This is the climax of the Psalms of Ascent, and is also a fitting analogy for our walk of faith, that ends in celebration and praise in the eternal city of God, the new Jerusalem.  Show Notes:   Support 1517   1517 Podcasts    The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts   1517 on Youtube   What’s New from 1517:   Remembering Rod Rosenbladt    New 1517 Academy Course: The Early Church: Christ, Controversies and Characters with Bruce Hillman    Preorder: Encouragement for Motherhood Edited by Katie Koplin    Preorder: Be Thou My Song by Kerri Tom    Here We Still Stand 2023 Videos are Available on YouTube    Last Chance: NWA Conference May 3rd-4th   More from the hosts:   Chad Bird
