Peter sets up his weighty excursus with an equally weighty greeting, calling his audience “elect exiles of the dispersion.” Give the sermon a listen and dive into this new series with us.

We’re starting a new Sermon Series this week called ‘Stand Firm.’ We’ll be diving into the Book of 1 & 2 Peter and we’d love to encourage to get a head start by watching this 8 minute overview by Bible Project on 1 Peter.

Psalm 12, like many of the Psalms we’ve covered this Summer, is a lament and it teaches us “even when wickedness seems to prevail, God will guard the poor and needy.”

Membership is an amazing opportunity to say, “I’m all in” to joining the family of The Parish Church and partake in the vision and mission we’ve been called to.

Psalm 11 is short but intense. Read carefully, it can teach us that our confidence in the face of evil is solely in who God is, what he has done, and who that makes us. Check it out.

This week we jumped into Psalm 10 and talked about how God’s people lament that this world does not look like the Kingdom of God and yet trust in His promises that it one day will.

Please mark your calendars and prioritize making it to the Sunday Gathering on AUGUST  8 where we’ll have a very important ‘Family Member Meeting’ immediately following the Gathering.

“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.I will be glad and exult in you;I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”

Psalm 8 teaches us that truly living into the Story of God and glorifying him means embracing our weakness and finding our supreme satisfaction in him alone.
