SummaryThe Psalms of Ascent teach us the importance of the journey with the Lord. Every step is an opportunity to ascend. We begin the journey to ascend by lifting our eyes from where we are to where God has called us. Then our soul answers the question, "Where does my help come from?" The Maker of heaven and earth made us, and He provides everything we need and protects us from every threat. He is the Lord our Keeper.TakeawaysThe Psalms of Ascent transform an ordinary journey into a sacred pilgrimage.Every step taken is an intentional surrender to God.Lifting our eyes is the first step in our journey.The Maker of heaven and earth made us and He will provide our help.God's protection is vigilant and continuous.God preserves what we have failed to guard.Every step is an opportunity to ascend higher and draw closer to the One who walks with us.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Psalms of Ascent05:24 The Journey Begins: Psalm 12110:52 The Maker: God's Provision17:25 The Watchman: God's Protection24:21 The Guardian: God's Preserving26:50 Conclusion: Ascending in Faith and Purpose

Beyond the Walls Arise Church Beyond the Walls is a podcast based on the conversations beyond a Sunday morning at Arise Church. We will be diving deeper into topics, talking with special guests, and enjoying a whole lot of coffee and Jesus. Ahsan Hanif Muslim Central Shaykh Ahsan Hanif, PhD, is the Head of our Quran and Hadith Sciences Department. Surprising to our students, Shaykh Ahsan is actually among our youngest instructors; his calm demeanour, mature attitude, and advanced knowledge causes us to assume otherwise.Born and bred in Birmingham, UK, he is well known in his community as the young Qari who memorised the Qur’an at the tender age of 13 and who delivered regular halaqat in Birmingham.In the year 2000, he gained a scholarship to enter the Islamic University of Madinah. After completing his Arabic diploma, he graduated from the Faculty of Shari’ah in 2006 with honours. He obtained ijazah in the Qur’an as well as studied under a number of well known scholars, such as Sh. Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad and Sh. Muhammad ibn Muhammad Mukhtar al-Shinqiti. Shaykh Ahsan also recently completed his PhD in Islamic Law from the University of Birmingham. Didaché Justin Peters Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will d Jumu'ah Khutbahs (Friday Sermons) Green Lane Masjid A selection of Jumu'ah Khutbahs delivered at Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre, Birmingham, UK.
