Week 1
Text: Psalm 130
Topic(s): Despair, Forgiveness, God’s Presence
Big Idea of the Message: The psalmist celebrates God’s provision of forgiveness and the joy of knowing that you’ve been forgiven.
Application Point: Because we are forgiven and freed from the pit, we can throw a rope to those still mired in the depths.
Big Idea of the Series: The Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120–34) are typically viewed as songs that were sung as the Hebrew people ascended to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual festival. This four-week series will examine these celebratory songs that were designed to praise God for his provision, protection, and deliverance as the Jewish people made pilgrimage.
