Join Zach and Solomon for an incredibly powerful exploration of Psalm 24, unpacking what it means to recognise that the earth is the Lord's and everything in it, who can ascend the mountain of the Lord with clean hands and a pure heart, and how the King of Glory enters through the gates not as an invader but as the rightful owner returning home. This episode dives deep into the majestic opening declaration that God founded the earth upon the seas and established it on the waters, revealing how even chaos and uncertainty are under His authority and control, why the mention of the God of Jacob reminds us that grace is sufficient for tricksters and scoundrels like us, and how this psalm would have been read as Jesus entered Jerusalem on a Sunday and ultimately as He ascended through the gates of heaven on our behalf.
