Worship and prayer rise like incense before God, and his blessing comes down like oil. In Part 1 of Incense & Oil, Pastor Hazen Stevens opens the Psalms of Ascent, the songs pilgrims sang on the road up to Jerusalem, the same songs Jesus sang as a boy. From Psalm 122 he shows four marks of the one who goes up: a joyful response to God's invitation, united praise, an altar that is also a throne we can petition, and the release of shalom, nothing broken, nothing lacking, nothing lost.
Key Scriptures: Psalm 122, Psalm 133, Acts 10:4, 2 Corinthians 2:15, Hebrews 4:16, Luke 2:41-52
The Call: let the Prince of Peace bring his shalom into your heart, then your home, then your city. This week, pray for the peace of Atlanta and ascend daily with us in prayer.
