S7E34: Out of the Depths (Selah - Life in a Minor Key pt. 6)

Sermon #385

Psalm 130 is a song of ascents, which means the Jewish pilgrims would sing it to themselves and to each other as they went up the mountain to the temple in Jerusalem. It is a song that is meant to keep our eyes fixed upon God, and what is it that this song tells us about God and His relationship with us? We are sinners, and our state is hopeless without the forgiveness of God. But we have hope in God's word, the promise that he has redeemed and he will redeem again. And we have this assurance in God's steadfast nature. It is a psalm of hope and assurance, and a reminder of the greatness of God's grace.
