Sunday Service, July 20th 9:30am

The Psalms of Ascent are 'discipleship' psalms which show us the path of walking with God in your life. This week's Psalm of Ascent is Psalm 128 and it begins by talking about being "blessed" or "happy". A happy life can be thought of as containing three concentric circles: our relationship with God, our relationship with our inner circle of family and close relationship, and our relationship with the wider community. All three are part of the "blessed" life and as we unpack what allows us to be "happy" we will discover that these three expanding circles get colored with blessings by one common starting place: 'Awe'. Please join me this Sunday to learn more about living in a constant state of awe that will lead to a "blessed life". I look forward to sharing in our life together as we worship, sing, pray, and fellowship with our North Point family.
