Psalm 120

This summer we'll be looking at a group of Psalms known as the Songs of Ascents, Psalm 120-134. Sung by the Israelites as they traveled up to Jerusalem for different religious festivals each year, these Psalms have come to be seen as the songs that narrate the life of discipleship. As Eugene Peterson describes them, they are "Songs for the Road" as we follow Jesus through this life. This Sunday we will look at the first one, Psalm 120, which describes the discomfort many of us experience in this world, but that ultimately points us toward home.
