Episode notes
Welcome to the Mount Zion Church Podcast! Join us for our weekly Sunday Psalms reading and preaching recorded live in Ahmedabad.
In this episode, we study Psalm 22, one of the most profound Messianic psalms in all of Scripture. Written by David, it vividly portrays the suffering, abandonment, and ultimate triumph of the Savior. As we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, we also join together in observance of the Lord's Supper, giving thanks for the broken body and shed blood that sealed our eternal redemption.
📖 Key Scripture: Psalm 22
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?" — Psalm 22:1
"They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." — Psalm 22:18
