Joy for the House of the Lord

This sermon is part 2 of 13 in the Ascend Series

Today @EagleLifeChurch, we continue our new year sermon series, “Ascend.”🪜🧗🏼

🎉The biggest thing on everyone’s mind in the new year is new year’s resolutions and the changes we want to make in ourselves. But it is difficult to make this change because of the sin in this world and the sin in ourselves.

Don’t give up hope! 🕊️

2️⃣4️⃣This year, we invite you to ascend above the evil in this world and in ourselves. From psalms 120-134, we will explore the meaning of the psalms of ascent.

From the strong contrasts drawn between the outside world and Jerusalem by the pilgrims ascending to the holy city, we will find hope in our heavenly Father who shields us from evil and destruction.

Today’s message teaches us about the present, past, and future promise of God’s peace and prosperity for the people of His house. You will learn to find joy, experience community, and live changed. As the New Testament teaches, “on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matt 16:18)
