By the rivers of Babylon, God’s people hung up their harps and stopped singing. This sermon outline, part of the Summer in the Psalms series, walks through Psalm 137 and the Babylonian exile, asking how to worship in a place you never wanted to end up, especially when the wreckage has your own fingerprints on it.
