Title: When God Makes a Promise (3)
Series: Elevate- 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Psalm 132:1-18
- We are in the middle of something pretty incredible here at Second.
We began 2025 with a sermon series called, Elevate: 21 Days of Prayer of Fasting. And you all know by now; this is so much more than just a sermon series. 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.

You have taken ownership of this process, you have prayed for the Lord's guidance and wisdom, and you have bought in to what God wants to do in these 21 days. And for that, I am so grateful.*

You may even see that inscription above Psalm 132 These were special songs that the Jewish people would sing as they traveled to Jerusalem for seasons of worship. And in Psalm 132, we see what it's like When God Makes a Promise. READ TEXT

The older one smiled and said, "Promise!" So, the older brother cracks the first egg over his head... then the second. By now, the younger brother is standing there covered in a mess, waiting for the third egg. He asks, "When are you going to do the last one?" And the older brother, laughing, says, "I'm not. That would cost me a dollar!"*1
- Human promises can be unreliable. But when God makes a promise, He intends to keep it. Psalm 132 is a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness. It refl ...
