Ascend the Hill: Psalms of Summer - Dave Patterson

August 24, 2025·40 min·3 clips

Dave Patterson unpacks Psalm 24's ancient question: 'Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?' and reveals it's not about personal perfection.

Pastor Dave Patterson teaches on the biblical concept of 'ascending the hill of the Lord,' using Psalms of ascent and mountain narratives from scripture to illustrate how Christians can move from spiritual stagnation to progressive transformation. He identifies common patterns of stalled spiritual journeys and offers practical steps for gaining elevation through humility, responding to God's invitation, and accessing grace rather than striving.
