What are the Psalms of Ascent? And what can Psalms 120–134 teach us about following God.

In this episode of Summer in the Psalms, we dive into the Psalms of Ascent, a collection of fifteen psalms that God’s people sang as they journeyed toward Jerusalem to worship. As we study these psalms together, we’ll discover themes of faith, worship, pilgrimage, lament, hope, community, and trust in God.

More than ancient songs for a journey to Jerusalem, the Psalms of Ascent give us words for our own spiritual journeys. They teach us how to cry out to God when the road is difficult, remember His faithfulness when we’re weary, and keep our eyes fixed on Him as we make our way home.

Grab your Bible and join your Bible Study Besties as we explore Psalm 120–134 and learn how the Psalms of Ascent can shape the way we walk with God today.

In this episode, we explore the Psalms of Ascent, Psalm 120–134, biblical worship, trusting God, spiritual growth and walking with God through every season of life.
