Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Worship.

It's a term at risk of being overused and misunderstood in Christianity.

In today's episode, we're going to listen to a sermon from the archives, as Paul teaches

from Psalm 122. In it, Paul reveals four things that true worship is meant to produce in the

heart and life of a follower of Christ. If you're interested in hearing more sermons from Paul,

It is clearly the most important topic that a human mind could ever consider.

It is the thing that defines everything in your life.

It's a thing that's mistakenly connected to religion, but is vastly bigger than that.

It is a thing that separates you from the rest of creation.

It is the topic of topics.

It is worship.

Tonight we want to consider an amazing psalm of worship. Tonight we want to consider an amazing Psalm of worship.

Nine little verses, but very comprehensive in its scope.

Turn your Bibles once again or there in the bulletin to Psalm 122 and let me read one more time

these these brief but significant words I was glad when they said to me let us go to the house of the Lord.

Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem built as a city that is bound firmly together to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Their thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they be secure who love you. Peace within your walls
