In this second message from our Rising Hope series, we explore Psalm 122—a song of joyful arrival in the presence of God. The psalmist’s gladness at going to the house of the Lord reminds us of the greater access we now have through Christ, the true and better Temple. As we draw near to God, he draws us together as his people, and we are called to rejoice, to unite, and to pray for peace where his presence dwells. This message invites us to experience the fullness of joy in God’s presence and to live as his temple in the world today.
