About this sermon

The sermon explores the theological significance of the Psalms of Ascent, specifically focusing on Psalm 120 as the starting point of a spiritual journey. It argues that the Christian life is characterized by a persistent longing for a destination that has not yet been reached, reflecting the believer's status as a sojourner in a world marked by deceit and conflict. The text highlights the comfort found in God's hearing of the believer's cries for deliverance and the assurance of divine justice against lying tongues. Ultimately, the sermon points to Christ as the fulfillment of this psalm, who endured the distress of a hostile world to secure a permanent home of peace in heaven for His people.
