Illusionary Fronts Judged
Songs of Degrees: This is a sermon series about Psalms 120 through 134. The Songs of Degrees, or the Songs of Ascents, are meant to teach us about our upward journey toward what God wills for His church. There are 15 of these songs and there were 1,500 years between the ministry of Moses and the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. When God gave Moses the plan for the Tabernacle, it was the beginning of His plan to restore man, to rescue man. This plan, we know, was fulfilled by the death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord and Savior.
Like a Hollywood set, things in our lives and in the church can be an illusionary front, form without substance. God desires truth, even in the inward parts of our hearts. His Holy Spirit is given to judge the house of God and set things in order and the church must receive and submit to it, or the faithful city will become a harlot (Isa. 1:21).
Scripture: Psalm 130, Ezekiel 13:1-10, Isaiah 26:1-4, Proverbs 21:2, Isaiah 1:21-29, Genesis 49:16-17
