This sermon was preached in a series called Songs of Ascent which went through Psalms 120-134. I was inspired to do this series by Eugene Peterson’s A Long Obedience in the Same Direction.

Sermon title: Perseverance

Sermon outline

Main idea: We persevere through affliction because God always rescues his people.

  • God’s people face great affliction (vv. 1-3).
  • God always rescues his people (v. 4).
  • Those who hate God’s people ultimately fail (vv. 5-8).
