Title: When Faith Grows Up (2)
Series: Elevate-21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Psalm 131:1-3
- Last week we began a series called Elevate: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. And to be honest, I don't think it does it justice to call this a "sermon series." It's so much more than that. I'm asking every one of you to participate in multiple ways. I want you to pray, I want you to fast, I want you to commit to be here each Sunday and participate.

Our staff has written and published prayer and fasting guides for adults and children. We want everyone to take a book and use it over these next 21 days. You may be thinking, "Well, I missed last week so there's really no sense in starting now." It's never too late to start! Join us and ask God to begin to do a powerful work in your life through prayer and fasting.*
- We are looking at a few selected psalms over these next few weeks. They are from a section of psalms called "Songs of Ascents." The Jews would sings these songs as they ascended to the Holy City, Jerusalem, for their special celebrations and festivals. Today, we come to Psalm 131 and I'm preaching a sermon entitled, When Faith Grows Up. READ TEXT - PRAY
- Good things come in small packages. Psalm 131 is one of the shortest psalms. But it is just as meaningful as the longest psalm. It is a short ladder that leads ...
