Church Family,
This past Sunday we spent our time in Psalm 31, one of David’s lament psalms. This psalm indicates that David was facing the dreadful experience of being slandered and being rejected for that slander. David responds by asking that God would preserve him, not just physically but spiritually. He asks that God would protect his character, and displays tremendous confidence that God will do just that. David repeatedly calls the attention of his readers back to God’s steadfast love by which the Lord preserves the faithful. Brothers and sisters, as we inevitably face trials in our lives, let us think back to this psalm. Let us be like David and pray that God would keep us in righteousness, and let us overflow with confidence in the steadfast love of God.
Kids Camp
Kids Camp is this week, maybe even happening right now as you read this blog! What are you doing checking your email? You should be here helping! In all seriousness, we want to thank everyone so much for all the hard work you have already put into Kids Camp and for all the work that is to come. We also ask that you would continue to pray for all the kids in attendance and for their families, that the Gospel would take hold in their hearts and even take hold in entire households. We trust that God is using all this effort to grow His kingdom and glorify His name.
Sunday Studies
We just wanted to take a second to remind you that while our Wednesday night ministries are on break for the Summer, our 9 a.m. Sunday Studies are ongoing. These classes are a great way to address important matters on a topical basis and to do so with a discussion-oriented approach that allows us to speak into each other’s lives in a unique way. If you’re not already in the habit of making it to these classes we would greatly encourage you to give them a shot.
Grace be with you,
Logan Murphy
