Ascent: Psalms 124-125 - Ascending through Thanksgiving by God's Power

“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side…”? In this week’s message, Pastor Nate takes us into Psalms 124 and 125 — two pilgrim songs that celebrate God’s rescue and the unshakable security of those who trust in Him.

In Psalm 124, we see that God isn’t just with His people, He’s for them. David declares that Israel’s survival was not due to their strength or strategy, but to the Lord’s saving power. In the same way, our own deliverance from sin, fear, and the spiritual forces that oppose us is entirely because of God’s faithful hand.

Then in Psalm 125, we ascend higher to the place of steadfast trust. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds His people forever. Even when the world feels unstable and evil seems to prevail, God’s people can stand firm on Christ, the immovable Rock!
