Turn Again Our Captivity
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.
We know that God frees us from our captivity. What we often don’t understand is how we end up back in captivity again after we’ve been freed. We can get imprisoned by our own thinking when we allow doubt, fear, unbelief, anger, unforgiveness, etc. to enter into our minds and hearts.
