Today we kick off our holiday series in the Psalms. In the first of the Psalm of Ascent, a weary pilgrim cries out to God from a place of distress – surrounded by deceit, conflict, and hostility. This ancient prayer reminds us that honest lament is a form of faith, and that even in the darkest valleys, we can bring our deepest troubles before the Lord. As we begin our own journey of ascent, we are invited to voice our struggles and trust in the God who hears. Joram will bring us that shortly.

The resurrection is historically grounded, eyewitness-confirmed, and Scripturally foretold. It is the foundation of the Gospel.

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds celebrate a king of their own expectations. But His actions reveal a very different kind of Messiah—one who confronts, restores, and calls us to see Him as He truly is. This week we ask: Who is Jesus, and what kind of Saviour are we looking for?
