Where Does My Help Come From?.

Five days in Psalm 121

Psalm 121 was sung by pilgrims at the foot of the hills on the way up to worship, asking the question every heart asks sooner or later. Over five days, slow down with this psalm and meet the God who keeps your life.

Help from the Maker of heaven and earth
The God who never slumbers or sleeps
The Lord as your keeper and your shade
Kept in your going out and coming in, now and forever

For anyone in a hard season who needs to remember where help comes from.

The Snare Is Broken

Part 2 of Incense & Oil. Pastor Hazen walks through Psalm 124 in four movements: the honesty of need, the waters that should have taken us, the dove over the flood and the snare that is broken, and the help that holds everything. It is praise that remembers, the same song Israel first sang on the far shore of the Red Sea.
