Bible Lab S2 Ep.27 - The Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 121-143)

On our way up to Zion

The Psalms of Ascent are beautiful worship songs that Jewish pilgrims would traditionally sing on the way up to Jerusalem for their major festivals. Today, they are songs that point us to think about our own journey with Christ on the way to the heavenly city! Join Ryan and Jake for an exploration of book V of the Psalms!
