Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
July 26, 2026
The road ahead can be beautiful, but it can also be dangerous. Psalm 121 was a song for pilgrims making their way toward Jerusalem, lifting their eyes to the hills and asking where their help would come from. The answer was not found in the hills themselves, but in the Maker of heaven and earth. Join us for Track 3 of Summer Psalms Mixtape Vol. 5, where we will learn that God does not promise a trouble-free journey, but He does promise to keep His people every step of the way.
