We kick off the Fall season with “Restoration Sunday!” Grady will be doing some teaching on our “About Statement” at St Pete’s: We are about Restoration in Christ through Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit.

He will also be inviting each one of us to embrace our own “Restoration Rhythms” this Fall using a special resource we’ve been developing as a staff team. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday as we begin this new season with one another and with the Lord.

This Sunday we arrive at our final sermon in our “Summer in the Psalms” series. Psalm 119:33-40 speaks of our utter dependence upon God. In it, we pray for the graces of illumination, empowerment, confirmation, and the grace of the Gospel. A perfect posture as we face the coming Fall season!

We have arrived at the penultimate psalm in our summer series, Psalm 26. In this psalm, we hear David cry out for justice and vindication; he asks God to test his heart and mind and declare his innocence, in contrast to those who are trying to condemn him. It is a potent and emotion-filled psalm. But this psalm also challenges us as we pray it today; we might not feel that, like David, we can call ourselves blameless before God. So how do we pray a psalm like this?

Together we will explore the Old Testament understanding of this psalm, then examine this psalm through the lens of the Gospel. And hopefully by the end we will feel that, like David, we can boldly cry out for God's justice.

Join us this Sunday as Marion shares about how Psalm 138 is a song of testimony. David has experienced that the LORD has heard him, answered his prayer, and strengthened him! In response, David testifies to and sings of the greatness and goodness of the LORD before friend and foe alike. One day every tongue will confess the same, but for now in the midst of affliction, David trusts in the hand and character of the LORD.

Psalm 67 is a liturgical prayer that repeatedly asks for God’s blessing, not just for us and our well-being, but for the whole world. As we explore this short but powerful psalm, we’ll challenge a pervasive and dangerous heresy, consider how blessing works in the economy of God’s kingdom, and be invited to see all of life as a gift from God, given to us to reflect and proclaim his goodness and love.

Exuberant worship bookends Psalm 29; the heavenly beings and the temple worshippers both cry out “Glory!” to God. In the middle 7 verses, we discover the reason for their worship: a mighty thunderstorm!

Come Sunday and find out what this storm says about God and his heart to bless his people.

Join us this Sunday as we continue in the season of Ordinary Time together. This morning will be a Family Service, meaning all our congregation will be together! We will also be having a morning Prayer Service, and our friend Shannon will be sharing her sermon!

Why is memory so important for the people of God? This week in our series on Summer in the Psalms, the writer of Psalm 78 shows us why remembering the faithfulness of God is essential and how forgetting leads to disaster.

We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. This week we’ll look at a chunk of Psalm 119, which is essentially a love letter to God’s Law. Why does the psalmist feel so strongly about statutes? Come and see!

We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we will be immersing ourselves in the Church's ancient prayer book, inviting it to expand our imagination of prayer.

This week, we find ourselves in a psalm that will guide us in how to pray when we’re in trouble!

We have begun our new series, Summer in the Psalms. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we will be immersing ourselves in the Church's ancient prayer book, inviting it to expand our imagination of prayer.

This week, we find ourselves in a psalm written for the celebration of the harvest. Yet before this prayer gives thanks to God for abundant crops, it reflects on the praise God deserves and our need for forgiveness. As we examine this psalm, we will see God's incredible faithfulness, wrestle with the nature of praise, and begin to see how the Psalms point us to Jesus.
