When Under Pressure | Draw Near to God

When people treat us with contempt, how should we respond? Ptr. Jared Co uses Psalm 123 to remind us that we must look up to God when other people look down on us. For when we look up to Him, we are reminded that Jesus died for us on the cross and that we can count on new mercies from Him.
