple pilgrimages, where you would sing them on the way to Jerusalem or as you walked up the steps to the Temple. So, in a way, these are both songs for a journey AND prayers for approaching God. Eugene Peterson refers to this section as a “dog-eared songbook” that God’s people have used for generations and still are perfect for us to sing today because “there are no better songs for the road for those who travel the way of Christ.” May we all grow closer to Him this summer.   

If you would like to delve even deeper into this series, I’d recommend these resources:  

  • Derek Kidner’s Commentary on Psalms 73-150 – Kidner was one of my favorite Old Testament scholars but this commentary isn’t overly technical or academic but actually very readable!  
  • A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society by Eugene Peterson. This book, which I quoted earlier is a classic on discipleship and Christian formation. It actually lines up really well with the Discipleship series we’re finishing as it walks through different aspects or characteristics of discipleship but Peterson uses the Psalms of Ascent as his guide through most of the book which I think will help in applying the Psalms to our personal lives each week.
